Popular Nigerian veteran actor, Richard Mofe Damijo popularly known as RMD, who will be turning 60 in a few weeks, has declared his love for tattoos and earrings by sharing pictures of himself adorned in two earrings and a tattoo on his triceps.

The actor who was a former commissioner of culture and tourism in Delta state revealed that he was about getting his ears pierced before he turned 50 but was concerned about what Delta state people would regard an earring-wearing commissioner.

Earlier last week, when he first shared a picture of his inked triceps with a daunting caption that dared people uncomfortable with his new look to “come and beat him” in his house.

10 years after, he is still in love with earrings and finally got one or two for himself.

While sharing his newfound beauties on all his social media handles, he wrote; “I’ve always wanted to wear an earring for some time now. I personally think they are so cool if you find the right one.

When I was turning 50 I had threatened to wear one but I wasn’t too sure how the people of Delta state would feel about an earring-wearing commissioner.

10 years later I still want to wear it. I will.

I will be 60 in a few weeks and have grown wings.

I’m in my house if you have a problem, you know where to find me.”

As is expected, some fans have expressed diverse reactions as a part of the fans have shown their disappointment over his newest obsession as they declared him irresponsible for wearing an earring and getting himself inked while some other groups of fans have declared their support for him hinting that he should go ahead and pursue happiness in whatever way he dims possible hence he is not hurting others.
