Valerie Bertinelli and her son Wolfgang Van Halen took a heartfelt approach to celebrate Mother’s Day by getting matching tattoos. The 65-year-old celebrity chef shared a video on her Instagram on May 11, showing the two inking their skin together. In the caption, she expressed her love for Wolfgang, 34, calling him her “biggest blessing and most fulfilling joy.” Wolfgang humorously replied with a simple “Love you Maaaaaaaaaa.”
The video showcased tattoo artist Tokyo Hiro, who inked a small design resembling a globe or full moon near Bertinelli’s elbow to continue their tradition of matching tattoos. Nearly a decade ago, the mother-son pair had previously gotten tattoos of a family crest on their wrists, further solidifying their bond through body art.
Their close relationship extends into their professional lives as well; Bertinelli recently starred in the horror-themed music video for Wolfgang’s band, Mammoth WVH. The video features Wolfgang performing amidst a crowd of zombies and vampires, showcasing his impressive guitar skills. Bertinelli shared her excitement about the experience, highlighting the fun she had over the two days of filming and praising director Robert Rodriguez for his passion and teaching her how to throw a punch on camera.
This delightful exchange between mother and son not only illustrates their strong familial connection but also highlights their creative collaborations, making both their personal and professional lives more enriching. It’s heartwarming to see them support each other through art and love, a testament to the bonds that can flourish even in the public eye.
