Many celebrities and ordinary people love inking their bodies with beautiful tattoos. Most times, these tattoos have deep meanings and tell stories about their life or personalities.

Actor Boris Kodjoe is one of such people and recently inked a new tattoo on his shoulder. The tattoo features a black star at its center and multiple faces and eyes surrounding it.

The tattoo has an ancient African vibe to it, with the faces on it resembling those from ancestral deities of centuries past. Kodjoe tagged Poncho the Artist and Laolu to the post, which shows they were the men behind his tattoo.

In his caption to the post, he did his best to explain the meaning behind the tattoo, which he named "Sesa Wa Suban." He wrote:
