He stated he did not feel any affiliation with leopards, and selected spots solely because they were easy for tattoo artists to do on a grand scale. Leppard was a Roman Catholic.[4] After 28 years service in the armed forces, including stints with the Royal Navy and then as a coloured sergeant in the Rhodesian Special Forces[5], he moved from London to a small derelict bothy (hut) without amenities on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, where he lived for the next 20 years as a hermit until 2008.[6] He would travel by kayak to the mainland to buy supplies and pick up his pension and groceries once a week. He then moved to a larger house in Broadford, Skye, followed by sheltered accommodation in a retirement home on the outskirts of the city of Inverness. Although he was surpassed by Guinness as the Most Tattooed Man by Lucky Diamond Rich, he was given another distinction having been named the "Most Tatttooed Male Senior Citizen". He died aged 80, on 12 June 2016.[5], after his death he's title was surpassed by USA man Charles Helmke, whose body is covered by 97.5 percent in tattoos.[7] Notes1. ^interview with Neil Stephen in the Guardian newspaper: [https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/oct/28/scotland The cat who came in from the cold] (28 October 2008) {{DEFAULTSORT:Leppard, Tom}}2. ^Lucky Diamond Rich is now acknowledged as the world's most tattooed person{{Cite web|last = Guinness World Records|title = Most Tattooed Person |url = http://www.guinessworldrecords.com/records/human_body/body_beautiful/most_tattooed_person.aspx|accessdate=2007-08-21 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20071023142456/http://www.guinessworldrecords.com/records/human_body/body_beautiful/most_tattooed_person.aspx |archivedate = 2007-10-23|df = }} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-tattooed-senior-citizen-(male)|title=Most tattooed senior citizen.
