Watch: Kim Kardashian Flashes Rarely-Seen Tattoo

Is it really putting a bumper sticker on a Bentley if you can't see it?

Although Kim Kardashian admitted she was "well known for always saying, 'You should never put a bumper sticker on a Bentley'" when it comes to getting tattoos, she proudly showed off her hidden ink during the Sept. 24 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, pulling down her bottom lip to put the tiny infinity symbol on display.

And although Kim told host Jimmy Fallon that "tattoos were against my ethos” growing up, she explained that she doesn’t regret getting the lip tattoo following her hosting appearance on Saturday Night Live in October 2021.

"I got it with all my friends," she shared, seemingly reflecting positively on the night. "All my girls came and supported."

Plus, as the SKIMS founder put it, "I got it in my mouth so that no one would see it.”

In fact, the location is so discrete that she sometimes forgets she has it.

"It's so funny, because sometimes I'll be flossing and then I'll see something dark in my mouth," she emphasized, "and I'll be like, 'Oh, my God! What is that?! I'm gonna die."

Kim—who shares children North, 12,  Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, with ex-husband Kanye West—first revealed her surprising choice back in 2023 during an episode of The Kardashians.

At the time, Kim shared the big secret with her hairstylist Chris Appleton.

"You guys, something you don't know about me," she began. "Me and all my friends got matching tattoos."

However, she emphasized that while they're matching, her friends didn't opt for the same location as she did. 

"Everyone got them on their hands and I was like, 'There's not a shot I will get a tattoo,'" she reflected. However, she ultimately changed her mind, as the footage of the evening out showed Kim saying, "This is how you celebrate SNL, with a little tattoo at 4:30 in the morning."
