Actress and television personality Valerie Bertinelli marked Mother’s Day in a meaningful and personal way this year, sharing a tattoo session with her son, musician Wolfgang Van Halen. The intimate family moment was captured in a series of photos and videos posted to Bertinelli’s Instagram on May 11, offering fans a glimpse into their celebration.
In the first image, Bertinelli and Wolfgang are seen posing together, smiling warmly for the camera. Wolfgang, the son of late rock legend Eddie Van Halen, sports a full beard and mustache, while Bertinelli dons a stylish newsboy cap and round glasses, exuding a casual, relaxed vibe.
The accompanying video shows Bertinelli in the tattoo chair as an artist works on updating her ink. The atmosphere remains lighthearted, with The Cranberries’ hit song “Dreams” playing softly in the background. At one point, the tattoo artist playfully mutters “whoops,” sparking a burst of laughter from Bertinelli, who takes the moment in good humor.
The clip concludes with a touching gesture as Valerie and Wolfgang proudly display their freshly updated tattoos, pressing their arms side by side to showcase the matching designs. While the specific details of the tattoos were not revealed, the shared experience highlighted the close bond between mother and son.
Earlier that same day, Bertinelli, Wolfgang, and director Robert Rodriguez also took to Instagram to celebrate a professional milestone. They announced that the music video for “The End,” a single by Wolfgang’s band Mammoth WVH, had officially surpassed one million views. The achievement added an extra layer of joy to their Mother’s Day festivities.
Bertinelli, known for her acting roles and as a Food Network host, has been open about her close relationship with her son, often sharing personal moments with him on social media. Wolfgang has continued to build his own musical legacy, carrying forward the Van Halen name with his band while carving out his own identity as a respected artist.
Their shared tattoo experience on Mother’s Day not only commemorated their bond but also resonated with fans who have followed their journey through both personal and professional highs and lows.
