Monsters ink?
A woman’s attempt to get her lips tattooed backfired horribly after her kissers ballooned to monstrous proportions — to the point where her husband wouldn’t come near her.
A video of her life raft-evoking smackers has amassed more than 7 million views on TikTok.
In the clip, Whitney Leavitt could be seen undergoing a lip blushing procedure, in which they are inked with a desired color to permanently enhance them
Little did the TikToker know that she would soon kiss any hope of normal-looking lips goodbye, at least temporarily.
A subsequent snippet shows the aftermath of the operation, in which her smoochers are bright red and severely swollen, evoking a claymation figure or someone who put her mouth around a hornet’s nest.
Leavitt, meanwhile, compared herself to the character Jeff Fungus from the 2001 Pixar comedy “Monsters, Inc.” after he gets a suctioning “scream extractor” stuck on his lips.
Things went further downhill after she showed her carp-like kissers to her husband, who backed up in horror, before cheekily comparing his other half to a “Bratz doll.”
It would appear that huge lips could sink relation-ships — except that Leavitt burst into laughter, demonstrating that she’s able to see the funny side of the fiasco.
At that point, Leavitt’s beau backpedaled, assuring her that she looks “beautiful,” before cheekily quipping, “I’m sure the swelling will go down in a month.”
He then approached her as if to initiate a make-out session, prompting Leavitt to warn him, “You can’t kiss me for 48 hours.”
“I wouldn’t want to,” he shaded right back.
Social media users were maw-struck by the procedure, with one commenter declaring, “Canceling my lip blush apt asap.”
“This cured me of ever wanting lip filler,” wrote another.
“I could see her mouth in the windows reflection behind him,” observed a third.
Fortunately, Leavitt’s supersized smoochers were not permanent: In a follow-up clip posted a week later, the influencer could be seen with normal-proportioned lips.
As experts attest, lip blushing can leave a patient’s lips swollen, irritated and scabbed over for for the first week, Cosmopolitan reported.
Fortunately, in general, “it’s unlikely you will have any long-term damage to your lips from lip blushing,” Miami-based physician assistant Amy Koberling told the lifestyle magazine.
