The Nigerian mentality on Having a tattoo : An appraisal

"classic people don't have tattoo because no one can intentionally scratch a Bentley or a ferrari, if you have a tattoo you're either a car or lorry"

The above quote is popular among critics, if you have a tattoo, it's very common to be regarded as a cultists by the Nigerian police force, and you would be regarded as an immoral agent by the community at large.

Let me review and revert the above quote. A tattoo is a work of art which serves as beautification or remembrance of a particular occurrence. In addition a tattoo isn't a scratch because it's done with a lot of effort and prescription just like other works of art.
As a matter of fact, works of arts are mostly done on the so called Bentley, ferrari, Lamborghini and even private jets.
If you're still of the opinion that a tattoo is a scratch then you're myopic in your thinking. Tattoo is as old as man because it started from time immemorial, people brand their family members for identity purpose. In our centuries tattoos only metamorphosised into what it is today. It's either you embrace the change or you HUSH
