EXCLUSIVE: Khaligraph Jones reveals plans for full-body tattoo
Artists, like any other individuals, get tattoos for a variety of reasons.
Rapper Khaligraph Jones has spoken out about his many tattoos, revealing his plans to have tattoos covering his entire body.
In an exclusive interview with Nairobi News, the renowned artist, famous for hits like “Mazishi,” opened up about the deeper meanings behind his ink.
“Most of them have a deeper meaning in my life. I have tattoos for my nephews and nieces. I haven’t gotten for my kids yet,” he said.
“I also have one for my mother and one for ‘Respect the OG,’ which means a lot to me, although some people might tend to disagree with that,” Khaligraph explained.
“I have so many tattoos, and they all hold significance. They adorn various parts of my body. I weigh over 125kg, and you can find them on my hands, legs, and even my chest. But my plan is to eventually have tattoos covering my entire body.”
