Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has addressed questions surrounding her tattoos following her renewed commitment to her Christian faith. The actress made it clear that she has no plans to remove the tattoos on her body despite her spiritual transformation.
Since recommitting her life to Christ, Tonto has frequently shared clips from her prayer sessions online, including moments of worship and speaking in tongues, as she openly embraces her new journey of faith.
During one of such interactions, a follower asked whether she would consider removing her tattoos now that she has become a born-again Christian.
Responding to the question, the actress explained that although she has thought about removing the tattoos, she is concerned about the possible damage the process could cause to her skin. She further noted that her faith is not defined by body art, adding that Jesus is not concerned about the ink on her skin a statement that has since generated mixed reactions online.
Tonto Dikeh said:
“Yes love, I would have, but I’m stuck with them and I ain’t doing no laser to spoil my good skin. And the good thing is Jesus don’t care.”
