The inks feature an Aramaic phrase that is translated to mean “unconditional love.” They both got the design tattooed before Ian began his studies at college. King revealed the backstory behind their shared tattoo, stating that she and her son picked it after studying Kabbalah together.
In 2017, while appearing on The View, she said: “He suggested that we each choose three designs and not tell the other which ones they are, with the method being whichever one is matching. We both picked unconditional love.”
