After many years of bucking against tattoos and their supposed
interpretations, Africans are beginning to accept this body art culture.
They say whatever image you show to use as you body
art symbol, usually has its own meaning, but people have been seen
spotting all kinds ranging from bible scriptures to Chinese qoutes.
This
fashion culture has been taken to the next level as some couples have
abandoned rings and resorted to using tattoos as their show of
commitment.
When Behati Prinsloo revealed
her engagement tattoo — three small dots that run vertically down her
ring finger — we weren't sure of what to think about it. Frankly, how
many girls will willingly give up jewelry for a love tat? Trust naija
girls.
Anyway, Prinsloo admitted to setting aside
her diamond in order to get inked with husband Adam Levine. On second
thought, this practise can be symbolized as a show of permanence for the
couple, and its actually very sweet.
Although this culture is yet to be adopted in Nigeria, we know its just a matter of time before, we take over. As usual.
We have compiled a few pictures of these tattoos. View in gallery.
