Speaking with Billboard on the red carpet of the 67th Grammy Awards, the 30-year-old said he loves to feel comfortable with himself.

“This is how I feel now. I love to feel comfortable in myself, in the things that I feel are good for me, not even about anybody.

“I might wake up tomorrow and you guys may not see any tattoo on my face,” he said.

The 67th Grammys, held on Sunday in Los Angeles, was Asake’s first. The singer was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category, which his compatriot, Tems, won for her song ‘Love Me Jeje.’

Explaining his outfit to his interviewers, Asake said he was in his “military era” and that he likes to dress exactly how he feels.

Asake is rumoured to have parted ways with Olamide’s record label YBNL.

Leandro de Souza has so far undergone two laser sessions as part of the process to eliminate over two decades worth of tattoos.

The 35-year-old photographer, who lives in the Brazilian border city of Bagé next to Uruguay, made the decision to erase more than 170 tattoos after welcoming evangelicalism into his life.

‘I did the first one when I was 13,’ de Souza told Brazilian online news outlet G1. ‘The first ones were very much about the idolatry of the time.’

The tattoos were inspired by favorite rock banks of the moment – Nirvana, Guns N’ Roses, and Metallica.

De Souza’s went down a dark path 10 years ago when he divorced his wife.

The fallout of splitting away from the mother of his 10-year-old son resulted in a nine-year period in which he dabbled with cocaine for the very first time and then in mixed ecstasy, LSD, and booze.

‘I couldn’t stand the life I was living anymore,’ he said. ‘I was an attraction at (events I attended) and it felt like a circus animal.’

De Souza’s found a new outlook on life when he visited a shelter, where he was introduced to evangelism.’The first step in everything in life is to accept that you can’t do it alone, that you are an addict, that you are a drug addict,’ de Souza said.

‘And I managed to do that, I entered the municipal shelter in Bagé. Within a week, there was a lady who referred me and started to evangelize me.’

De Souza still has to undergo six more sessions, which are scheduled every three months and last 30 to 40 minutes.

‘It hurts a lot more than doing it,’ he said. ‘It hurts three times more than doing it. Even with anaesthesia, the process is very painful.’

Xabi Alonso’s side are unbeaten across all competitions this season and could still win the treble after reaching the Europa League final on Thursday.

Leverkusen stretched their unbeaten run this season to 49 matches after coming from behind to draw 2-2 with Roma on Thursday, for a 4-2 aggregate win.

Their feat surpasses Benfica’s long-standing European record, set between 1963 and 1965.

Leverkusen described the tattoos offer as “a special action at the end of a special season”.

“Bayer 04 are offering fans, until the end of the season, the opportunity to choose one of the many Bayer 04 tattoos for free.

“Book your appointment now to eternalise this unique season on your skin.”

After sealing their first-ever Bundesliga title, Leverkusen are also through to the German Cup final – where they will face Kaiserslautern.

Additionally, the GES has expressed deep concern regarding the issues of teenage pregnancies and cohabitation, highlighting their detrimental impact on students’ educational pursuits, particularly girls.

Priscilla Christabel Eshun, the Central Regional Girls Education Officer of the GES, remarked with astonishment that some young students had conspicuous tattoos with unusual names and meanings.

These findings were gathered during the GES’s visits to certain districts in the Central Region as part of its ‘Life Skills Programme’ designed to empower students.

The districts visited encompass Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam, Assin South, Ekumfi, Upper Denkyira West, Twifo-Hemang- Lower-Denkyira West, and the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem Municipality.

Eshun presented these findings at the Second Quarter Sub-Implementing Partners (IPs) Review Meeting on sexual and gender-based violence. The meeting was facilitated by the Regional Coordinating Council with backing from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

Eshun stated: “In one of the schools we visited, a young girl had bleached her skin to the point where it was peeling off and emitting an unpleasant smell. We also observed students with multiple piercings in their ears.

“This has become a fashion trend, and many girls are engaging in it without considering the potential health, employment, and other socio-economic consequences.”

She also disclosed that many boys had left school for a variety of reasons and were operating tricycles (Aboboyaa or Pragyia). Investigations indicated that many young girls were associating with these boys for financial aid.

“Regrettably, many girls are enticed into such relationships for financial gain, using the money to purchase sanitary pads and other personal items,” Eshun revealed.

She underscored that the GES forbids tattooing, multiple piercing, and skin bleaching as outlined in its harmonised Code of Conduct for students in pre-tertiary schools.

She elaborated that the GES Code of Conduct underscores the requirement for students to dress neatly, adhere to the prescribed dress code and footwear consistently, and avoid accessories such as chains, bangles, caps, and bracelets.

She added that, spectacles are only allowed with a valid medical prescription and modifications to school uniforms or dresses are not permitted.

“Students shall not wear chains, bangles, caps, or braces. Wearing of spectacles shall require a medical prescription.

“No alterations to school uniforms or dress shall be allowed. Possession or use of un-prescribed attire by a student is an offence,” Eshun explained.

She noted that these guidelines also pertain to personal grooming, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a decent haircut as defined by school authorities.

According to her, clean, neat, and modest hair is encouraged, with a focus on avoiding extreme styles and colours.

For male students, she said a styled haircut and a clean-shaven beard are acceptable.

“Students should have a decent haircut as prescribed by the school authorities. Hair should be clean, neat, and modest, and avoid extremes in styles and colour. Men’s hair should be neatly struck and beard clean-shaven.
