There is no doubt that our celebs have some of the best tattoos that some of us only ever see in our dreams. 

For some, these tattoos have a significant meaning, and others have chosen to honor their loved ones with some of the greatest pieces of art that we have ever seen. 

And because we love these interesting tattoos, we have decided to feature some of the great minds behind these incredible pieces of work, just in case you want to get the same tattoo as your fave celeb. 


Last Number Tattoos


It was not that long ago when Amapiano star Lady Du decided to honor the late Killer Kau and Mpura with a beautiful tattoo. 

The two had died in a road accident and were very good friends with Lady Du. It was quite a humbling gesture and fans were beyond impressed with what Lady Du had chosen to do. 

The tattoo was penned by one Last Number Tattoos and we can all agree that they did a great job.


Nala Quality Tattoos


Next up on the list we have the ever sensational performer Zodwa Wabantu, who just recently got matching tattoos with her Ben 10, Ricardo. 

And while many had said that it would only end in tears now that they had decided to take such a huge step, fans continued to swoon over their love, because this only meant that they were in it for the long run.

Their tattoos were done by Nala Quality Tattoos and judging by the look on these two lovebirds' faces, we can only believe that they were certified with the artist's work. 

Would you tattoo the name of your bae yourself?




Hands Of Mysteries Tattoo


It has always been a known fact that Lesedi is a tattoo addict. So far she has up to 6 known tattoos and it will not be a surprise if she gets inked a 7th or even 10th time. 

Not too long ago, she shared on her YT channel that she had just gotten one of her favorite tattoos, a cherry blossom, on her shoulder. It was during summer, and she was happy that she could show off her newest ink with her saucy summer wardrobe. 

Her tattoo artist was none other than Hand Of Mysteries Tattoo, and looking at their portfolio, this is most definitely your next stop just in case you’re looking to get inked soon!



Royal Ink SA


Oh come on, bet you just skimmed through to see if SupaMega was on the list too! Well, it’s your lucky day. 

Time and time again, we have seen AKA debut some of his many tattoos that always leave his fans drooling and in awe. No doubt, we all want to have his tattoo artist as a plug because they do one hell of a job!

Take for example that one time that he decided to ink his icon the late Michael Jacskon. Not every tattoo artist can hack such a task but this one understood the assignment pretty well. 

The great work of art was done by Royal Ink SA, so if you are planning to ink your icon anytime soon, you know where to go!


Crea8tivesoul


Last but not least, we cannot fail to feature actor Atandwa Kani’s tattoo. You have to agree that he touched the hearts of many when he decided to ink his doppleganger, the late Chadwick Boseman as a means to honor him. 

The famous actor had succumbed to cancer not too long ago and being acquainted with Atandwa, it was good to see how he chose to honor his memory. 

Taking to his social media, many were beyond impressed with the work of art and commended the tattoo artist, who happens to be one Crea8tivesoul. And looking at their page, there is no denying that it is nothing if not absolutely stunning.



Which of these tattoo artists do you think takes the win?
