Durban — Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) star Jojo Robinson often finds herself at the mercy of negative comments regarding her heavily-tattoed body.
The reality TV star is known for her body tattoos that cover most of her body. Earlier this year, she said that 70% of her body is covered in tattoos and that she was planning on having tattoos all over her body, except on her face, TimesLIVE reported.
She recently took to Instagram and uploaded a bikini snap where a lot of her tattoos were on show. She said she faces a lot scrutiny for being so heavily tattooed and but she continues to live her life.
“You’re not really free until you are free from trying to please everybody. Judgment from others is not your burden to carry. Being heavily tattooed like this, I find myself constantly at the scrutiny of people who know nothing about me.. But at the end of the day.. It’s not my business to care,” she said.
It is my business to continue to live a life filled with all the magical things I choose to do with it.. as long as I hurt no one in my journey, what does it really matter what I do. Being free of caring is the reason I find rainbows in everything.. because I am HAPPY.. and happiness is what your Percieve it to be. Also, tattoos make me happy. ” she added.

Jojo’s love and passion for tattoos is clear to see and she oftens posts updates of some of her ink jobs to her Instagram page. For her latest tattoo update, she uploaded a picture of her completed leg piece and explained that the piece took over a year to complete in full.
“Heres the final leg tattoo!!! I finally got there after months of consistent pain and just oushing through it all.. . It’s taken us over a year to complete this leg.”
“This style of tattoo is so invassive to the skin, and it takes double, if not triple, the time my previous leg took. The healing is harder and longer, the actually tattooing is so much more painful. But it’s exactly what I wanted it to be.”
