Savannah Guthrie has two small tattoos tied to her family: “All My Love” in her father’s handwriting and two hearts drawn by her children. Her friend Drew Barrymore was with her for both tattoo sessions, several years apart.
Savannah Guthrie’s two-heart tattoo
Vale and Charley drew the hearts themselves. Guthrie had their outlines tattooed near her wrist during an on-air visit to The Drew Barrymore Show. The lines keep the uneven shape of the children’s drawing instead of turning it into a polished matching pair.
A design based on a child’s drawing depends on the original marks. The artist can make small adjustments for the skin, but smoothing every line would take away what makes these hearts personal.
The “All My Love” tattoo is written in her father’s hand
“All My Love,” written by Guthrie’s father, sits on her forearm. The handwriting is the design: its spacing and letter shapes keep the look of his note without added decoration.
Lettering needs enough room to remain readable as it heals and ages. With a handwritten phrase, the artist has to preserve the source while choosing a size that works on the curve of the arm.
A friendship that made room for ink
Guthrie was 51 when she and Barrymore got their first tattoos together in 2023, after talking about it for years. Their designs were different: Guthrie chose her father’s handwriting, while Barrymore got three sardines to represent herself and her daughters. They shared another tattoo session on the show in 2025, when Guthrie got the hearts Vale and Charley had drawn.
The friendship is part of the story because Barrymore encouraged Guthrie to try ink and was there for both appointments. The designs themselves point to family, not matching symbols.
Drew Barrymore was part of the story
The wider photos place Guthrie and Barrymore together around the tattoo conversations. They add context, while the close-up views and the original drawings show the designs themselves. The images don’t establish another tattoo or a separate meaning.
Why the placement feels practical
The phrase is on Guthrie’s forearm, and the hearts sit near her wrist. Both spots make the ink easy to see without a mirror, and a sleeve can cover it when she wants. The lettering has room to read; the hearts stay small enough to keep the children’s outlines.
Personal reasons can take time
The idea took years to become a tattoo. If you have a note or drawing you want to keep, show the original to your artist and discuss what needs to change at tattoo size before settling on placement.
