Kim Kardashian reveals hidden lip tattoo tied to Pete Davidson on Tonight Show

Kim Kardashian appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night to promote NikeSkims, her latest fashion collaboration. The appearance blended high fashion moments with a personal tattoo reveal that has drawn attention online.

She arrived in a black latex dress with a plunging neckline and an up-to-there slit, complemented by a matching black choker and platform heels that nod to early-aughts style. The centerpiece of the segment, however, was a rarely seen tattoo on her lower lip: a black infinity symbol inked inside the lip.

Fallon teased the moment, noting that some topics might not air, before asking Kardashian to confirm a tattoo she reportedly got after hosting Saturday Night Live. The reveal tied a personal memory to the ink: Kardashian said she had the infinity symbol inked with friends who supported her at SNL, a night that also featured her first kiss with ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson. The nine-month relationship ended in August 2022, but the tattoo remains visible. Kardashian has long repudiated tattoos, famously quipping, “You don’t put a bumper sticker on a Bentley,” yet this night marked a rare departure from that stance.

Kardashian was joined on the set by Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner, who waited in the wings in coordinated NikeSkims looks as Kim discussed not only the upcoming launch but also being set up on blind dates and new projects, including Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair and Eva Longoria’s comedy The Fifth Wheel. The infinity symbol, she explained, remains a meaningful motif that intersects her personal history with her public ventures.

The Tonight Show moment comes as Kardashian continues to expand her media footprint, balancing fashion collaborations with scripted and episodic TV interests. In 2023, she had hinted at sharing the secret tattoo on a Kardashian-era episode, underscoring how personal and professional narratives often intertwine in public appearances.

As NikeSkims moves toward its launch, fans and observers will watch whether the tattoo becomes a recurring talking point or a one-off moment that travels with Kardashian across interviews and red carpets.
