Phyna unveils a new tattoo, explaining its deep emotional meaning, shortly after dropping her family name
Reality star Phyna opens up about her personal challenges and the significance behind her new tattoo, shortly after revealing her decision to drop her family name.
The former BBNaija housemate had sparked a variety of reactions when she announced her choice to leave behind her family surname. She later shared a glimpse of her new tattoo—a ‘Phoenix’ design—and took to social media to explain what it truly represents.
Phyna emphasized that the tattoo is not just an aesthetic choice, but a powerful symbol of her life’s journey. “This phoenix on my back is more than just ink; it’s a reflection of everything I’ve endured. It stands for resilience, strength, and transformation—like the fire I walked through and the wings I’ve earned. Life tried to break me, but like the phoenix, I chose to rise, rebuild, and soar higher than before,” she explained.
She went on to describe how every detail of the design—each flame, feather, and stroke—tells the story of her rebirth. It serves as a constant reminder that no matter how many setbacks she faces, she has the strength to rise again, stronger and wiser each time.
For Phyna, this tattoo is more than just artwork—it’s a tribute to her past, a celebration of her present, and a symbol of the endless potential she sees for her future. “I am my own phoenix,” she concluded.
