Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has revealed how her tattoo was influenced by the agony of a broken heart.
She revealed that because she didn’t want to openly express her anguish in a tattoo parlor, she had to fly the artist from Los Angeles to her home in Lagos.
Savage revealed that the tattoo artist was concerned and that the session was bloody in a recent interview with media personality Katy Igwe.
“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 make sure that I was in a comfortable place.
“My tattoo artist walked in and was like, ‘What are you doing?… Is that going to come off?’ He he started tattoo 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, “Last two years was a very hard time. The relationship I experienced was crazy. I’m so happy I’m out of that relationship.”
