Pete Davidson changed Kim Kardashian in more ways than one.
The Skims founder revealed on Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians” that she got a secret tattoo the night she hosted “Saturday Night Live” in October 2021, having kept the ink hidden from fans for two years.
It appears the reality star’s crew — including sister Khloé Kardashian, La La Anthony, Tracy Romulus, Stephanie Shepherd and Allison Statter — convinced her to finally take the plunge at 4:30 in the morning after she shared her first kiss with future boyfriend Davidson.
Despite once declaring she would never “put a bumper sticker on a Bentley,” the mom of four commemorated her memorable hosting gig with some permanent ink, showing off an infinity symbol tattoo inside her bottom lip on her Hulu reality show.
“The night I hosted ‘SNL,’ me and all my friends got matching tattoos and everyone got them on their hands and I was like, ‘There’s not a shot I will get a tattoo’,” she said on camera.

While the aspiring lawyer clearly changed her tune about getting tattooed, she did pick a place for the design that kept it hidden — until now.
A home video of the experience showed Kardashian talking through the process; “This is nothing,” she quipped of the pain, flashing a middle finger to the camera as celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy worked his magic.
“I finally put a bumper sticker on a Bentley,” she quipped.
“No one knows, no one sees it,” Kardashian continued. “I forget [about it], but every once in a while I’ll be flossing my teeth and I’ll see black and I’ll go, ‘What’s this black in my mouth?!’”

After Kardashian’s hosting gig, the 29-year-old “King of Staten Island” star inked the names “Jasmine” and “Aladdin” on his collarbone, along with the symbol — a nod to the Disney-themed sketch in which they both starred (and smooched).
Davidson’s extensive collection of body art once included numerous other tributes to Kardashian, including the initials of her four children, the phrase “my girl is a lawyer,” and even her first name branded on his chest.
While the comedian’s scrubbed his skin of most of those designs since their breakup in the summer of 2022, it seems Kardashian chose to keep her lip tat intact.
