5 Celebrity Tattoos That Are Dividing Nigerians (Photos)

Tattoos are one way that an individual can choose to express themselves and put important or not-so-important memories and images on their body for varying reasons. It is also a very polarizing topic especially here in Nigeria. To many, tattoos are seen as immoral and dirty while others see it as an expression of self.

Celebrities are known to be risk takers and provocateurs. Here are 5 female Nigerian celebrities who decided to get tattoos and the reactions that came from each.

1. Tiwa Savage

One tattoo that definitely caused a lot of division was Tiwa Savage’s full sleeve tattoo. For the longest time, Tiwa rocked a tattoo on her arm right arm that ended right around her shoulder. Then last year, she decided to complete the tattoo and extend it all the way up her arm forming a full sleeve tattoo.

Needless to say, the tattoo caused quite the divisive conversation online. People were polarized. Some people liked the tattoo tweeting out things like “Tiwa Savage’s sleeve tattoo will forever have my heart!! Kai!”, “I’m indifferent about tattoos but abeeeg I’ve got a special liking for Tiwa Savage’s Sleeve tattoo “, and “Tiwa Savage and her sleeve tattoo can choke me idc idc.“

Other people did not like the tattoo as much. One user said about it: “As she’s getting older she’s turning into something else. Hanty Tiwa remember your 40+, this kind of things no fit you. You are suppose to be a role model” while another said “At her age, foolishness of d highest order.“

2. Moet Abebe

Nigerian OAP and media personality Moet Abebe caused quite a stir and a lot of division when she earlier this year revealed her 24th tattoo to the world. The tattoo reads “you are enough” and is situated on her backside.

While a few people liked the tattoo, the majority of commenters seemed to hate the fact that Moet has so many tattoos. One user said “Where next pls? Your forehead and brain right? Just carve a map of Nigeria so we can use you for directing locations” and somebody else said “I think she spelt wrongly it’s meant to be it’s enough wtf is someone doing with 24tats what are you signing yourself up for? Jeez“

3. Toyin Lawani

Another woman who took to the internet to show off her tattoo and got quite some backlash in return is someone that is no stranger to making the internet talk, stylist Toyin Lawani. When Toyin Lawani posed naked albeit a cloth in front of her, fans and netizens wondered what the stylist was showing off, her tattoo or body.

Of course some users liked it but a lot of people didn’t. One user said: “She’s showing off her tattoo, breast, butt and frosh skin. Person mama o” while someone else said “Showing prostitution or tattoos which one??“

4. Blessing Okoro

Relationship expert Blessing Okoro is another woman whose tattoo caused quite a ruckus online. The relationship expert tattooed on her upper arm a quote that reads “Denrele Edun said be mad, make a difference” along with her sons’ names Darel & Bryan.

While some people found it to be cute, others did not think so at all. In response to Blessing’s tattoo, one user said: “Can someone tell me what’s going on with some people. Tatoo cele name on their skin that last for eternity. Do they know the consequence of what they are doing? This is totally idiotic” while another person said “Nawa for this lady self..i feel for ppl that listen to dat ur relationship advice..she doesnt act normal at all“

5. Ayra Starr

Finally on our list is singer Ayra Starr who this week took to social media to show off a new lower back tattoo.

The tattoo was met with very mixed reaction. One user said “I love your tattoo” while another user said “you don draw tattoo for yansh now now, you no use 5 yrs for industry oo” amidst other things.
