If you didn't realise Kendall Jenner has tattoos, you're definitely not alone. Her two most visible tattoos are so discreet that you can't see them from a distance; her third tattoo is so well-hidden that she even managed to keep it a secret from her mom, Kris Jenner [1], for a few months. It's unclear whether Jenner will ever add to her collection of tiny tattoos [2], but if she did, we probably wouldn't even know it (if her hypothetical fourth tattoo is anything like her other ink, that is). Check out the gallery for photod of Jenner's three itty-bitty tats and the meaning behind them.
Kendall Jenner's White Dot Tattoo
Jenner's first tattoo was a tiny white dot tattooed on the middle finger of her right hand, courtesy of celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jenner accompanied her pal Hailey Baldwin to the NYC tattoo parlor in June 2015, where Baldwin was getting a tiny "g" tattoo behind her left ear. Not wanting to miss out, Jenner and her friend Joe Termini each got a microscopic dot [4] of white ink on their fingers.
In August 2015, JonBoy explained the meaning of the white dot [5] to Refinery29. "To [Jenner], it's the little things that matter," he said. "And the white colour was because she didn't want it to show with modelling and all that." The model told Ellen DeGeneres [6] in March 2018 that she got the tattoo out of curiosity [7]. "I just wanted to know what it felt like," she said. "All my friends have them so I wanted to know what it feels like. You can't see it but that's kind of the point." Later on, Jenner had the white dot turned into a small white heart, though it's unclear when that happened.
Kendall Jenner's "Meow" Tattoo
During a March 2018 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres [8] Show, Jenner opened up about her biggest (and most regrettable) tattoo: the "meow" inked on the inside of her lip. Apparently, the model got the inner lip tattoo all the way back in July 2016 after a few too many drinks with friends, but she kept it a secret until September, when JonBoy posted a pic of her new ink [9] on Instagram. According to Allure, she also spilled the beans about her secret tattoo [10] during her photo shoot for the mag's October 2016 issue.
Nearly two years later, Jenner confessed to DeGeneres that the decision hadn't been well-thought-out [11]. "[The word 'meow'] was literally the first thing that came to my mind, like, I don't know! Just like my drunk thoughts," she said. The good news: it didn't hurt. Of her inner lip, she said, "It's just fattiness — or is it muscle? . . . bone hurts really bad."
Kendall Jenner's Broken Heart Tattoo
In August 2015, not long after getting her first tat, Jenner and Baldwin decided to get matching heart tattoos on the inside of their left middle fingers, with Baldwin opting for red and Jenner choosing white. The hearts were drawn to look like two halves of a heart-shaped friendship necklace, and Jenner explained the meaning of her two tiny tattoos [12] in an April 2016 blog post which has since been deleted. "The one on my right hand is a full heart to represent an angel and my left is a broken heart — kind of like the devil side," she wrote. Baldwin posted a Snapchat of their matching tats [13] soon after they got them, but Jenner has never shared any pics of the ink.
