About Kiki

Hi, I'm Kiki! I'm an illustrator and tattoo artist at Alf's Body Art Studio in Long Beach, California. I've been tattooing for one year.I have been creating artwork since my childhood, and my style is heavily influenced by 90's and 2000's anime and manga. My favorite artistic mediums are alcohol markers and digital. I love futuristic and robotic themes as well as everything colorful and cute!

Aftercare


✦ You just got a new tattoo! Now what?
It is important to follow aftercare instructions to ensure your tattoo heals well.
✦ If you receive second skin during your appointment, please leave it on no longer than 24 hours. If the second skin causes redness, irritation, peels and exposes the tattoo, or gets water trapped inside, please remove it immediately.✦ To remove second skin, under warm running water, gently stretch the bandage by holding two opposite corners and stretching them away from each other. Do this very slowly and gently, do not rip the bandage off.✦ If you did NOT receive second skin, please only leave the saran wrap on for a maximum of 2 hours.✦ Once the second skin or saran wrap is removed, you will begin a regimen that should be followed for a minimum of 2 weeks:✦ 2 to 3 times a day, gently wash your tattoo with a fragrance free soap. I like Dr. Bronner's Baby unscented castille soap, or unscented Dial antibacterial soap. Use your hand only, do NOT use a washcloth or loofa.✦ After washing your tattoo, either pat it dry with a clean paper towel or let it air dry. Leave it dry for 10 minutes.✦ Once your tattoo is dry, moisturize it with a very small amount of lotion. I recommend Aquaphor for the first few days, and then an unscented, light lotion such as Vanicream or Cetaphil. The tattoo should not be shiny. If it is shiny, you moisturized too much. Gently pat off the excess with a clean paper towel.✦ Repeat this process 2 to 3 times a day for 2 weeks.✦ It is important to avoid irritating your tattoo during the healing period. Avoid rigorous exercise, sunlight, and fragranced products. Do not use sunscreen. Use clean clothes and bedding, and avoid getting pet hair in the tattoo.✦ After a few days to 1 week, your tattoo will begin to peel. This is normal! Do NOT pick at or scratch your tattoo, no matter how itchy it is. This will cause ink loss!✦ After 2 weeks, you may stop this process if you feel it is healed. However, it is still healing underneath the top layers. Your tattoo may look cloudy or waxy, and this is a normal part of the healing process!✦ After 6 weeks, your tattoo should be fully healed. You may now wear sunscreen to protect your tattoo. Wearing sunscreen every single day will make your tattoo last much longer.
At this point, you may decide you need a touch up.
Please reach out if you believe you need a touch up!

10.SHI


10.SHI (pronounced tenshi) is my mascot, persona, and original character. She was originally created in 2020 to be used as a VTubing avatar.
10.SHI is a broken robot who co-exists with her other forms, though V.2 is the most commonly depicted. V.1 is the only retired form.
She has a low battery that does not charge all the way, and depletes very quickly.
Her official symbol is the heart-shaped power button.
