Popular young rapper Trio Mio got his first tattoo soon after completing high school in 2022
In an interview with SPM Buzz, he got real about the tattoo, revealing why he chose to get it after high school.
“At the time, I didn’t have the money. I am not lying. There were also lots of things going on and I didn’t want to get a tattoo worth Kshs500. If you want a Kshs500 tattoo it depends with how it is drawn but a Kshs500 tattoo is not equal to a Kshs10,000 tattoo or Kshs3000. I did want a substandard tattoo,” he told Silva Kido.
He went on to narrate the story behind the artwork, revealing that it is revolves around his favourite high school subject as well as his life.
“My tattoo is all about my life. You see here it is written T n J. I used to love Geography in school. I was good in map work. I can’t lie to you that I scored 100 but I was very good in map work. This is a map and this is a compass. TJ is my second name though its Thanks Jesus(TJ) so my life is all about thanking Jesus because of everything I have experienced,” Trio Mio explained.
The tattoo also includes the words heartless and trust. He said that he splashed a whopping Kshs80,000 to get it.
“It cost 80K. That is not losing money, it is loving oneself. Love yourself first then love other people.” he said.
He is also planning to get another tattoo that will completely cover his arm as well as his other parts of the body.
“Lazima nichafue mwili yote. Hii kitu ni addictive. Inakaa drugs. Ni ngumu pia juu ni uchungu. Inabamba ukichora juu unajaza but ni uchungu utaitana,” he advised.
According to him, he did not consult his mother before getting the artwork and said that it was a surprsie to her.
“She was like is it real? Is it temporary?” Trio Mio said.
