“I present ‘Chrissyestiwren’ for the left arm,” wrote the 45-year-old in an Instagram post from August 26 next to pictures of his inner bicep, where the new body art is located. “If you zoom/squint/put on reading glasses, you can see it.”
John then explained the deeper meaning of the tattoo and its connection to his “growing family.”
“I don’t have a lot of ink on my body,” he continued. “My first tattoo was ‘chrissylunamiles’ in a subtle cursive heart rate-like font on my right arm to honor my growing family. So I asked @winterstone to come back and mirror it with the new babies.”
Although John noted that he only has a small collection of tattoos, the “All of Me” singer and Cravings Cookbook authors have another meaningful award with which they honor their children.

“Luna drew me this butterfly today and it seemed fitting to make it permanent,” Chrissy wrote in a 2021 Instagram post, explaining the meaning. “I wanted @winterstone to move it and center it due to issues I also discuss in therapy, but in the end we decided to leave it exactly where it belongs. A little imperfect, a little messy, but damn, she’s here to stay.”
