Sbahle Mpisane addresses tattooing of the body

Sbahle Mpisane opens up on how she transitioned from disliking tattoos to covering her body with ink.

Taking to social media, the South African fitness bunnie explained she never liked inking her body.


“I use to be against tattoos and judged people with tattoos for the longest of times 😅 I’d even verbally state that they looked dirty because I was grown up to see ink art as dirt,” she wrote.

However, Sbahle had no choice after her car accident which left scars on her body.

“After my car accident, I had scars all over my body and they made me feel dirty and I was like #WTF 🙄 My anger was sky high because the scars were basically tattoos that i didn’t ask for.”

“To make life easy for thy self, I decided to get inked so i can cover my scars bits by bits to clean the dirt. My mum supported my art because she knew that it would give me the peace I needed and boost my dead confidence at the time.”

She also addressed people who might want to criticise her for tattoing her skin.

“A friend of mine with one small tattoo advised me recently to not get a sleeve tattoo to cover my arm scar that many individuals kept staring at (out of curiosity). I laughed at her and said “we are equal sinners doll face, u murdered one individual and I bombed a house hold” (I don’t want to laugh again ngoba izinja ziyafana) 😅 bible judge me but I had to cover ALL my scars and I’m happy they are not at view for people to view or question me!!!”
