Kylie and her then-boyfriend Travis Scott got matching butterfly tattoos on their ankles in 2017 shortly after they started dating.

Back in 2016, Kylie got the phonetic spelling of the word ‘sanity’ tatted on her hip in red ink by tattoo artist to the stars Bang Bang.
Three years later, she explained the personal meaning of the tattoo on Instagram during a vacations to Turks and Caicos.
“My first tattoo was ‘sanity’ to remind myself everyday to keep it,” Jenner wrote. “I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole young adult life and after my baby I dealt with all the internal ups and downs. I felt like I had to find myself completely again.”
