Gigi de Lana answers to bashing for getting tattoos
Gigi addressed the issue on Sunday in a lengthy message on her account. Her statement started:
“Just because I got a tattoo, again, many people have judged my skin, passion, and heart. Some of them have good comments. But most of them are [saying I’m] dirty now.”
Gigi then asked the people to rethink their perceptions. The singer further stressed the importance of not judging people, especially when unaware of their narrative.
“Please, don’t judge. Lalo na, you will never know the real whole story behind it. I’m still me, but not the facade girl before.”
Moreover, Gigi added that having tattoos do not mean becoming a “bad person.” She said she is just different now, hailing her improvement as a stronger, bolder, and more confident individual. She also emphasized how she tries to grow as much as she can every day.
At the end of her post, Gigi encouraged her followers to embrace positivity. “Let’s love one another. Stop controlling things that you cannot control,” she concluded.
