Guthrie had previously said, “I’m not a tattoo person, but we talked about it for years, and Drew is very persuasive.” She chose a deeply personal design: hand-drawn hearts by her children, Vale and Charley, a sweet tribute to motherhood. Savannah’s daughter even joked that every time her mom sees Drew, she ends up with a new tattoo—turns out, she wasn’t wrong.
