Why don't nigerians wear tattoos?
Like its so rare, maybe the ratio of tattooed nigerians Are 1:500

why is dis so?
PS: Am nigerian and tattooed.

First what will you tell your parents? Ur mother especially?

and then what will you tell your pastor when u enter church with tattoos? Am sure during communions they will just pass u.

And who will employ you when you go to an interview with tattoos? Just prepare for entrepreneurship.

And finally who will hand over his daughter to you for marriage when you come over with tattoos?

My guy the answers are all around you, but feel free to go and draw some, I for one think it's dope..............#dope on other people's body

Nigerians are very religious people.

I heard biblically, it's a sin to draw on the skin.

It most times has absolutely nothing to do with religion or culture. Most of us just don't fancy the idea.

LadyMercedes:
I've got 3 tattoos... one on my inner wrist, one on my shoulder, and one at the back of my neck. And I still intend to have, at least, 7 more.

What would my parents say? It doesn't matter. What's done, is done. Complaining won't make the tattoos disappear.

What would my pastor say? I don't give a flying f*ck! If "God" is against tattoos, he shouldn't give artists the talent to draw them.

Who will employ me? I'm not stupid enough to go for a job interview, with my tattoos on full display. It's called Common Sense.

And my in-laws? Well, if their son has no problem with my tattoos, then I could care less what they think.

(1) I'm an adult, no more kid... my parents has done their own part in my life, whatever I do, I'm entitled to it

(2) I owe nobody any obligation, he is my pastor so what? is he God? don't I have right to do what pleases me?

(3) hey! hold it, I'm working, I've tattoos, my skin is well inked, its not my body its what I've to offer

(4) rubbish... let them chop their daughter... You are leaving you life not their life... get it


no answer bro! do what that pleases you, don't mind the society

(1)making wrong decisions as getting tattoos would only paint the picture of your parents not having done a good job in raising you and giving you the right value system. You might be an adult but your choices does reflect your upbringing!

(2) and somewhere in the bible God made mention of liking tattoos? I am not a saint but even I know that it is stated that your body is the temple of God! I believe you owe him that obligation

(3)saying u are working isn't enough, what sort of job are u on, because a reasonable job wouldn't allow for an employee with tattoos, as for what you can offer, your tattoos would only limit the chances you could get to show what you could offer!

(4) then feel free to live that life alone, but assuming you eventually get kids, what advice would you be able to render to your children when a father figure has tattoos on him.

Mr, I will always have a reasonable reply for every excuse you come up with, we could do this all day and you would still be wrong at the end
