    His parents were missionaries. How is painting the whole body beautiful? It looks disgusting.

    Lots of American kids raised outside the US turn spoiled Brats when they go back to the US. So bad.

    Well don't judge people's children Kenya and Guest one. If yours turned out "fine" (whatever the heck fine means to you) piga magoti na ushukuru God.

    I am not judging him but call me old school. A body full of graffiti and mural.

    That's art. He is expressing himself in a free world. Nothing wrong with that. But like you said. You wouldn't ever understand.

    @Sungura, I love your statement which is so true: "if yours turned fine, shukuru mungu".
