On Tuesday, White excitedly took to her Instagram account to share a reel detailing moments when she got her first tattoo from her daughter Gigi.

White, best known for her role on the show “Wheel of Fortune,” will be seen walking into the tattoo parlor before meeting Gigi on the doorway where they exchanged pleasantries.

She clarified that Gigi didn’t make her “do that,” adding that it was “my alternative to do that.”

White explained that she decided to get the ink on the inside her wrist so she could “have a look at it day by day.”

Nonetheless, making up her mind on which “heart” and “color” to get was seemingly daunting as she admitted it was the “hard part.”

Gigi told her there have been “many sizes and styles” for her to choose from before she finally settled for pink, explaining that she loves the colour.

The camera then panned to the moment White was seated in her chair as her wrist was disinfected and prepped. She admitted that she was “nervous” in regards to the experience.

“I can feel you shaking. No stress, no pressure,” Gigi tried to calm her mom before the TV star said she couldn’t watch and “might pass out.”
