On a fateful night in September 2016, Kendall Jenner took a break from being the world’s most in-demand supermodel to get a tattoo of the word meow inside her lip. It’s a move not even the most ardent cat lovers might make. Can you picture Phoebe Buffay, who literally has a song called “Smelly Cat,” or Holly Golightly, whose cat is actually named Cat, ever doing the same? It’s just so unexpected—especially from Jenner, who has far less ink than, say, her sister Kylie.

But Kendall Jenner isn’t most people. Nope, she’s a Kardashian-Jenner, which means she has superpowers coursing through her veins, thanks to all that Fit Tea and Instagram lightning. She laughs in the face of an inner-lip tattoo! This is a woman who’s squared off with Kris Jenner on multiple occasions. And worn this trippy outfit one time. She can handle anything.
Especially after a few drinks—which is the state of mind she was in when she got this tattoo. “I was drunk,” Jenner told Ellen DeGeneres in an interview Thursday (March 15). “I was not thinking clearly.”
Been there. OK, so not there exactly, but we’ve all done some out-there things after a few drinks, right? I passive-aggressively Venmo’d my friend James $50 for, I don’t know, reasons. I’ve purchased $25 worth of McDonald’s on several occasions. And texted guys I probably shouldn’t have. This all adds up to getting an animal word tattoo on my lower lip, as far as I’m concerned.
“[‘Meow’] was literally the first thing that came to my mind. I don’t know. Just, like, my drunk thoughts,” Jenner said.
This is almost as good as the time mama Kris did drunk karaoke on Valentine’s Day. I suddenly feel so much closer to this family.
