Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has recently disclosed the story behind her latest tattoo, revealing that it was born from the pain of a past heartbreak. In an interview with Katy Igwe, Savage explained the lengths she went to ensure a private and comfortable experience, flying in a tattoo artist from Los Angeles to her home in Lagos.
Savage expressed her desire to avoid the public setting of a tattoo parlor while processing her emotional pain. She recounted the intense session, noting that the artist was concerned by the amount of blood and her apparent distress.
The singer admitted that the tattoo served as an outlet for the overwhelming emotions she experienced during a difficult relationship. “Last two years was a very hard time,” Savage stated. “The relationship I experienced was crazy. I’m so happy I’m out of that relationship.” The tattoo, therefore, represents a permanent reminder of a painful period and her subsequent journey towards healing.
