Actress Drew Barrymore opted to get some brand-new ink during an episode of her eponymous talk show, explaining that the phrase "home is where we are" is hugely significant. "I've been saying it to myself for the last five years," she said (via YouTube). "If you're somewhere on holiday, or you're in a rental, or you're in transition, or you have to move from one state to the next — if you're together, that's where home is."
The new design, done in cursive, sits on her forearm between an artistic scribble of a bird and the names of her two daughters, Olive and Frankie. In a follow-up video, shared on Instagram, a visibly emotional Barrymore admitted, "I never knew what home was until I had my daughters."
Referencing the various upheavals in her life over the years, the former child star revealed, "I thought, 'I'm gonna make us a home that will be forever and so strong,' and then life changed and our plans changed." Barrymore acknowledged that, when they were shuffling between different rental properties and she didn't know what the future held, "It really led to the discovery of what home really means for me — and that is if we are together, wherever we are, home is where we are."
This latest tattoo serves as a constant reminder that, no matter where they end up, Barrymore and her girls always have each other.
