Tonto Dikeh, the Nollywood actress, has announced her decision to keep her tattoos, even after recommitting herself to her Christian faith.

Since reconnecting with her faith, Tonto has been open about her spiritual journey, sharing videos of her prayers and speaking in tongues, showing the changes in her life.

During an interaction with a fan online, she was asked if she would consider removing her tattoos now that she has renewed her faith.

Tonto explained that although she once thought about removing them, she does not want to risk harming her skin with laser procedures.

She added that her spiritual beliefs do not require her to erase the tattoos, stating that her faith is not affected by the ink on her body.

“Mama, if it was possible to take off tattoos, would you have taken yours off?” the fan asked.

“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.”
she responded.

The mother of one also recently announced that she will be more careful about the people and brands she works with this year.

She stated that respect is essential and that she will not promote or support anyone who shows hostility or disrespect toward her, her faith, or her spiritual leaders.

Dikeh also said that she will avoid being part of projects or collaborations that do not value her contributions or protect her work.
