The Brazilian catwalk superstar logged on to her Instagram account to reveal that she's had the "symbol of autism" etched onto her
Along with a black and white photo of her going under the needle, she wrote: "So this just happened guys! I always wanted to do a second tatto and I couldn't find anything meaningful enough till a meeting that I had couple weeks ago about autism and kids with special needs.
"Don't know if you guys know and I was never open about it but my son was diagnosed with autism 5 years ago. My first tatto is his name on the back of my neck and finally I found what I wanted to be my second.
"I decided to do the symbol of autism( and kids with special needs) as a tatto and it's beautiful and perfect just the way I wanted to be thanks to @robgreennyc THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm so happy about i, it means A LOT to me! [sic]"
The brunette beauty then shared another photo of the completed tattoo, a multi-coloured ribbon representing her support for autism, where the model was flooded with positive comments from fans.

Another said: "My brother has autism and there is a lot of things we still don't know about autism. My dream is to help people with autism and to understand more this people, really great job Lais!"
