David Tennant Opens Up About Getting His First Tattoo For Wife Georgia

David Tennant at last year's Baftas, which he hostedDavid Tennant has shared a very sweet story about going under the needle for the first time last year.Back in December, it was revealed that the former Doctor Who star had decided to have a “G” inked on his wrist in tribute to his wife, fellow actor Georgia Tennant, to commemorate her 40th birthday.And during his appearance on The Assembly – a unique interview series in which a celebrity guests faces a grilling from a panel of people with either autism, learning difficulties or other neurodivergences – he opened up about his first time going under the needle.“When we’re recording this, it’s about to be my wife’s 40th birthday,” he explained. “A few years ago, she got my name tattooed on her, and she has been banging on at me about getting a tattoo to match.“It’s never been something I’ve wanted to do – I don’t like needles – and I was really [unsure]. But, because it’s her 40th birthday, I just had [the tattoo] done.”Showing off the results of his first tattoo, he admitted: “I’ve been going around with a bandage on my wrist at home for the last few days, so she doesn’t know, so that I can reveal it as a birthday present.“I’m quite proud that I managed to sit and have that done without screaming or passing out – and that for the past few days, I’ve managed to pretend it hasn’t happened yet.”View this post on InstagramA post shared by Tennantverse ✨ (@tennantverse)He added: “That’s something I’m very proud of – that I haven’t told anyone about before this very moment. I haven’t even told my wife!”Elsewhere in his interview, David also spoke about his advocacy for the transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming community, as well as addressing Neil Gaiman’s departure from Good Omens for the first time.In fact, David went to a non-binary tattoo artist for his first ink, who wrote on Instagram afterwards: “As a queer non-binary artist, David and Georgia’s allyship and activism for our community has been a shining light and I’m very grateful to have curated this tattoo and look forward to continuing to make special tattoos for special people.”View this post on InstagramA post shared by Sym🇮🇳🇵🇰🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇵🇸 (@theflavouroftears)David Tennant’s full interview on The Assembly is available to watch now on ITVX.READ MORE:David Tennant Speaks Out About Neil Gaiman's Good Omens Exit After Sexual Abuse AllegationsDavid Tennant Shares His Take On JK Rowling As He Discusses His Allyship To Trans CommunityThis Is Why David Tennant's Joke About Donald Trump Was Cut From This Year's Baftas Broadcast
