Lip tattoos: All the bizarre things people get tattooed on their inner lip from sad kitties to dinosaurs

Remember when Miley Cyrus got a sad kitty tattoo inside her mouth, on the inside of her lower lip? Well, other people got tattoos inside their mouths, too.

Why? We don't know. For fun? For secret tattoo kicks? Doesn't matter. If you're thinking about getting an inner lip tattoo, we've trawled Instagram for some of our favourite designs.

But first, some brief information on lip tats...

They won't last forever – the skin inside your mouth repairs very quickly. Ergo, when selecting your lip tattoo, you needn't err on the side of caution.

Touch-ups are risky – we get it, you want to keep your tattoo looking fresh. However, touch-ups re-open old wounds, and skin is more sensitive the second or third time.

As inner lip tattoos technically need a lot of touching up, we'd recommend just letting it fade so you don't get an infection. Some tattoo artists won't even do inner lip tattoos because of the risk of infection.

Do your research – before getting a lip tattoo, do some research, go and see a professional and make sure you know what you need to know about aftercare.

We are not the world authority on tattoo aftercare and health – but we do know that the mouth is full of bacteria, which runs the risk of infection.
