Brazilian car influencer Ricardo Godoi has sadly passed away while getting a back tattoo. His death was announced on his Instagram account on Jan. 20, where he had over 200,000 followers, per the Independent.
The post read,
“Today we say goodbye to Ricardo Godoi, an incredible person who left his mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.”
“His joy, generosity and light will remain present in our memories and in every story he helped to build. May he rest in peace,”
it added.
The influencer hired a tattoo studio to create a full back tattoo, using general anesthesia at a hospital in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Hours before his death, Godoi updated his followers about the procedure and planned to share results afterward. Sadly, he suffered cardiac arrest and died at noon on Monday.
The owner of the tattoo studio informed The Daily Mail that the influencer died
“at the beginning of the sedation and intubation.”
“That occurred before they even started tattooing him … He was quickly checked and a cardiologist was called in to try to revive him, unfortunately without success,”
the owner continued.
The influencer’s death is reportedly still under investigation.
He was popular for sharing content about luxury cars, which featured his wife, Rafaela Gastaldi, at times. In addition to his online success, he was the CEO of his own company, Godoi Premium Group.
