Octopizzo shows off his other tattoos apart from the rose

2 mins read

Octopizzo has always been subtle when it comes to tattoos while his colleagues in the industry have been somewhat going heavy on the same.

The Kibera-born rapper for the longest time only had a single tattoo on his body, a rose on his arm, he is known for making and/or doing things that usually make sense and mean something to him, thus having a single tattoo for years.

Octopizzo real name Henry Ohanga, who is a proud Luo from Siaya County has added quite a few tattoos on his body and all of them have some personal and profound meaning to the ‘Plus One’ hitmaker.

The rapper who owns a foundation called Octopizzo Foundation shared a couple of photos sharing with his fans worldwide about them.

So far he has one that reads “Wuod Nyaboro” which is in Luo that translates to “Son of Nyaboro” right next to his single rose flower tattoo.

He has another one, “ART” on his biceps that translates to “Atieno” but he chose to write it in style.

He also has “39” tattooed on his forearm with “1963” and “1964” with love emoji between them right on top of it, this tattoo might mean a timeline that’s powerful and meaningful to the rapper.

This is the very first time the celebrated, respected rapper –who took the Kenyan hip hop scene to the boardrooms and made sure that it becomes a livelihood and a means of survival for other rappers after him– has had more than one tattoo at any given time.

Here are the photos of the rapper’s new ink

I am a Pan-Afrikanist to the core and love to let the world know what they are missing in Africa. I might do that through music and some interesting posts from time to time so please bare with me.

I will always be real though, that's a guarantee.
