Kendall Jenner Debuts Butt Tattoo Ahead of Scorpio Season

Kendall Jenner wants you to know she’s a Scorpio. The model recently posed in a photo shoot with Pop Magazine wearing all-black lingerie, and while that’s pretty standard for someone in her occupation, it was the addition of a scorpion tattoo on her butt that really made the photos distinctive.

In the photo by photographer Stevie Dance, Jenner is leaning on a white plastic lawn chair with the black-ink arachnid facing the camera. The star is known to have four tiny tattoos scattered across her body – two on her fingers, one on the inside of her lip, and one on her ankle – but this large piece is an outlier.

The reason we haven’t seen it before is that the ink is actually fake and was hand-painted by makeup artist Fara Homidi. “When @stevie_dance asks you to hand paint a ? and do it fast….you just go go go. LU, thanks for this moment S, and for your generosity @kendalljenner,” Homidi said in an Instagram comment on Dance’s post.

The rest of Jenner’s appearance was kept pretty minimalist to allow the scorpion to really stand out. Her long, dark-brown hair – which is no longer dyed a copper-red – was styled in her classic middle part and extended down to the middle of her back, and her makeup was very natural.
