Anderson Cooper and his son are tatted up!
On Thursday, April 18, the journalist, 56, shared a cute photo to his Instagram Stories of some new temporary ink that he and son Wyatt, 3, got together. In the picture, the father and son show off their new dinosaur thigh tattoos.
On the left, Wyatt has two temporary tattoos, one of a pterodactyl and another of a sea animal. Cooper was inked with another dinosaur, which Wyatt pointed to in the picture.
“Always wanted a tattoo. Wyatt finally gave me one,” Cooper wrote in his caption.

Cooper shares his sons Wyatt and Sebastian, 2, with ex Benjamin Maisani.
In September, Cooper spoke with PEOPLE for a cover story about his two sons, sharing that they have their own adorable giggles.
“The kids have delicious giggles, but not the same as my mom and me so far,” said the journalist.
He also opened up about co-parenting with Maisani.
“This is the best time in my life,” he said. “There is no doubt about it. I feel moments of such bliss, humor and gentleness and sheer delight that it stuns me.”

Cooper lives with Maisani and the boys in Manhattan as well as at their New England country home. He shared that he’s been loving the “routine” at their place in Connecticut.
“We have the diner we go to every morning — they like the folks who run the diner very much,” Cooper continued. “And they love to swim. I love getting them ready for their afternoon nap and sitting with them and reading and then having them fall asleep in my arms. There’s nothing better.”
Cooper added that raising the boys with Maisani has been “very natural,” who dated the entrepreneur for many years until 2018.
“I work nights, and so he’s there at night. And we both wake up right before they wake up, get them their milk and spend the first couple of hours of the day just us with them,” Cooper told PEOPLE. “And Benjamin speaks French to them. I have no idea what they’re saying. I think they’re plotting against me.”
