Brooke Shields she’s not a normal mom, she’s a “cool mom” — at least according to her daughter’s latest Instagram post.
The actress’ daughter Rowan, 21, shared a photo of the couple’s matching tattoos through her Instagram story on Saturday, January 4 by typing “Mother/Daughter Connection.”
The tattoos, which appear to be inked on the women’s left forearms, read: “and to party.” The post tagged East Side Ink and the tattoo artist Matt Gutierrez.
Shields, 59, also shared the photo to her story with the caption: “Another tattoo with my bug 🐞.”
The duo got to celebrate Rowan’s graduation in 2021 matching ladybug tattoo. Shields got it on the inside of her left wrist, while Rowan chose to expose her new ink on the back of her left ankle.
“A special graduation present and memory with my girl 🐞 So proud of you, love you more than words can say,” Shields wrote Instagram photos from that time.
Brooke Shields is a successful actress, model and author, but her favorite gig is being a mom.

Earlier this year, Shields also shared the inspiration behind another set of matching tattoos — this time with her youngest daughter Grier, 18. (Both Rowan and Grier share a husband Chris Henchy.)
The tattoowhich is placed on Grier’s wrist and Shields’ forearm, shows two sets of feet (one small, one large) on the same pair of heels. It’s supposed to represent Grier stepping into her mom’s shoes. (Grier, an aspiring model, walked her first runway show at New York Fashion Week during Tommy Hilfiger presentation in September).

Shields got vulnerable on Instagram last summer after ditching her girls in college and officially becoming “empty nest.” Rowan attends Wake Forest University, while Grier just started her freshman year at the North Carolina school.
“At least they’re together,” an emotional Shields said as she wiped tears from her eyes in a video posted to Instagram in August. “It’s not easy. It’s not easy for mothers. I mean it’s so weird. It’s so weird that (Grier) isn’t here.”
Shields said they both cried goodbye before letting out a big sigh. “Both of my baby birds have left the nest 🪺😫🪹,” she captioned the video.
“Oh Brooke, it’s so hard” Debra Messing commented on the post. “It’s the end of an era and now you can start a new chapter.” But first you have to cry. Many. I lay on the couch for 3 weeks and couldn’t talk to anyone. Be gentle with yourself. It’s hard because it’s hard. All of us empty nesters send you love.❤️.”
“True words!” Melissa Joan Hart also commented. “It’s so hard for moms when our kids fly away, but if we’ve done our job, that’s the goal! ❤️❤️.”
