Factors that Influence Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is a highly effective method of fading or removing unwanted tattoos, but the results are not the same for everyone. Some tattoos fade significantly within a few treatment sessions, while others require more time, multiple laser treatments, and careful aftercare to achieve the desired results. This is because several factors influence how effectively laser technology can break down tattoo ink and how efficiently the body’s immune system can eliminate the fragmented ink particles.
Factors that Influence Laser Tattoo Removal
At Rebel Inks Tattoos, Tattoo Removal & Body Piercings Parlour in Nairobi, Kenya, we understand that every tattoo is unique. Our approach to laser tattoo removal considers the characteristics of your tattoo, your skin type, and your desired outcome to help establish an appropriate treatment plan. Whether you want to remove an old tattoo, eliminate unwanted lettering, fade a colourful design, or prepare your skin for a new tattoo, understanding these influencing factors helps you make informed decisions and develop realistic expectations.
Understanding the factors that influence laser tattoo removal is essential when deciding to remove an unwanted tattoo, fade an existing design for a cover-up, or completely clear a tattoo. Factors such as ink colour, tattoo size, ink depth, skin tone, tattoo age, laser technology, placement on the body, and individual healing response all play an important role in determining the treatment process and expected results.
In this comprehensive guide, we explore the major factors affecting laser tattoo removal, why some tattoos are easier to remove than others, and what you can do to support better treatment outcomes.
Tattoo Ink Colour
One of the most important factors influencing laser tattoo removal is the colour of the tattoo ink. Different ink colours absorb different wavelengths of laser light, meaning some colours respond more effectively to laser treatment than others. Laser tattoo removal works through selective photothermolysis and photomechanical effects. The laser delivers specific wavelengths of energy that are absorbed by tattoo pigment, helping break the ink into smaller particles that the body’s immune system can gradually remove.
How different ink colours respond to laser treatment:
- Black Ink: Black tattoos are generally among the easiest to remove because black pigment absorbs a broad range of laser wavelengths, particularly 1064nm Nd:YAG laser energy. This makes black and dark grey tattoos excellent candidates for laser removal.
- Red Ink: Red tattoo pigments often respond well to 532nm laser wavelengths. However, the exact response depends on the pigment formulation and other ink ingredients.
- Blue Ink: Dark blue pigments may respond to certain wavelengths, while lighter blue shades can require more specialised treatment approaches.
- Green Ink: Green tattoos can be more challenging to remove because some green pigments do not absorb the wavelengths commonly used for black and red ink.
- Yellow Ink: Yellow pigment is often difficult to remove because it reflects much of the laser energy used in conventional tattoo removal.
- White Ink: White tattoo pigments can be particularly challenging. Some white pigments may darken or change colour when exposed to laser energy, making professional assessment important.
- Purple and Turquoise Ink: These colours can have varying responses depending on their chemical composition and the laser wavelength selected.
Why ink colour matters: The more effectively a tattoo pigment absorbs the selected laser wavelength, the more efficiently the laser can target it. Multicoloured tattoos may therefore require different wavelengths and treatment strategies throughout the removal process.
Tattoo Size and Coverage Area
The size of your tattoo is another important consideration when determining the time and treatment required for laser tattoo removal. Generally, larger tattoos contain more ink distributed across a wider skin surface, meaning the treatment area takes longer to cover and may require more appointments. Smaller tattoos often take less time to treat during an individual session, although their ink density and composition can still make removal challenging.
How tattoo size influences removal:
- Small Tattoos: Small symbols, initials, lettering, and minimalist designs usually require less treatment time per session.
- Medium-Sized Tattoos: Designs on the forearm, shoulder, calf, or upper arm may require a more extensive treatment plan depending on their ink density.
- Large Tattoos: Full sleeves, back pieces, chest tattoos, and large thigh designs cover substantial skin areas and may need to be divided into manageable treatment sections.
- Full-Body or Extensive Tattoos: Multiple interconnected tattoos require individual assessment and careful treatment planning to ensure safe coverage and adequate healing.
Important consideration: Tattoo size does not automatically determine the number of sessions. A small, heavily saturated tattoo may take longer to remove than a larger, lightly applied design.
Tattoo Age
The age of a tattoo can significantly influence how it responds to laser removal. Older tattoos often appear faded because the body’s immune system has gradually eliminated some of the ink particles over time. Sun exposure, natural skin renewal, and the original tattooing technique may also contribute to fading.
- Older Tattoos: Older tattoos may be easier to remove because some of their pigment has already been broken down and cleared naturally. However, this is not always the case. Some older tattoos contain deeply embedded or stubborn pigments that remain difficult to eliminate.
- Newer Tattoos: Newer tattoos generally contain more concentrated pigment, which may make them appear darker and more vibrant. They may require additional treatment sessions, depending on their composition and application.
It is also important to allow a new tattoo to heal completely before beginning laser removal. Treating freshly tattooed skin can increase the risk of complications, including burns, scarring, and pigment changes.
Why tattoo age matters: Older, naturally faded tattoos may need fewer sessions in some cases, while newer, heavily saturated tattoos may require a longer treatment plan.
Ink Depth and Density
The depth and concentration of tattoo ink within the skin play an important role in determining how effectively laser energy can reach and break down the pigment. Tattoo ink is generally deposited into the dermis, the layer beneath the epidermis. However, the exact depth varies depending on the tattoo artist’s technique, needle penetration, equipment, and application pressure.
Ink Depth
- Shallow ink deposits may respond differently from pigment distributed deeper within the dermis.
- Deeply embedded ink may require additional treatments to achieve significant fading.
- Uneven ink placement can result in some sections fading faster than others.
Ink Density
Ink density refers to how much pigment has been deposited within a particular area.
- Lightly applied tattoos generally contain less pigment.
- Heavily saturated tattoos contain larger concentrations of ink.
- Solid blackwork and dark tribal designs may require more sessions because of their high pigment density.
- Layered tattoos and cover-ups may contain multiple pigment deposits, making removal more complex.
Why it matters: The greater the amount of pigment that needs to be fragmented and cleared, the more extensive the removal process may become.
Skin Tone and Fitzpatrick Skin Type
Your natural skin tone is an important consideration when planning laser tattoo removal. Laser energy is designed to target tattoo pigment, but the surrounding skin also contains melanin, which can absorb some laser energy. The Fitzpatrick Skin Type Classification is commonly used to assess how different skin types respond to ultraviolet exposure. It categorises skin into six types, ranging from very fair to deeply pigmented.
How skin tone influences laser tattoo removal:
- – Types I and II: Fair skin generally contains less melanin, which can provide a wider treatment window when targeting darker tattoo pigments.
- Types III and IV: Medium skin tones require careful wavelength and energy selection to reduce the risk of unwanted pigmentation changes.
- Types V and VI: Darker skin tones contain higher levels of melanin, which can compete with tattoo pigment for laser energy absorption. Appropriate laser selection and conservative treatment settings are particularly important.
For darker skin tones, longer wavelengths such as 1064nm Nd:YAG are often preferred for black ink because they are less strongly absorbed by epidermal melanin than shorter wavelengths.
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

Great experience! The tattoo artist was super friendly and made sure to guide me through the whole process, even though I’ve been tattooed before. I had a little trouble finding the place, so he kindly came down to the street to meet me and showed me the way up. He also made sure to reassure me that he was using a brand-new needle, without me even having to ask, which I really appreciated. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this place.

If you’re looking for a tattoo artist who is exceptionally prepared, detail-oriented, passionate about his craft, and, above all, genuinely invested in bringing his client’s vision to life, then you won’t be disappointed with Eric.
From our very first interaction, Eric was thorough and specific about what he needed. He asked me to share my idea, send a photo of my arm, and was quick to offer suggestions on how to improve the design. He also wanted me to finalize my vision a few days before our appointment so he would have adequate time to prepare. I really respected this approach. An artist who is too casual about their work doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, and Eric was the complete opposite.
I wanted a cheetah running along the inside of my forearm. I sent Eric a reference image, and he took that concept, refined it, and worked out the perfect size and placement for my arm.
When I arrived for my appointment, the atmosphere was focused and professional. It was immediately clear that Eric takes his work seriously. He made a few final adjustments to the design, always checking that I was happy before moving forward. As the day progressed, we got chatting, and I discovered that Eric is not only incredibly talented but also a genuinely interesting, intelligent guy. We shared some great stories, which made the whole experience even better.
And then there was the finished tattoo. I was absolutely blown away. The execution exceeded every expectation I had. The detail in the fur, the definition of the muscles, the coloring, shading, claws, highlights, and background, everything came together perfectly. The cheetah looks incredible, and the level of artistry is something else entirely.
Eric is a master of his craft, and he absolutely crushed it.
Thank you, Eric! I’m genuinely stoked that I get to look down at my arm every day and see this incredible piece of art. Couldn’t be happier with the result, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional tattoo artist!

I had a double nose piercing (two on the same side) done by Eric last August, and my experience was exceptional! The studio was spotless, neat, and maintained very high standards of hygiene.
What impressed me most was Eric’s professionalism and expert guidance. Unlike my previous experience elsewhere—where I was just asked where I wanted it and given a ring without any advice—Eric took the time to advise me on proper placement, aesthetics, and why using the right stud is critical for proper healing.
His aftercare support was incredible too. When I developed a bump about a month later, I went back to him. He handled it right away and recommended switching studs, which completely cleared up the irritation. He even followed up regularly afterward to check on my healing progress.
Bonus points for his awesome music playlist during the sessions! Highly recommend Eric if you want a clean, professional, and truly caring piercer.

When looking for a tattoo artist, the most important things to me were attention to detail, patience, and hygiene. Eric absolutely delivered on all of that and honestly exceeded my expectations. From the start, he really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and never rushed the process. We went through multiple redesigns for the 4 tattoos I got, and he made sure every single detail was exactly how I envisioned it before starting. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and about making his clients happy with the final result. I spent around 16 hours at his studio getting several services done, including laser removal on an old tattoo, and the entire experience was amazing from beginning to end. I never once felt uncomfortable or unsure about anything. The hygiene standards were also extremely reassuring. From constant glove changes to repeated sanitizing of surfaces and equipment, everything was handled very professionally. Huge shoutout as well to his videographer Mashaa, who helped a lot with content creation and made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. I also got two ear piercings done, and everything from the placement to the jewelry selection was perfect. Even after the session, Eric stayed super responsive and helpful during the aftercare process, which I really appreciated.
Overall, I genuinely can’t recommend him enough. If you want someone talented, patient, professional, and genuinely invested in giving you the best experience possible, Eric is definitely the artist to go to.

I couldn’t recommend Rebel Inks more! My husband and I were visiting from Seattle and Eric made the entire process of setting up an appointment and sharing my ideas from across the globe extremely smooth and stress free. The day of my appointment, Eric was extremely welcoming. He explained to me changes he’d made to my idea and his reasons why. I really appreciated the thought he had put into it. Everything was clean and professional. My husband also decided he would like to get something to mark our trip and Eric came in on his day off to tattoo him. I enjoyed everything about my experience and would recommend to anyone local or visiting!

I had a very positive experience at this tattoo studio. The space was clean, well organized, and followed proper hygiene standards. The artist was professional, patient, and attentive to detail, making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process.
The design was executed with precision, and the final result matched exactly what we discussed beforehand. Communication was clear, and they took the time to explain aftercare properly.
Overall, the quality of the work and the level of professionalism were impressive. I would recommend this studio to anyone looking for reliable and skilled tattoo artists.

Eric tattooed my wife while we were on holiday in Nairobi and did great work. He took the time to improve on the reference she’d provided and did such a good tattoo, I decided on the spot to try and get my own. We didn’t have much time but he graciously came in on his day off to tattoo me and now we both have a permanent inked memory we’re so proud of. Thank you!

I got my flat piercing done here. Great customer service. The place was clean, all equipments were sterile and the process was very smooth. I love their website articles that provide a detailed breakdown of the aftercare instructions as well as a great explanation about the different cartilage piercings and what to expect during the healing process. The aftercare is top tier too!! They check up on you and how your piercing is healing to ensure everything is going well. Best experience ever! I highly recommend.

I wanted nose piercing so I searched online for professional service. I found Rebel Links on some search engine and I loved the reviews Before the piercing there was some pre-counselling on what to expect and this gave me confidence. The place is clean and equipment is clean too. All disposable tools used are new. The service was very professional.
Post piercing care is consistent and gentleman is available for consultation incase of any challenges.
My healing has been very smooth and I am now enjoying my new me. I look forward to going back for something else soon.

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🔥

My sisters and I came in to Rebel inks a couple weeks ago and it was one of the best piercing experiences I’ve ever had. The piercing were done in a spotless environment where our piercer showed us the procedures of the piercings and made sure we were comfortable while doing so. Eric was very thorough in explaining aftercare and what we should expect. Definitely coming back 🙂

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 service was friendly and highly professional from start to finish. Despite the 8-hour session, Eric was a pleasant person to spend the time with.
The aftercare guidance and follow-up have been excellent and careful, which has made the healing process easy and better than expected.
I highly recommend Eric for anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and caring tattoo artist.

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!!

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!!

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!

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 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’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 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

I recently visited Rebel Inks, having had a thorough conversation with Eric before hand for a professional nipple piercing, and I can’t recommend them enough! 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 couldn’t be happier with my experience and can’t wait to return for more services in the future!

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!!!

The piercer was incredibly professional and took the time to listen to my preferences and requirements, ensuring that I was comfortable throughout the process.

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.
The shop maintains a high standard of hygiene, and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, which really added to the positive experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a professional and caring experience. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future piercings!

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.

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.

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!

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!
