Putting Tattoo On Skin. Is It Cultural In Nigeria? by Wasbayd: 4:48pm On Jul 02, 2012
Recently I noticed a tattoo on the body of a friend who is a strong christian. I asked how about it and was told the tattoo were marked by the parents who are not christians. It bothers me and so I enquired more from an old lady of about 80 years of age. She simply shew me her arm. An eagle tattoed boldly on it.

Should I then believe tattoo marking on skin is part of our culture and tradition in Nigeria?

For me I believe putting tattoo on skin is not a good thing and not cultural. Basic!
