She also got 3 tattoos for her children, Drew Hazel, Jett James and Barrett Madison
Shawn Johnson should win the gold medal for best wife and mom.
The American gymnast, 32, told her followers on Instagram that she “did a few things” when she wasn’t on parenting duty for the day, and later revealed that she casually got five new tattoos all over her body – and in one go!
Johnson worked with studio Tiny Tat Club on her collection of brand new inks, which were mostly dedicated to her husband, Andrew East, and their three little ones: daughter Drew Hazel, 4, and sons Jett James, 2, and Barrett Madison East, who welcomed the couple in December.

In videos shared on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, the retired athlete revealed that she had two of her children’s names tattooed on both elbows and a third on her triceps, as well as a small cursive “a” for East, 32. She also got a cute illustration of a bee near one of his wrists.
Before the big reveal, she posted a video of herself during a studio session with the caption: “I did something – maybe a few things.”

Johnson met East, a retired NFL player, shortly after she retired in 2012 and they married in 2016 in Tennessee.
The couple welcomed Hazel in 2019. In 2021, they got a Jetta. When Johnson gave birth to Barrett — affectionately known as Bear — via C-section last year, she and East said they couldn’t be more “thrilled” with the addition of their family, as revealed in a statement to PEOPLE. “Both baby and mom are doing great, and we’re counting our blessings!”

Johnson also lashed out at her husband in January, writing that she loves “living” with him.
“Things my husband doesn’t know,” she wrote on her Instagram. – I am counting the hours until he comes home because I miss him.
She explained that she loves “the way she lights up our home with her presence” and “the way she loves me and our children.”
“I like the way he handles my attitude with grace,” she concluded. – The little things he does will never go unnoticed.
