Speaking on the recent episode of the 90’s Baby Show on the topic of tattoos,Bella Shmurda has asserted that having tattoos is no longer a big deal in Lagos and parents are more lenient towards anyone with body ink.
Bella stated that religion does not necessarily dictate what’s the ‘norm’ anymore and there is now a paradigm shift in Nigerian societies.
Bella said: “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,”
Going further to prove his point, he said the older generation who were initially against body modifications are now less focused on that and are rather focused on making sure the young ones avoid troubles and all things related to it.
He said:”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,”
Rounding up, Bella declared that having a tattoo doesn’t make him a bad person, saying; “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 claims to now have 18 of them on his body.
