As he greets the hordes of children in a town square outside Sao Paulo, Brazil, Vitor Martins, looks like your standard Santa Claus, with a big white beard, 'bowl-full-of-jelly' belly, round glasses and red robe and hat. But beneath the Father Christmas outfit hides what might be the world's most tattooed Santa Claus, as Mr Martin has covered 94 per cent of his body in colourful ink - most of it follows a holiday theme. The 59-year-old artist, who has been working as a shopping centre Santa for more than 15 years, has decorated his body with everything from Santa Claus himself, his reindeer, Christmas trees and one his arms is adorned with a cheerful - but misspelled - 'Merry Chritmas'.
