Vanna White can cross getting a tattoo off her bucket list.
The 68-year-old « Wheel of Fortune » co-host posted an Instagram video on Monday, in which she can be seen visiting her daughter, tattoo artist Giovanna « Gigi » Santo Pietro, 28, to get her very first tattoo.
« She’s not making me do this. It’s my choice, » White can be heard saying in the video before heading into Lincoln Tattoo Company in Venice, California, with her daughter.
In the behind-the-scenes video, White told Gigi, who she shares with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro, that she decided to get a tattoo of a heart on her wrist so that she « can look at it every day » and remember her daughter, since she would have been the one to do the tattoo.

While picking the shape and color of the heart, White appeared nervous, telling her daughter, « I’m shaking, » before ultimately deciding on a shade of pink for the outline, which she described as having « a little salmon in it too. »
Although White initially said, « I don’t if I can watch. I might pass out, » when her daughter got started on the tattoo, she mouthed « I don’t feel anything » to the camera, and told her daughter she felt « nothing » when asked what she would compare the pain to. « I’ve been wanting to do this for a really long time. I really have. I’m so happy, » she added.

« It looks perfect. It’s just what I wanted, » she told Gigi when the whole process was complete, adding in the caption, « I will think of her every time I look at it. »
Her « Wheel of Fortune » co-host, Ryan Seacrest, took to the comments section to show his support, writing « Love it. Now this is making me want one… »

Along with Gigi, White shares her son, Nikko, 30, with her ex-husband. Her son recently got a lot of attention after White posted a video of the two of them cooking dinner together on her Instagram in late 2024.
« I recently posted a video of me and my son, Nikko, cooking, and it got a lot of response, » she said on an episode of « Wheel of Fortune » in January. « I don’t get it. »
Seacrest then had to step in and explain « the kids are calling Nikko a thirst trap, » adding the white shirt he was wearing in the video was a little snug, joking « he went to the Baby Gap to buy that shirt. » He assured White that this was a good thing, telling her people « found him strikingly good-looking. »
Some of the comments under White’s post included « Vanna where have you been hiding Nikko ? He’s GORGEOUS, » and « Your son is hot!!! »

Nikko addressed the attention himself in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, telling the outlet the attention he received was « flattering. »
« People see me as this heartthrob, and they’re thirsty for me and all this stuff, » he explained. « I love it all, but at the same time, it’s really good to remember the meaningful things in life and just kind of dial it back, doing a lot of charity work, working hard every day. »
