In aYouTubeclip titled, “I GOT MY LIPS TATTOOED,” the actress gave viewers access to her aesthetic appointment to have her lips inked with a blush hue.
“OK, so first of all I’m trying to go under the radar,” Griffin said to the camera as she walked through a car park while wearing a T-shirt featuring a self-portrait and the slogan “Officially-Uncancelled,” likely referencing the2017 incidentin which she posed for a photoshoot involving a bloodied replica offormer President Donald Trump’s head.
“Second of all, I’m going to get my eyebrowsmicrobladedmore because I didn’t do enough the last time, and I’m getting my lips tattooed, but they call it blushing. We’ll see,” she added as she headed to her appointment.

TheSearch Partystar entered the aesthetician’s office, reclining on the cushioned exam table as she readied for themicrobladingprocedure, which involved the permanent transfer of pigment under the skin to areas of the face such as the eyebrows and lips to enhance those features with a look similar to permanent makeup.
Next, Griffin can be seen with a white substance around the edges of her mouth to ensure the pigment doesn’t bleed into the skin of her face as it’s inked to her lips.As Griffin gave a thumbs-up to the camera, the practitioner asked her, “You ready to not speak for three hours?”

“Whaaaaat?” she responded wide-eyed while lifting her head off the table before a film of plastic was placed over her mouth, seemingly containing a numbing solution to ensure the procedure was pain-free.
An aesthetician then used thetattoo gunto apply a bright red stain directly to Griffin’s mouth before the camera cut to the comedian with a bag of ice covering her freshly-inked lips as a film of plastic covered her brows, ready for them to receive their tattoo.The clip then cut to 62-year-old Griffin returning home to reveal her swollen mouth to her husband, marketing executiveRandy Bick, singing out to him as she entered the room, “I’m back from getting my lips tattooed!”
