Vanna White has chosen her daughter, Gigi Santo Pietro, to give her the honor of getting her very first tattoo.
The Wheel of Fortune host, who was recently given a new nickname by Ryan Seacrest, has more free time on her hands since she only works 34 days a year. To fill some of her extra time, Vanna decided to visit a tattoo parlor.
On Monday night, Vanna shared an Instagram post revealing her first tattoo: a heart on her wrist, done by none other than Gigi, who works at Lincoln Tattoo Company in Venice, CA.
As she shared the experience, Vanna made sure to clarify, “She’s not making me do this. It’s my choice to do this.” In a playful moment, Gigi mouthed, “I made her.”
Vanna explained that she had been wanting to get a tattoo for a long time, with the hardest part being choosing the design and color. However, once she was seated in the tattoo chair, she began to feel nervous.
“I can feel you shaking,” Gigi told her. “Just relax.”
Vanna responded, “I might pass out.” But her anxiety quickly faded, and she confessed, “I don’t feel anything.”
Afterward, Vanna was thrilled with the result, saying, “It looks perfect. It’s just what I wanted.”
She captioned her video: “I finally got my first tattoo, given to me by my talented daughter @gigisantopietro!! I will think of her every time I look at it.”
Fans couldn’t help but express their admiration for the touching moment between mother and daughter.
One fan commented, “This is great! Such a nice connection with mom and daughter!”
Another wrote, “What a fun mother-daughter moment!”
A third said, “This was adorable! I love that your daughter gave you a heart tattoo! So sweet.”
Even her Wheel of Fortune co-host, Ryan Seacrest, chimed in with, “Love it. Now this is making me want one…”
Vanna has two children: Gigi and son Nikko, who recently made a rare appearance on Vanna’s Instagram, causing quite a stir online. Vanna shares her children with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro, whom she divorced in 2002, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
