The controversial decision to get a tattoo on his arm, featuring John 3:16 in Roman numerals, has sparked a debate among Christians. Despite the criticism, Okonkwo remains firm in his belief that tattoos are not inherently sinful.
In an interview with TVC, he emphasized that tattoos have been a part of human culture for centuries, not just in Nigeria but globally.

Additionally, Okonkwo cited Revelation 19:16, where the name "King of kings and Lord of lords" is inscribed on Christ's robe and thigh, further supporting his argument that inked symbols can hold deep spiritual significance.
