She appeared to be getting the industrial piercing done, which is said to be fairly painful to get as it goes through two thick layers of cartilage.
Lexi chose an ‘industrial bar’ earring, which joined the two new piercings at the anti-helix and helix parts of the ear together.
In the short clip shared to her Stories on Wednesday, Lexi cut a casual figure with a red long-sleeved t-shirt and appearing to go makeup free.
Her dark curly locks were worn in a fringe style and she looked uncomfortable as she winced in pain.

The model, 22, held her hands over her face as she swore to let out the pain of the procedure out.
Piercer ‘Mr Kim’ kept reminding her not to move as he tried to get it just right.
In another Instagram Story, Lexi showed the gnarly aftermath with blood dripping down her ear and onto her face.
Lexi’s throwback posts come not long after her supermodel mother Iman, 67, opened up about how she refuses to refer to David as her ‘late’ husband.

The supermodel, 67, opened up about how she refuses to refer to him as her ‘late’ husband and discussed her difficulties over finding space to grieve privately after he passed away.
Iman was married to Bowie from 1992 until 2016, when he died from liver cancer. The couple had one daughter together, Alexandria Zahra Jones, 22.
Speaking about how she has adjusted six years on from his death she told the publication: ‘He is not my ‘late husband’. He is my husband. I don’t mind at all being referred to as ‘David Bowie’s wife’. But I always remind people that I existed before I met him.
‘And he was also very particular. He never introduced me by saying, “Meet my wife”. He’d always say, “Meet Iman, my wife.” So we both already had our own identity. We were separate but together.’

‘On finding the space to grieve privately after his death she added: ‘It was too much. Too much. We lived a very private life and suddenly it felt like there was a target on mine and my daughter’s head.
‘It got to the point where we had to leave our home [in New York City] because the public were always at the front door. Which I admire. I get it. But there was a point where it was like: “OK, go home now.”
‘You had people who would take your picture, sell it and then come to you and say, “I feel your pain”.’ She continues, breaking into a laugh: ‘And, I’m like, “No, b***h, you don’t feel my pain, get away from me”.’
As for what the future might bring she went on to say: ‘I think of myself now as a mom and grandma first,’ […] ‘That’s my place in life.’ Then adds, with another laugh: ‘I can’t really wear heels anymore. I know my limitations.’
Last year Iman revealed she will never remarry five years after her legendary rock star husband David lost his battle with cancer on Jan. 10 2016.
The star told PEOPLE magazine that it was ‘love at first sight’ when she met David on a blind date in Los Angeles years ago and still feels his presence after all this time.
