Drew Barrymore’s Persuasive Powers Strike Again!
Drew Barrymore and Savannah Guthrie took their friendship to the next level when they got inked together on a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. Viewers were left in shock as Barrymore managed to convince Guthrie, who previously stated she wasn’t a “tattoo person,” to get her second tattoo live on air.
The pair’s tattoo journey began two years ago when they first got matching tattoos. At the time, Barrymore opted for an artistic representation of three sardines to symbolize her and her two daughters. Guthrie, on the other hand, got the touching words “All my love” inked in her late father’s handwriting—a meaningful tribute taken from a love letter he once wrote to her mother.
However, no one expected Guthrie to return for round two, least of all herself!

Savannah Guthrie’s Reluctant Yet Heartfelt Tattoo Decision
On this morning’s show, Guthrie admitted, “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.”
She continued to explain how Barrymore orchestrated their first tattoos, saying, “She’s like, ‘I found our guy and he’s coming over, and let’s do this.’ So I did. And I’ve never regretted it and I really loved it.”

With her initial reluctance behind her, Guthrie found herself once again in Barrymore’s persuasive grip. This time, the Today Show anchor got a tattoo that carried deep sentimental value—small hearts drawn by her children, Vale (10) and Charley (8), inked onto her wrist.
“We made a little plan and then I told my daughter,” Guthrie shared. “I’m like, ‘Oh, I want you guys to draw little hearts and I’m gonna get a tattoo.’ And she’s like, ‘Mommy, every time you see Ms. Drew, you get a tattoo.’”
The moment was both heartwarming and entertaining, as audiences watched Guthrie embrace her new tattoo with excitement and appreciation.

Drew Barrymore’s Deeply Meaningful Tattoo Choice
Not one to let her guest go through the experience alone, Drew Barrymore also took the plunge and got a new tattoo herself. This time, she chose to ink the word “time” on her forearm—a simple yet profound reminder of life’s most valuable asset.
Barrymore’s inspiration came from an emotional interaction with an audience member named Jack. Jack had lost his partner and honored his memory with a dedicated bench, engraved with a quote from Barrymore’s iconic film Never Been Kissed.
Recalling their exchange, Barrymore said, “Jack described his late partner as someone who ‘didn’t waste time’ and ‘really made the most of his time.’” This struck a chord with the actress and talk show host, prompting her to embrace the meaningful word permanently.
“I’m getting the word ‘time.’ I realize now how important time is, how meaningful, how not to take it for granted,” Barrymore explained. “Time is our precious commodity. So I feel so grateful to get signs from whatever it is that gives you faith.”
The touching moment resonated deeply with audiences, proving once again that Barrymore’s show is not just about entertainment but also about authentic, heartfelt experiences.
