Makoba’s tattooing passion unquestionable

It is for this reason that even locally, many young artists have taken that path instead rather than other segments in the art industry. Among those is one Wedu Makoba also famed as Wedu King by his fans and clients.

Makoba has been involved in the tattoo business since 2009 but has told Arts & Culture that he started tattooing professionally in 2014. “I was inspired by seeing rappers such as 50 Cent and Eminem, but what really got me into being a tattoo artist was seeing our local tattoo artist, Malcom & Dr Tattoo on Btv back in 2009 talking about his profession.
