You don’t need a special meaning behind a tattoo, but for many people—Jennifer Love Hewitt included—our ink is inspired by the people, places, and things that matter most. For example, in 2023, she got an important reminder, “the universe always provides,” tattooed on her forearm, and in 2024, she got a tribute to her show, 9-1-1, in the form of a phone on her wrist. And she just shared the latest addition to her collection, which may just be her most heartfelt yet.
On her Instagram Stories, Hewitt shared an artsy black-and-white photo of the back of her wrist. There, a few inches above a cluster of bracelets, is a new, super-dainty tattoo: four little hearts, each one drawn a little differently, a little imperfectly. But when you know why, it turns out they’re actually perfect.
“I had my husband and kids draw hearts for me,” Hewitt captioned the photo. “And now I can see them all the time.” How sweet is that?
Hewitt tagged and thanked Orange, California, tattoo artist Audrey Glass, known for both fine-line tattoos and cosmetic tattooing like microblading and freckles.

You have to admit, it’s a lovely idea. It’s very much in the same vein as handwriting tattoos, like Kylie Jenner’s tattoo of her grandmother’s name in her grandfather’s handwriting, and Demi Lovato’s tattoo of her mother’s handwriting, reading, “I love you more.” And tiny hearts? This is bound to be collected all over Pinterest.
The great news is, even if you copy the idea, the hearts will always be unique to the people drawing them—and that’s what makes this ink particularly special.
