Tiny Inner-Lip Tattoo Ideas and Inspiration

Inner-Lip Tattoo Ideas That Can Be Completely Hidden, Like Kendall Jenner's "Meow" Ink

Inner lip tattoos started to gain popularity a few years ago with notable stars like Miley Cyrus and Kendall Jenner getting them, but they're not often talked about. Because of the discrete nature of inner lip tattoos, they can be easy to hide, but like with anything, there are pros and cons to consider.

On the pro side of getting a small tattoo on your inner lip, you have the ability to keep the ink completely concealed — no one has to see it unless you want them to. The hidden location allows for complete freedom when it comes to choosing a design (which is how Jenner ended up with "Meow" on her lip). But that brings us to the number-one downside of trendy inner lip tattoos — they don't last very long. Due to several factors — friction from your front teeth, saliva, movement when talking and eating — most tattoos in this location fade away within less than a year (depending on how you look at it, that too can be a pro). You also have an increased risk of infection with inner lip tattoos and the pain factor to consider because the skin here is very thin.

Ahead, we rounded up a few inner lip tattoo ideas for anyone considering getting the hidden piece of ink.
