Singer Rahmah Pinky has spoken out against the practice of removing tattoos from a Muslim’s body before burial, saying she does not want anyone to remove hers when she dies.
Pinky, who has several tattoos on her body, made the remarks while discussing her decision to get inked and the meaning behind some of her tattoos. She insisted that her tattoos should remain on her body even after her death, saying she will personally answer to Allah for her choices.
“These things Muslims say that they scrap off your tattoos when you die, don’t you dare remove mine. Leave them and I’ll face Allah and answer myself,” Pinky said.
The singer also dismissed the idea that she owes anyone an explanation for choosing to tattoo her body, noting that each of her tattoos carries a personal meaning.
“I have over like 12 tattoos on my body and each has a meaning,” she said, while showing off one depicting a cracked egg, which she explained represents how delicate she is.
