Factors that Influence Laser Tattoo Removal

How Tattoo Ink Color Affects Laser Tattoo Removal 🎨⚡

Laser tattoo removal works by sending focused light energy into the skin. Each ink color absorbs light differently — and that determines how easily it breaks down.

Black Ink – Easiest to Remove ✅
– Absorbs all laser wavelengths
– Breaks down quickly and evenly
– Requires fewer sessions
→ This is why black tattoos fade the fastest.
Dark Blue & Dark Brown – Very Responsive 👍
– Absorb laser energy well
– Often removed almost as easily as black
– May need slightly more sessions
Red & Orange Ink – Moderate Difficulty ⚖️
– Respond well to specific laser wavelengths
– Usually removable with good results
– May take additional sessions compared to black ink
Green Ink – More Challenging ❗
– Reflects many laser wavelengths
– Needs specialized lasers
– Requires more sessions and patience
Yellow, Light Blue & White – Hardest to Remove 🚧
– Reflect laser light instead of absorbing it
– Break down slowly
– White ink may darken temporarily before fading
⚠️ Complete removal is not always guaranteed for these colors.
Multicolored Tattoos – Most Complex 🎭
– Each color requires a different laser setting
– Treatment takes longer
– Session count varies per color

Why Color Matters in Laser Tattoo Removal

Determines laser wavelength used
Affects number of sessions needed
Influences overall cost and treatment time
Impacts how complete the removal can be

How Skin Tone Affects Laser Tattoo Removal 🧑🏽‍🦱⚡

Laser tattoo removal works by targeting tattoo ink with light energy. But skin also contains melanin, which absorbs laser energy too — and the amount of melanin varies by skin tone.

Lighter Skin Tones – Faster & Easier Removal
– Lower melanin levels
– Laser focuses more directly on tattoo ink
– Higher laser intensity can be used safely
– Fewer sessions usually required
– Lower risk of pigmentation changes
Medium Skin Tones – Balanced Approach
– Moderate melanin levels
– Requires adjusted laser settings
– Effective results with proper spacing
– Slightly more sessions than lighter skin tones
Darker Skin Tones – Extra Care Needed
– Higher melanin absorbs more laser energy
– Increased risk of:
→ Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
→ Hypopigmentation (light spots)
– Burns if treated incorrectly
– Laser intensity must be lower
– More sessions are often needed
⚠️ This does NOT mean laser tattoo removal can’t be done — it just must be done by an experienced professional.

Why Skin Tone Changes the Treatment Plan

Determines laser wavelength and energy level
Affects number of sessions needed
Influences treatment spacing
Impacts aftercare requirements

How the Type of Laser Used Affects Laser Tattoo Removal ⚡

Laser tattoo removal works by delivering light energy that targets tattoo ink, breaking it into tiny particles that the body’s immune system can remove. The laser technology determines how well this happens.

Q-Switched Lasers – The Industry Standard 🔥
– Examples: Q-Switched Nd:YAG, Ruby, Alexandrite
✔ Deliver high energy in short pulses
✔ Effective for many ink colors
✔ Safe when used correctly
✔ Requires multiple sessions
– Best for:
→ Black and dark-colored tattoos
→ Clients on a budget
→ Gradual fading over time
Picosecond Lasers – Advanced Technology 🚀
– Examples: PicoSure, PicoWay
✔ Ultra-short pulses (trillionths of a second)
✔ Shatter ink into much smaller particles
✔ Faster fading with fewer sessions
✔ More effective on stubborn colors (green, blue)
✔ Lower risk of skin damage
– Best for:
→ Multicolored tattoos
→ Resistant or professional tattoos
→ Clients wanting faster results
Laser Wavelengths – Why They Matter 🎯
– Different ink colors absorb different wavelengths:
→ 1064 nm: Black, dark blue (safest for darker skin tones)
→ 532 nm: Red, orange, yellow
→ 755 nm: Green, blue
→ 694 nm: Blue, green
At Rebel Inks Tattoos, Tattoo Removal, and Body Piercings Parlour we offer multiple wavelengths which has helped us achieve better overall results.
Skin Tone & Laser Compatibility
– Certain lasers are safer for darker skin tones
– Nd:YAG (1064 nm) penetrates deeper and avoids melanin
– Wrong laser choice increases risk of burns and pigmentation changes
Number of Sessions & Results
✔ Advanced lasers = fewer sessions
✔ Better ink fragmentation = faster immune clearance
✔ Less damage to surrounding skin
However, no laser guarantees one-session removal.

Why the Right Laser Makes All the Difference

Faster fading
Better color clearance
Safer for all skin tones
Improved client comfort
More predictable outcomes

How Tattoo Age Affects Laser Tattoo Removal ⏳⚡

Laser tattoo removal works by breaking tattoo ink into tiny particles that your immune system gradually clears away. The age of the tattoo determines how dense and stable that ink still is.

Older Tattoos – Easier to Remove
– Ink has already naturally broken down over time
– Immune system has partially faded the tattoo
– Ink particles are smaller and less compact
– Requires fewer laser sessions
→ Tattoos that are 5–10+ years old often respond faster.
New Tattoos – More Challenging
– Ink is fresh, dense, and tightly packed
– Particles are larger and harder to break apart
– More laser energy and more sessions are needed
⚠️ A tattoo must be fully healed (usually 6–8 weeks) before laser removal can begin.
Fading Before Removal Helps
– If a tattoo has:
→ Faded naturally
→ Been exposed to sun over time
→ Lost sharp edges
…it usually responds better to laser treatment.
Professional vs Amateur (Linked to Age)
– Older professional tattoos: Still easier than fresh ones, but may need more sessions
– Older amateur tattoos: Often fade very quickly due to uneven ink depth
Age Affects Session Count & Cost
– Older tattoos = fewer sessions = lower overall cost
– New tattoos = longer treatment plan

How Ink Depth & Tattoo Technique Affect Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal works by sending light energy through the skin to target ink particles. The deeper and more evenly the ink is placed, the harder it is to remove.

Professional Tattoos – Deeper & More Even
– Ink is placed deeper in the dermis
– Application is consistent and dense
– Ink particles are tightly packed
– Requires more sessions to fully break down
→ High-quality professional tattoos usually take the longest to remove.
Amateur Tattoos – Shallower & Uneven
– Ink depth varies
– Often placed closer to the surface
– Ink density is inconsistent
– Laser breaks the ink more easily
– Fades faster with fewer sessions
Overworked Skin & Heavy Saturation
– Excessive needle passes force ink deeper
– Causes scarring or thickened skin
– Scar tissue reflects laser energy
– Slows ink breakdown
⚠️ Scarred tattoos need lower laser settings and extra sessions.
Line Work vs Shading
– Bold line work: Dense ink, harder to remove
– Soft shading & greywash: Less ink, fades faster
– Fine-line tattoos usually respond quicker
Ink Layering & Cover-Up Tattoos
– Multiple ink layers increase density
– Cover-ups often contain darker, heavier ink
– Requires significantly more sessions

Why Ink Depth & Technique Matter

Determines how much laser energy is needed
Affects number of sessions
Influences risk of scarring and pigment changes
Impacts overall removal time and cost

How Tattoo Size Affects Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal works by breaking ink into tiny particles that your immune system clears away. The larger the tattoo, the more ink your body has to process.

Small Tattoos – Faster Results
– Less ink overall
– Fewer laser pulses required
– Body clears ink more easily
– Usually need fewer sessions
→ Ideal for quick fading or complete removal.
Medium-Sized Tattoos – Moderate Treatment
– More ink than small tattoos
– Balanced session count
– Results depend on ink density and color
Large Tattoos – More Time & Sessions
– High ink volume
– Longer treatment sessions
– Requires more laser passes
– More sessions spaced over time
⚠️ Removing large tattoos too aggressively can increase risk of skin damage.
Size vs Ink Density
-Size alone isn’t everything:
– A small but heavily saturated tattoo may take longer than a larger, lightly shaded one
– Dense colors and thick line work add to session count
Body’s Immune System Load
– Large tattoos release more ink particles per session
– Sessions may be spaced further apart to allow proper clearance
– Hydration, fitness, and healthy circulation help

How Tattoo Location on the Body Affects Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal breaks ink into tiny particles that are cleared away by your immune system. Areas with better circulation remove ink faster than areas with poor blood flow.

Areas That Fade Faster
– These areas have strong blood flow and active lymphatic systems:
→ Chest
→ Upper back
→ Neck
→ Face
→ Upper arms
→ Shoulders
👉 Tattoos closer to the heart usually respond better and need fewer sessions.
Areas That Fade Slower
– These areas have weaker circulation:
→ Hands and fingers
→ Feet and toes
→ Ankles
→ Lower legs (especially shins)
→ Wrists
⚠️ Tattoos on extremities often require more sessions and longer treatment timelines.
Skin Thickness Matters
– Thicker skin can hold ink deeper
– Thinner skin may require gentler laser settings
– Sensitive areas need careful treatment to avoid scarring
Movement & Healing
– High-movement areas heal slower
– Friction from shoes or clothing can affect recovery
– Extra aftercare may be required
Sun Exposure ☀️
– Frequently exposed areas are more prone to pigmentation changes
– Sun protection is critical before and after sessions

How Your Immune System Affects Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal shatters tattoo ink into tiny particles. Once that happens, your immune system clears those particles away through the lymphatic system. The stronger and healthier your immune response, the better the results.

Strong Immune System – Faster Fading
– White blood cells remove ink particles more efficiently
– Ink clears faster between sessions
– Often requires fewer sessions
Weaker Immune System – Slower Results
– Ink particles linger longer in the skin
– More sessions are needed
– Longer gaps between treatments may be required
Factors that may slow immune response:
→ Smoking
→ Poor diet
→ Chronic illness
→ Stress
→ Lack of sleep
Hydration & Circulation Matter
– Water supports lymphatic flow
– Good circulation helps transport ink particles away
– Exercise improves immune efficiency
👉 Staying active and hydrated boosts results.
Time Between Sessions
– Your immune system needs time to clear ink
– Shortening session intervals doesn’t speed removal
– 6–8 weeks between sessions is ideal for most people
Lifestyle Choices Affect Results 🚭🥗
✔ Healthy diet = better healing
✔ No smoking = faster fading
✔ Good sleep = stronger immune response
✔ Managing stress = better recovery
Aftercare Supports Your Immune System
– Proper wound care prevents infection
– Reduces inflammation
– Allows immune system to focus on ink removal

How the Number of Sessions Affects Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is a gradual process. Each session breaks down a portion of the tattoo ink, and your body clears it over time. One session is never enough for complete removal.

Why Multiple Sessions Are Needed
– Ink is layered deep in the skin
– Lasers can only safely break down a portion of ink per session
– Your immune system needs time to clear ink particles
👉 Trying to remove everything at once increases the risk of burns, scarring, and pigmentation issues.
Typical Number of Sessions
Most tattoos require:
– 6–12 sessions for significant fading or full removal
– Some stubborn tattoos may need 15+ sessions
Results vary based on:
→ Ink color
→ Skin tone
→ Tattoo size
→ Ink depth
→ Tattoo age
→ Laser technology
→ Immune system strength
Spacing Between Sessions Matters
– Sessions are usually spaced 6–8 weeks apart
– This gives your immune system time to work
– Longer gaps often improve fading
⚠️ More frequent sessions do NOT mean faster results.
Fewer Sessions vs More Sessions
✔ Fewer sessions = lighter, older, black-ink tattoos
✔ More sessions = large, colorful, deep, or cover-up tattoos
Each session builds on the progress of the last one.
Sessions Affect Cost & Commitment
– More sessions = higher total cost
– Long-term commitment is required
– Clinics may offer session packages for better value
Patience = Better Results
– Rushing treatment can:
– Damage skin
– Delay healing
– Slow long-term results
Steady, well-spaced sessions deliver the safest and best outcomes.

How Aftercare & Lifestyle Affect Laser Tattoo Removal

Once laser treatment breaks the ink into tiny particles, your body needs the right conditions to heal and remove that ink safely.

Proper Aftercare = Better Results
– Good aftercare helps your skin heal and allows your immune system to focus on clearing ink.
Key aftercare tips:
→ Keep the area clean and dry
→ Apply recommended healing ointments
→ Avoid picking blisters or scabs
→ Wear loose clothing over treated areas
👉 Poor aftercare can slow fading and increase scarring risk.
Sun Exposure Slows Removal ☀️🚫
– UV exposure increases pigmentation risk
– Tanned skin absorbs laser energy poorly
– Sunburned skin can delay sessions
✔ Always use sunscreen (SPF 30+)
✔ Avoid tanning before and after sessions
Hydration & Nutrition Matter 💧🥗
– Water supports lymphatic drainage
– Healthy foods boost immune response
– Vitamins and antioxidants help healing
👉 Our Well-hydrated clients often see faster fading.
Smoking & Alcohol 🚭🍺
– Smoking restricts blood flow
– Slows immune system response
– Delays ink clearance
⚠️ Smokers often need more sessions than non-smokers.
Exercise & Circulation
– Improves blood flow
– Enhances immune system efficiency
– Helps transport ink particles out of the skin
– Light exercise after healing can improve results.
Sleep & Stress
– Quality sleep supports healing
– Chronic stress weakens immunity
– Rest improves skin recovery
Consistency with Appointments
– Skipping or delaying sessions slows progress
– Proper spacing (6–8 weeks) ensures optimal fading

Just recently got my first tattoo here. Eric was very professional, taking the time to actualise my idea to life (we discussed designs for about 2 days). What I liked most is that he takes time to really understand what you're aiming for, so that you have no regrets. Couldn't recommend a more professional service especially if you're on the fence about getting one done.
Secondly, he's got impressive craftsmanship because the tattoo came out exactly as I imagined, and he also takes the time to check up on you during the healing phase. Couldn't recommend a better artist! Cheers man! I'll be back for the second one🔥

Outstanding Tattoo Experience!
I am extremely happy with my new 'Safari' tattoo from Eric at Rebel Inks! The quality of the artwork is fantastic. Eric is a true professional and an amazing artist.

The preparation and design process was thorough and collaborative. He was very patient with my specific requests, including making sure all the elements, which hold personal meaning, were perfect.

The aftercare guidance and follow-up have been excellent and careful, which has made the healing process easy and better than expected.

Working with Eric to get a tattoo while on my trip to Africa was awesome! I was worried that coordinating such a feat with a small window of time would not work out but Eric was very accommodating and was willing to work with me. The commutation was great. He really listened to what I wanted and helped to create a piece that perfectly represents my time there. Excellent work and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Eric for all your tattoo needs in Nairobi!!

Got my lip pierced here and the service was top-tier.

The staff were super friendly, explained everything clearly, and made me feel so at ease. They answered all my nervous questions (and I had many questions),

They walked me through the whole process, gave detailed aftercare instructions, and even followed up afterward to check how I was healing 🫶

Clean, professional, and full of good vibes.
Would 100% recommend . Definitely making a second trip here.

Eric is not only an amazing tattoo artist but he is also just a great person! From the beginning of our communications before I was even in Kenya, to weeks after getting the tattoo, Eric was incredibly patient and attentive with me.
This was the second tattoo I got and I wish I could have come to Eric for my first one! He gave me really great after-care directions for the tattoo as well as a little jar of his own Vaseline-type stuff to put over my tattoo while it was healing! He even put second skin over my tattoo so that I didn’t have to worry about it for the first few days. Now THAT’S good service. My first tattoo artist didn’t do none of that lol.
After the session Eric didn’t rush me and my friend out, he chatted with us and even when he found out I was an artist too— really encouraged me to keep creating and to find a community of artists to support me. I almost cried because I’ve had such a hard time with my own art the past couple of years, it meant so much to me to have a fellow very talented artist say that to me. 🤍🤍🤍
Eric you’re amazing, don’t ever stop creating and just know you’ve impacted lives all over the world!🫶🏻 thanks so much for everything!!

Elisha Eady

10:46 13 Aug 25

I had the absolute best experience at Rebel Ink in Nairobi! I wanted a tattoo to commemorate the two months I spent volunteering in a local hospital, and Eric created the perfect piece an Africa outline with an elephant and lion. His skill and artistry are second to none.

From the moment I walked in, Eric was professional, welcoming, and attentive. He made sure I was comfortable throughout, provided everything I needed, and explained every step of the process. The tattooing itself was unbelievably smooth - I genuinely felt no pain compared to my previous tattoos over the last 22 years.

Eric also gave me excellent aftercare guidance and products, and thanks to that, my tattoo healed beautifully. The attention to detail, precision, and shading are absolutely stunning. This is hands-down the best tattoo I've ever had, and I will be flying back to Nairobi for any future ink.

If you want incredible art, a professional experience, and a talented artist who truly cares about his clients, Rebel Ink is the place to go!

Sally Mbugua

07:53 13 Aug 25

I had a great experience at Rebel Inks with Eric who was very professional and accommodating. Mine was a re-piercing and he took his time to understand the anatomy and advise accordingly. He has constantly checked in and advised concerning aftercare and patiently addressed concerns I have had. I would highly recommend seeking the services available at Rebel Inks. I intend to go back for other services in future.

Nathaniel Juleka

15:57 11 Aug 25

I really appreciated Eric's professionalism. I got a vertical labret and we worked together to ensure my desired placement while still maintaining proper piercing procedures.

Eric and James were great! They managed to fit me and my husband into their schedule last minute and they made efforts to make sure we got our first ever unique tattoo designs to look the way we liked before starting the tattoo process. Eric did my tattoo (Jellyfish) and James did my husbands'(Elephant and Lion African content) with both taking 7-8 hours and came out very nicely. The tattoo shop was clean and we were made to feel comfortable. Eric ensured we had clear aftercare instructions. He also checked in on us in the weeks that followed to make sure we were healing well, and it was easy to get hold of him when either of us had questions.

I had a great experience getting tatted by Eric. From start to finish, he made the whole process smooth and chill. He listened to my ideas, added his own creative input, and brought the design to life even better than I imagined. Super professional, easy to talk to, and you can tell he really cares about his work and the people he works with. The studio was clean, the vibe was right, and the tattoo healed up perfectly. I’ll definitely be coming back for more work — highly recommend Eric if you’re looking for quality, clean lines, and an artist who actually gets it.

I had a fantastic experience with Eric... Not only is he incredibly skilled and talented..but he was also very professional and knowledgeable throughout my tattoo removal process. I was doing my laser treatment to help me get rid of a tattoo that I no longer wanted, and the results exceeded my expectations.

I had my navel piercing done in April, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Eric was not only professional but also incredibly kind and patient. What stood out most was how he consistently followed up by texting to ask how the piercing was healing and making sure I was comfortable every step of the way.

We ended up changing the jewelry three times to ensure I had the best fit and avoided any signs of rejection, and he always listened to my suggestions as a client, which I really appreciated. Now, three months in, my piercing is healing beautifully, with no sign of rejection. Highly recommend for anyone who values a piercer who cares about your comfort and healing journey!

I had a fantastic experience at Rebel Inks Tattoo in Nairobi. Eric was extremely professional and took his time to make sure everything was perfect. The tattoo came out even better than I expected, and the studio was very clean and welcoming.

What stood out the most was the aftercare Eric checked in with me even three weeks later to see how the tattoo was healing. That kind of follow-up shows how much he truly cares about his work and his clients.

I’m very satisfied and will definitely be coming back for my next piece. Highly recommend!

Went here for a simple "hakuna matata" tattoo and after the consultation with Eric, dramatically changed/enhanced the idea to include a lion and put it in a completely different location. Went back on Saturday and we did the tattoo and it took around 8 hours, after 2 hours of getting the stencil right, and the placement perfect.

Eric also did a belly button piercing for a friend, guiding her through the process, doing the piercing and then explaining the after care to her.

The shop is on the 3rd floor, with the entrance to the stairs near an alleyway on the left. The shop is perfect size, clean, and attractive looking. The mural is pretty dope.

This tattoo studio provided an excellent experience from start to finish. The artist was incredibly skilled, listened attentively to my ideas, and translated them into a beautiful and unique design. The studio was impeccably clean and adhered to strict hygiene standards, making me feel very comfortable. The entire process was professional, and I'm absolutely thrilled with my new tattoo. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for high-quality artistry and a safe, welcoming environment

Excellent service and highly recommend. Was visiting Nairobi and wanted to get a tattoo while there. Eric fit me into his schedule with very short notice on my part. His studio is clean and comfortable and his lines and images were just as clean and precise. The tattoo was exactly what I wanted. His post-care instructions and kit were easy to follow and apply. He also followed up with me weekly post appointment just to check how the tattoo was healing. One of the best tattoo experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend.

The entire process was conducted in a very aesthetically pleasing environment. The artist listened to my concerns and made a genuine effort to ensure my comfort, especially since I had experienced a failed piercing in the past. Given my sensitive skin, he provided the perfect jewelry to prevent any irritation. He also followed up after the procedure to check on my healing process. I truly appreciate his professionalism, and I highly recommend Rebel Inks Tattoos.

I recently got my tongue pierced at Rebel Inks. The experience was amazing and the entire process was smooth. The staff were professional. They maintained top-notch hygiene. The piercer was kind, patient and took time to explain the procedure, after care and what to expect during healing. Almost three weeks in and the healing process has been great. I highly recommend Rebel Inks to anyone considering a piercing—professional, clean, and welcoming! I’ll definitely be coming back for my next piercing.

Thank you for the amazing service! 🔥👅✨

Being my first tattoo, I was very sceptical about where I'll get my tattoo. I did look for some other places but the vibe was just not there. Then a friend of mine suggested to check out rebel ink since it's next to where I work and I did and am so glad i found this place. Eric is so kind and very good at his job. Not only did my tattoo look like it came directly from pinterest, there was minimal pain, the hygiene is on another level and the after care service just out of this world. Thank you so much rebel in for my first and it sure won't be my last 🥰

I got piercibgs there and the process was really good. My biggest concern was hygiene but that wasn't an issue at all, they use new needles and they sanitize them.

I was informes of everything i needed to know beforehand.

10/10 would recommend!

Amazing place to get piercings! My daughter and i got our ears pierced on a holiday to Nairobi from Australia.

Eric was so calm and patient with my almost 2 year old lady. It was such a clean and hygienic process. We will definitely be back for our second rounds of piercings and maybe even another tattoo!

Wairimu Waweru

Nelle

08:52 13 Feb 25

As a tourist it's always a little daunting getting a tattoo in a different country but from the moment I messaged Eric I felt more comfortable.
He listened to what I actually wanted and made sure he could fit in the time before I flew back home.
The shop is clean & private and is easy enough to find.
Eric has even checked in a couple of times since to make sure all is good.
I would totally recommend Eric! I absolutely love my Elephants!

This was a last minute decision to get a tatoo, Eric was very understanding and professional with his help I was able to choose and adjust my tatoo...I had a previous scar that I wanted to cover and yet put a sentimental tatoo in memory of someone dear. I had never had tattoos before so I was about afraid but the professionalism is very high so I relaxed and let them do my tatoo...
I had a very easy healing period and always follow up from Eric to check on my progress...I would highly recommend if you are a first timer because from my experience all went very well and attention to detail
Thank you for a good job and looking forward to send all my friends your way
And all the best with the new year 2025!

Besides the great work, he also went totally out of his way to assist us in a Sunday afternoon. Thank you Eric. You deserve to go far in life.

From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and welcome. The studio was spotless, with a modern and hygienic setup that immediately put me at ease. The piercing artist was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process thoroughly, answering all my questions with patience and professionalism. Their expertise was evident, and their steady hand made the piercing quick and virtually painless. What impressed me the most was their ethical approach to body piercing. They emphasized safety, sterilization, and proper aftercare, ensuring I left feeling confident about my decision and equipped to care for my new piercing. The entire team truly goes above and beyond to prioritize their clients’ comfort and well-being. If you’re looking for skilled, compassionate, and professional piercers, Rebel Inks Kenya is the place to go.

I went to Rebel Inks unsure and scared of getting my second lobe piercings but it's one of the best decisions I've made this year. The whole process was smooth, painless and the results so far are 100% satisfying because one, Eric was incredibly professional. He took the time to explain the whole process, answered every question that I had and listened to my preferences. He was patient and ensured that I was comfortable throughout.
Two, all the equipments he used for the piercings were new and/or sterilised.
Three, the parlour itself was very clean and was up to par with the hygiene standards.
Four, Eric provided effective aftercare instructions, making sure I knew exactly how to take care of my new piercings and he kept in touch and continues to do so, to check on the healing progress.
I highly highly highly recommend this place!!!

Not only was the piercing process smooth, but he also provided thorough aftercare instructions, making sure I knew exactly how to take care of my new piercings. What really impressed me was that he keeps in touch to check on how the healing is progressing – a sign of true care for his clients.

Tattoos are not just pictures but a lifestyle and art, and you notice that from the first second. It's a very simple shop but very clean and they focus on quality products and give professional advice. My tattoo artist Eric is very precise and a master of details and fine lines and not only that, he is also a very nice and cool guy who lives and loves the lifestyle. Thank you Eric, you are my man for nice tattoos whenever I'm in Kenya.

Fantastic experience - Eric worked skilfully and patiently to nail the vision of our anniversary tattoo design. It was my partner's first tattoo and she was made to feel very comfortable throughout the process, with no pressure around time to get it just right. Also checked in with us to make sure we were taking care of the new tatts properly. Great people, thoroughly recommended 👍

Great experience, the artist listens and is really diligent. The hygiene and equipment are top notch! Sterilization of equipment and single-use needles. After the tattoo the artist remains in contact with you to follow the progress of the healing of the tattoo and advises you on the products suitable for your tattoos.

I highly recommend.

I found Eric’s piercing servicing professional. He asked and listened thoroughly what I exactly requested, then we agreed on the piercing (upper-helix) and procedure. It started with explaining step by step how he would set the piercing and then undertook the work with uttermost detail. I am very happy with the result and also appreciate Eric’s aftersales support and health check-ins.

I cannot say enough about Eric and the experience he gave me. First of all, he fit me in when I was running short on time and helped me to find his shop. I just wanted a meaningful word tattooed and promised it would be small and quick. When I didn't love the fonts we came across, he free-handed a stunning font. He made sure the placement was perfect and checked in with me and we decided to just leave it as the outline without filling it all in and even with the change of plans the line work was perfection. Eric also charged me half of what I was quoted several other places even after he drew the design himself on the spot. It was the best overall experience I've had in a tattoo shop. I cannot speak highly enough of Eric's care for clients, artistic skill, or fairness in operating his business.

Me and my 3 friends all got ear piercings. Two of us got the conch, one got the upper cartilage, the other got her second holes. He was very professional, clean, accurate, and caring. All 4 of our piercings have healed great and he has been so kind to reach out and care about the aftercare of our piercings. If I lived in Nairobi, I would get all my piercings here! 100% would recommend him to anyone. The titanium jewelry is great quality as well.

My experience at Rebel Inks was exceptional. It was my first time getting a piercing, and I was understandably nervous. However, Eric, the piercer, was reassuring and professional. He explained the earlobe piercing process in detail and answered all of my questions before beginning.

I was particularly impressed with Eric's attention to hygiene. He thoroughly cleaned the room before I entered, sanitized all of the equipment he would be using, and changed gloves between each ear. This level of cleanliness gave me great confidence in his professionalism.

Eric's commitment to customer service did not end on the day of the piercing. He followed up with me regularly throughout the healing process to ensure that I was following the aftercare instructions and that my earlobes were healing properly.

I highly recommend Rebel Inks to anyone in Nairobi who is considering getting a piercing. Eric is a highly skilled and experienced piercer who takes great pride in his work.

I got my belly button piercing from Eric. I have had 2 piercings done before and I've never received service as good as his. He explained the piercing and after care processes in detail and was very patient with my many questions...I'm considering paying him school fees 😂. His hygiene standards are very high and he used a disposable sterilized needle. He followed up on my healing progress weekly...I felt like we were healing together 😅. I wish it was possible to give 10 stars. I'm definitely having my future piercings done with him and I'm recommending him to all my friends 😃

He also explained me the healing process and the complications which was actually great to know as most places do not care to talk about the work in so much detail.
The place is neat and clean and the equipments he used were also fine standards. Really appreciate his following up with me on the healing 🤗

I first went through their website to engage more on their services. I was particularly interested in the nose ring service. The communication from the day I made an appointment was very professional as well as the services offered. Eric explained in great detail the step by step procedure and was very patient with our questions. He administered effective hygiene and even let my friend record a video of the procedure. The after care followup is also great as Eric keeps checking up on the healing process on a weekly basis as well as giving additional guidance on the after care.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES to everyone. Actually what you see on their website is EXACTLY what you will get. Keep up the good work Rebel inks Tattoos.

I went to Eric for the first time to get help with an earring infection I couldn’t get rid of for months. I quickly got an appointment. He took time to listen to my concerns and previous treatments. He then recommended we try a different approach, changing the piercing and treating it as it was fresh. He gave great advise on how to clean and which care products to use. Throughout the whole session he was very friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. The weeks after he was checking in on how the piercing was doing.
The infection is now gone. I would definitely recommend!

Chris B

I got my ears pierced and the whole procedure was more than great. The space was very clean and time was taken to chose the right spot. He took his time to clean up after and we had a nice talk, too with many helpful information on cleaning and sanitizing the new Piercings. Even after we were done there was a weekly follow up on our healing process.
Can recommend this place totally and would go back there anytime!
Thanks!

I was so pleased with the service I got. I received a septum piercing from Eric and based on my experience with him, I wouldn't trust anyone else with any other piercings that I might get. He's very sanitary and walks you through the entire process making you feel comfortable and at ease. He also follows up on his clients concerning after care and is very easy to talk to. I would definitely refer anyone looking for to get a piercing, tattoo or tattoo removal here!
