Kylie Jenner Well On Her Way to Becoming a Tattoo Addict

Kim Kardashian may be of the mindset that you should never “put a bumper sticker on a Bentley,” but half-sister Kylie Jenner obviously doesn’t agree. The model recently posted a Snapchat video showing her getting what looks like her third tattoo, which would make her one of the most-tattooed members of the Kardashian-Jenner crew, a not-so-celebrated accomplishment in that family. Now the only family member with more tattoos than 18-year-old Kylie is her brother Rob, who is virtually covered in ink, with various designs dedicated to his parents, ex-girlfriends and other important people in his life.
Kylie’s first-ever tattoo was inked back in August 2015, and features a tiny red outline of a heart inked on the back of her left arm, a piece many people believed to be a tribute to then-boyfriend Tyga. Just three months later, Kylie Jenner went back under the needle for a mysterious tattoo on her right hip, which, as she revealed the following month, was another red tattoo designed after the phonetic spelling of the word “sanity.” Now, according to a series of Snapchat videos posted by Kylie on February 9, the model may have gone and had a third tattoo inked on her arm.
In the Snapchat videos, Kylie is seen laying back on a couch, covered in a blanket, while New York City-based artist Jon Boy works on the inside of her arm. In one of the videos, Caitlyn Jenner walks in, clearly confused, and says, “I have no idea what’s going on.” Now that Kylie is 18, she doesn’t need permission from her parents to get inked, and the model began exercising this newfound freedom the week after her 18th birthday, when she got the previously mentioned red heart tattoo. In a matter of just six months, Kylie has gone from zero to three tattoos, and we have a feeling this new ink won’t be her last.
Kylie and Rob aren’t the only Kardashian-Jenner kids with tattoos, although they have the most. Khloe Kardashian has a few tattoos of her own, including an “LO” tattoo tribute to ex-husband Lamar Odom on her hand, an “I love you” tat on the inside of her wrist, and a tattoo on her lower back of a pair of angel wings and the word “Daddy,” which she had lasered off last year. Kim and Kourtney have no tattoos, and probably never will, and Kendall Jenner has just two modest tats so far, including a tiny white dot on her middle finger, and another white tattoo on her finger of a broken heart, both inked by Jon Boy.

Hooked on Ink
Tattoo enthusiasts often claim addiction, but true addiction involves chemical and psychological dependence. Obsessive love for tattoos is not the same as addiction.
