David Tennant has unveiled his first-ever tattoo, a touching tribute to his wife, Georgia Tennant, on her birthday. The actor, best known for his role in Doctor Who, shared a glimpse of the small but meaningful ‘G’ inked on his wrist, symbolizing his deep affection for his partner of over a decade.
Tennant and Georgia Tennant, a former Doctor Who co-star, have been married since 2011, after first meeting on the set of the Doctor Who episode “The Doctor’s Daughter.” The couple, who share five children, including Georgia’s son Ty Tennant, whom David adopted, have built a strong and loving family together.
The tattoo, which features a delicate ‘G’ in a font inspired by Georgia’s name, was done by renowned tattoo artist Sym Kang. In an Instagram post, Kang expressed their honor in creating the tattoo, describing it as a special homage to Georgia on her birthday.
“Cat’s out of the bag – it was an honor to make this special ‘G’, in the font Georgia, for David Tennant’s first tattoo,” Kang wrote. “A wonderful ode to @georgiatennantofficial for her birthday.”
Kang, who has previously inked a tattoo inspired by the Doctor Who series, mentioned that this piece marked a “full-circle moment” for them. Reflecting on their career, Kang shared their gratitude for Tennant and Georgia’s continued support for the LGBTQ+ community, calling it a “shining light” for them personally and professionally.
In addition to his personal milestone, David Tennant is also set to return as the host of the EE BAFTA Film Awards in 2025, following a successful debut in 2024. Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA, expressed excitement about Tennant’s return, praising his previous performance as “warm, witty, whip-smart, and with a delightful touch of mischief.”
“We couldn’t be happier that David Tennant is returning to host the EE BAFTA Film Awards in 2025,” Millichip said. “It is a privilege to share Britain’s biggest celebration of film with TV audiences worldwide and to recognize the extraordinary creativity of those who power the British and global film industry.”
Tennant’s personal and professional milestones continue to inspire both his fans and peers, highlighting the enduring power of love and dedication in his personal life, as well as his continued prominence in the entertainment industry.
