Mid-size designs like forearm pieces or shoulder tattoos range between Ksh 5,000–Ksh 12,000, depending on complexity and shading.

Tattoo Aftercare Tips
Caring for your tattoo properly after your session is just as important as choosing the right artist. Good tattoo aftercare ensures vibrant healing, prevents infections, and maintains the sharpness of your design. Here’s a comprehensive tattoo aftercare routine specifically tailored for our Kenyan climate and your active lifestyle:
Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours)
- Your artist will apply a medical-grade second skin film immediately after tattooing. This thin, transparent adhesive layer helps seal the tattoo and protects it from dirt, bacteria, and moisture during the first critical hours.
- Leave the second skin on for up to 24–48 hours, depending on your artist’s instructions.
- When removing it, wash your hands and peel it off gently in the shower under warm water to reduce irritation.
- Clean the area with mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap and pat dry with a clean towel.
Healing Care (Day 2 to Day 14)
- Once the second skin is removed, continue cleaning your tattoo twice a day.
- Apply a thin layer of our Tattoo Lust Healing Ointment, which is specially formulated to soothe inflammation, prevent infection, and accelerate healing. Available exclusively at our studio.
- Keep the area moisturized and avoid over-applying any product, as it may clog pores.
- Wear breathable, loose-fitting clothing over the tattooed area.
Long-Term Maintenance (After Week 2)
- As your skin continues to regenerate, use a gentle, unscented lotion to keep the area hydrated.
- Always use a high-SPF sunscreen on exposed tattoos when outdoors to prevent fading.
- For vibrant ink longevity, avoid prolonged sun exposure and abrasive scrubbing.
What to Avoid
- No direct sun exposure. UV rays can fade fresh tattoos quickly.
- No swimming or soaking in pools, bathtubs, or hot tubs.
- No scratching or peeling. Let any scabs or flakes fall off naturally.
- No tight or abrasive clothing over the tattoo.
When to Seek Help
If you experience excessive redness, swelling, a foul odor, or pus-like discharge, contact us or a healthcare professional immediately.
