There is something about Drew Barrymore that makes Savannah Guthrie want to get tattoos!
That’s at least what the TODAY anchor’s daughter Vale seems to think, after she shared with her that she would be getting her second tattoo with the Charlie’s Angels actress.
The veteran journalist got her first tattoo with the morning show host some time ago — “All my love” written in her late father’s handwriting from a letter he once wrote to her mom — and now, she’s gone down a similar route with her new tattoo honoring her kids.
On the Tuesday, March 11 installment of The Drew Barrymore Show, Drew had celebrity tattoo JonBoy come on to tattoo both herself and Savannah.
“I just have to say, I’m not a tattoo person, I never thought I’d get any tattoo, but we talked about it for years, and Drew is very persuasive,” Savannah first shared, though noted: “I’ve never regretted it, and I really love it.”
She then shared that when she told her daughter, who she shares with husband Michael Feldman, that she would be getting another tattoo, her reaction was: “Mommy every time you go to see Ms. Drew you get a tattoo.”

Drew was also getting a tattoo, “time” written on her wrist, but Savannah went first, and afterwards joked: “Once again, I haven’t told my mom, and you know she keeps finding out on TV.”

“I always worried about that, and the reason I wrote Mostly What God Does Is Love You is because over a lifetime I have learned that no matter what we may wonder about where God is or what he’s up to, that mostly what God is doing is loving us,” she maintained.
