who have several designs on various parts of their bodies are wallowing
in regrets and that is the case of popular actress, Kemi Afolabi.
According to her, she tattooed her body out of youthful
exuberance,”That was youthful exuberance. I got the tattoo before I
became an actress.
When I was in UNILAG, there was a woman who owned a
boutique in school and she wanted me to be the face of the boutique. We
were taking pictures when a guy that had a tattoo shop there told me
that if I had a tiny tattoo somewhere on my body, it would fit me
especially if I wore a spaghetti top. That was when I did it and I
regret it now”, she plainly admitted.
When
asked why regrets it, the light skinned Yoruba actress said, “it is
because I am not that type of person. I do not really like it but I was
too naïve then. I am very lucky about where it is. If it was on my hand,
it would show every day but as it is on my chest, it is not too
conspicuous. It is not every time that I open my chest and I am very
lucky because most times when I am acting, the clothes I wear cover it
up. It is quite tiny so even if I have to show some flesh, it can be
concealed.”
She
has also considered removing it,”Yes I have but someone told me that
the mark would never go. They say that it would only be covered and what
they told me was not too encouraging, so I just left it.”
