The mother of two said she has other tattoos of her children and that she paid Ksh 5,000 to the tattoo artist for the Sonko tattoo.

She shared that she did not get the tattoo inorder to chase clout or fame and unlike with other tattoos that she has, she did not post the tattoo on social media until the artist asked her to.
