Published on December 6, 2019, Tina Kaggia's unique wedding band tattoo, which she got during her marriage to JB Masanduku, has become a source of distress for her.
After the couple parted ways, Kaggia sought the services of a tattoo remover in Nairobi, but the procedure did not go as planned.
According to Kaggia, the tattoo remover informed her that it would take about three sessions to completely erase the tattoo, but after the first session, the ink started peeling off, and the second session showed no change.
Desperate to salvage her finger, Kaggia has been advised to undergo reconstructive surgery to prevent losing her wrist.
She has vowed to take the tattoo removers to court for compensation, citing the financial burden she has incurred and the risk she now faces.
As Kaggia navigates this challenging situation, she has become a cautionary tale for those who may consider getting tattoos, especially those that are permanent and difficult to remove.
