Kim Kardashian made an unexpected revelation about her getting inked, despite her previous stance against tattoos. In a 2023 episode of The Kardashians, she shared a funny and surprising moment with her hairstylist, Chris Appleton. Kardashian showed him a tiny infinity sign tattooed on the inside of her bottom lip, which she had gotten after hosting Saturday Night Live in October 2021.
At the time, Kardashian was surrounded by a group of friends, including her sister Khloé, who were all getting matching tattoos. Initially, Kim had been adamant about never getting a tattoo, even joking that there was “not a shot” she would ever go through with it. But in the heat of the moment, surrounded by her close friends, she gave in and got inked.
She humorously referred to the tattoo as a “bumper sticker on a Bentley,” drawing a playful analogy to how she’d always viewed tattoos. Kardashian explained that getting the tattoo was her way of commemorating the SNL experience. She also joked that because it’s hidden inside her lip, she often forgets it’s there—until she’s flossing her teeth and is reminded by the small infinity symbol.
The tattoo’s placement, being discreet, means it’s something she doesn’t see often, keeping it low-key but still meaningful as a personal reminder of a big milestone in her career.
