Larry The Leopard death, How did he die? – Texas tattoo artist’s Larry Da Leopard died in November 28 2018. Larry Da Leopard died of alleged brain swelling. Larry The Leopard turned himself into a big cat with 1,000 tattooed spots. Larry The Leopard died at the age of 40.

The Lance Brieschke Born tattoo artiste was a well-known character in Austin, prowling the streets in little more than a loincloth as part of his outrageous leopard act.

Larry, who refers to himself as a ’manimal’ – half man, half animal – has no regrets about his choice of body art.

Larry Da Leopard was the owner of the Telepathic Tattoo parlor in Austin. He started tattooing his body at age 20. According to him his decision for such a body change was as a result of the desire to subvert society’s expectations.

Larry revealed that his parents wept on the first sight of seeing the leopard spots on his body.

‘My family has a military and Christian background, so they didn’t take to my tattoos very well,’ he said.

Larry and Julia Ruth dated for seven years and they had a child named Zoom.

The 29 year old Hairstylist, Julia Ruth who has been dating Larry on and off for seven years, admitted that sometimes she gets annoyed at her wild boyfriend for being so outgoing with his fans.

‘Sometimes I think he’s a little overly friendly and willing to just answer whatever questions,’ she said. ‘If we’re on a date, I want him to set some boundaries.’

But Ruth added that she is never embarrassed to be around the 40-year-old man covered in spots and sporting a loincloth, calling him ‘amusing.’

Not everyone has been as accepting of Larry’s leopard-inspired alter-ego as Ruth: the tattoo artist has been barred from entering diners and even accused of being the devil.

‘I’m proud of my tattoos – few people look like me,’ said the defiant artist. ‘When I look in the mirror in the morning I like what I see.’

Tributes poured on social media after the demise of Larry Da Leopard.

Txrdholyrollers pen down his tribute and wrote..

We are so sad to lose one of TXRD’s Old School fans.
“Larry was awesome, in many ways. One of the kindest souls. He had more friends than anyone I’ve ever known, and that was never a surprise to me. Friends that he would give the shirt off of his back for.

He LOVED the Hellcats, and was eventually banned from being our mascot after he jumped on the track to take out a Puta after she did one of us dirty. He had already been banned from the center of the track because he couldn’t stop throwing benches or harassing the other teams.
He was loyal to us until he was no longer allowed, but then still remained one of our biggest fans. His tattoo shop, Telepathic, sponsored our team until it closed its doors.
Larry also wore a loin cloth with nothing under, because he was hardcore, but it also freaked out a skater so they started making him wear a thong. At that point, that’s when he got a handler so that she could reel him in when he started throwing Shit. He was as into the games as we were. And that was AWESOME!” ~per Miss Amerikill
