Pete Davidson wanted to do something "really different" for his latest tattoo, Kim Kardashian says, and he didn't disappoint — though it's not actually a tattoo at all.
On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kardashian confirmed the Saturday Night Live star has gotten "a few" tattoos inspired by her since they started dating last fall. This includes a "cute" one that says "my girl is a lawyer," even though Kardashian has seemingly not passed the full bar exam yet. But after fans recently noticed a "Kim" on Davidson's body in a shirtless photo, Kardashian revealed this is "actually a branding."
DeGeneres appeared a bit perplexed by this bombshell, asking Kardashian, "When you say branding, so like literally an iron thing went onto his body to brand 'Kim'?" She confirmed, "Yes."
