“Having tattoos is not a new thing anymore” reveals Nigerian Singer Bella Shrmuda
The singer has stated that there has been a paradigm shift in the topic of tattoos in Nigeria.
“Having tattoos is not a new thing in Lagos anymore. This time religion does not dictate everything that you do anymore, our parents have grown to understand that there has been a shift and we have to live our lives,” he said.
He went on to say that the older generation is becoming more accepting of the previously taboo bodily modification.
Bella Shmurda went on to say that they are more concerned with keeping the kids out of danger.
“Even the elderly ones in Lagos have come to accept that they have done their part and we have to live our lives. The only wrong thing I see is committing crime but whatever other thing you do is fine, just don’t put yourselves in trouble. That’s the only thing with our parents these days, you can do what you like but don’t put yourselves in trouble,” he explained.
“Tattoos are fine, in Nigeria now there are even some pastors that have tattoos, they are like ‘I like, I did it but my heart is pure.’ A tattoo doesn’t determine who I am, and I feel like everyone has grown,” he added.
The Singer then disclosed that he currently has 18 tattoos overall, despite his mother’s initial criticism of his first tattoo.
