Kenyans on social media were shocked after a single mother by the name Elena tattooed her son’s name on her thigh. She said the tattoo is a strong way of showing how much she loves her son. The photo quickly spread online and attracted many reactions from users.
In a statement, the woman explained that as a mother, she must openly show her love for her son more than anything else.
She said what matters most to her is making sure her 16-year-old son feels that he has a loving and caring mother who always supports him in life.
She further added that she plans to continue adding more tattoos on her body. She also said that next time, she will go back to the tattoo artist and ask him to write her son’s name again on the other thigh, as a continued symbol of her love.
However, Kenyans on social media had mixed reactions. Some people said the gesture was heartwarming and showed true motherly love. They praised her for being open and expressive about her feelings toward her child.
On the other hand, some people felt the act was unnecessary and even disgusting, saying love can be shown in better ways. The debate continues online as many Kenyans are still talking about the viral photo and sharing their opinions.
