During an interaction with a fan online, she was asked if she would consider removing her tattoos now that she has renewed her faith.

She added that her spiritual beliefs do not require her to erase the tattoos, stating that her faith is not affected by the ink on her body.
“Mama, if it was possible to take off tattoos, would you have taken yours off?” the fan asked.
“Yes, love, I would have, but I’m stuck with them and I ain’t doing no laser to spoil my good skin. And the good thing is Jesus don’t care.” she responded.
