Ghanaian media personality Pere Egbi has set social media ablaze after declaring that pastors getting tattoos is not wrong, challenging traditional views and igniting heated debates online.
Speaking passionately, Pere argued that body art doesn’t diminish a pastor’s calling or spiritual authority, saying that personal expression and faith can coexist. “Your skin doesn’t define your spirit,” he reportedly said, sparking both praise and backlash from followers, religious leaders, and curious netizens.
The statement has unleashed a flood of reactions across platforms. Supporters call it progressive and liberating, while critics argue that tattoos may conflict with cultural and religious expectations. Hashtags questioning faith, freedom of expression, and tradition have dominated social media threads in the hours following Pere’s comments.
Whether seen as a bold affirmation of individuality or a controversial challenge to norms, Pere Egbi’s remark has reignited a nationwide conversation: can modern pastors embrace tattoos without losing respect?
