Drew Barrymore Talks Savannah Guthrie Into Getting a Live Tattoo On-Air—The Meaning Will Melt Your Heart

When Drew Barrymore sets her mind on something, it’s bound to happen—just ask Today Show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. After years of talking about getting a tattoo together, the two went for their second tattoo live on The Drew Barrymore Show, with celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy behind the needle.

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.

One thing’s for sure: when Drew Barrymore is in your corner, you might just walk away with a little more ink than you planned—if at all.
