Tom
Leppard, whose entire body is covered in leopard-spot tattoos, lived as
a recluse on the Scottish island of Skye for 20 years, living with no
electricity and no furniture.
The Leopard Man, who spent £5,500 on tattoos, used to have to canoe three miles for his weekly shopping.
Now,
at 73, Leppard says: “I was perfectly happy in the bothy but I’m like
everyone else – I’m getting too old for that kind of life. I had to
canoe to Kyle once a week for shopping and it was getting too hard for
me – I was one big wave away from disaster. It’s a pretty nasty stretch
of water.”
We wonder what the city folks will react when The Leopard Man leaves his Island life and finally comes to town.
