Boity gets some new ink & the streets have lost their mind
Boity had the streets in all kinds of moods this week when she posted a picture of her new tat, with fans split between being impressed and very confused.
The TV star got the social media yard talking when she showed off the ink, a dove under the words "Namaste: The God in me bows to the God in you."
Obsessed with my new ink. 😍 pic.twitter.com/80hG3ijEtB

The post drew thousands of likes and retweets, but also started a conversation larger than FNB Stadium.
Real or fake? Hers or nah?
Before the streets got into what it all means, they had a fierce debate about whether that arm even belongs to Boity and if it was temporary.
They look at everything from the way the ink dried to the colour of her forearm.
I already see people going to get tatoos just because a celeb did it. Only to find the celeb had a temporary one and you are stuck with a permanent one 😂😂 shame pic.twitter.com/tnLMajt6Vi

What does it all mean?
That quote also tripped people up. It was like a higher grade English class and had the masses grabbing paper to break it down slowly.
I got lost trying to understand the God in me bows to the God in you... Like kanjani ?? 💭💭💭 pic.twitter.com/mq4dKx1dkY

But what about her job?
Others were just worried she might never get another job where they have strong policies against tattoos.
