Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager foresee the same tattoos in their future.
During their segment on Friday’s episode Today hosts discussed the possibility of getting friendship ink, inspired by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s enduring dedication Wicked.
“What if we have the same tattoos? What if we really did it?” Kotbe, 59, asked after Bush Hager revealed that she once came close to getting “Choose Joy” arm tattoos with her high school best friends.
“Are you serious?” – asked 42-year-old Bush Hager.

The friends and co-hosts began planning their designs, which would eventually mark their first tattoos.
Possible option: hand tattoo of a wave — drawn by their children! Kotb is a mother of two to her adopted daughters, Haley Joy and Hope Catherine, while Bush Hager shares daughters Mila and Poppy and son Hal with husband Henry Chase Hager.
“Is that cheesy?” Bush Hager asked, with an instant “Yes” from Kotb.

They also considered emblazoning their little ones’ initials on their bodies, which could lead to confusion.
“Do you know the names of my children? MPH,” said Bush Hager, Kotb noting that her children’s initials are “H [and] H.”
The unlikely letter combinations, the ladies realized, could also mean “miles per hour” and “H squared.”
So it’s back to the drawing board!

Bush Hager is not new to the concept of body art and has come close to making the deal on more than one occasion.
In an episode aired in September, the journalist admitted that she once considered getting a tattoo of the popular Destiny’s Child song to mark the end of a long-term relationship again, again.
“I ended up reconnecting with that person about 47 times,” she said. “But my friend Tracy said, ‘Enough is enough. Get up.’ And we went out and danced and I almost got ‘Survivor’ tattooed on my back.” In Bush Hager’s defense, the song was a hit.
