Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has shared how the pain of a heartbreak inspired her tattoo.
She shared that she had to fly in the tattoo artist from Los Angeles to her house in Lagos because she didn’t want to express her pain publicly in a tattoo parlour.
In a recent interview with media personality Katy Igwe, Savage disclosed that the session was bloody and the tattoo artist was worried.
“I flew in my tattoo artist from LA to Nigeria. And I did it [the tattoo] in my room. So I was in an environment where I was comfortable. When you are in a tattoo parlour, sometimes a lot of people are working, and then you are going through that pain. I wanted to ensure that I was in a comfortable position.
“My tattoo artist walked in and was like, ‘What are you doing?… Is that going to come off?’ He started tattooing my body, there was blood everywhere. So he was more concerned for me, like, ‘What are you trying to do?’
“I did that [the tattoo] from the pain I felt from a heartbreak. I just wanted to do something to scream,” she explained.
Savage added, “The Last two years were a very hard time. The relationship I experienced was crazy. I’m so happy I’m out of that relationship.”
