Nigerian reality TV star and actress Phyna, whose real name is Ijeoma Josephina, recently got her first tattoo.

Phyna, who has been caught up in a web of drama online and recently ushered out of a restaurant over her dressing, fulfilled her desire to get a tattoo.

Taking to social media, Phyna shared a video of herself at a tattoo parlour that captured the process.

She seemed excited and satisfied. Dedicating a lengthy caption to the post, Phyna explained that her tattoo which is a phoenix signifies strength and the ability to soar despite difficult circumstances. In her words:

“This phoenix on my back isn’t just ink; it’s a testament to my journey. It symbolizes resilience, strength, and transformation—the fire I walked through and the wings I earned. Life tried to break me, but like the phoenix, I chose to rise, to rebuild, and to soar higher than before.”

“Every flame, every feather, every stroke of this design tells a story of rebirth, reminding me that no matter how many times I fall, I can always rise again—stronger, wiser, and more powerful.”

This comes after Phyna opened up on her strained relationship with her family. She publicly dropped her family surname, revealing deep-seated uncertainties about her origins. Phyna wrote:

“I am publicly dropping my family surname, Otabor. It has been proven that I have no family, and nobody knows how I came about. I’m still searching for answers, though. It’s been rough with me lately.

”I’m in a place where I can’t even describe how I feel or what to call what I’m going through right now. Growing up and the way I was tossed around relatives, I should have suspected, but I guess I was too young. Omo, my head wan tear!”
