Back in early October, we initially thought that Cardi B had stepped out with a fake lip piercing to attend Beyoncé's Renaissance tour. But then we started seeing it again and again, so we know the piercing is the real thing. Now, the rapper is sharing why she had to take out her tongue ring while simultaneously showing off her new lip piercing.
On October 16 via Instagram Stories, Cardi shared with fans that she had to remove her tongue ring after accidentally biting it — ouch. In the video, she is chilling in bed with a bonnet on her head and a full-beat face of makeup. “I had to take it off because I think I bit it and it fucking fucked up a blood vessel,” she says while showing the camera her tongue. “The tip is purple. So, yeah, I'm traumatized.”
Though her tongue ring is absent, her new lip ring is not. There are several types of lip piercings, and Cardi chose a Monroe piercing, which is a stud right above the side of one lip. (You can probably guess where the name comes from.)
This new piercing is just one of many Cardi has. She has several in her ears, one in her belly button, and an eyebrow piercing. She debuted her brow piercing in 2021, during the Paris Fashion Week spring/summer 2022 season, but shortly afterward she removed it.
We doubt Cardi B will be parting with her new lip piercing anytime soon, but after seeing the disappearing act she did with her eyebrow ring, we wonder if this one will be just as short-lived.
