In a recent interview on Kessben Radio, Eagle Prophet, as he is popularly called, established that his tattoos, numbering about seven, were not for fashion.
He claimed that each one of the seven seen across the prophet's chest, sleeve and other parts of his body had a deeper spiritual meaning.
Eagle Prophet gained huge traction online for his tattoos after his appearance at Reverend Obofour's mother's funeral.
He arrived in an outfit boldly showcasing a humongous eagle wing inked on his chest.
According to Eagle Prophet, he got his tattoos after he ventured into active ministry.
Speaking to Kessben FM, Eagle Prophet weighed in on the negative connotations about tattoos, especially in Ghana's Christian community, saying,
"There are scriptures people quote to condemn our tattoos...As a prophet, I don't do anything just for doing sake. Everything I do, there's a conviction and a saying before I act," Eagle Prophet said.
"I have my own prophetic perception of whatever I have done. Per my direction, there are some kinds of people I have to meet. And those people have to meet their own when they see me to be comfortable, so at the end of the day I can win them for Christ," he added.
Tattoos are frowned upon by many Christian sects.
