DeLauro Gets Another Tattoo

September 21, 2026 Press Release Two Granddaughters, Two Tattoos Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) announced she received another tattoo to mark her granddaughter Sadie’s 18 th birthday: “One tattoo was a story – two is now tradition, and one I am so happy to carry on to show my love for my grandchildren. After my first tattoo for my granddaughter Rigby’s 18 th birthday, my granddaughter Sadie asked that I get another for hers. I said absolutely. When Sadie was a baby, she'd lift her head like a little bird coming out of a nest, my le petit oiseau, French for little bird. That is why my new tattoo is a swallow.” Joe Capobianco, owner of Hope Tattoo Gallery in New Haven, gave DeLauro the new ink. DeLauro received her first tattoo in 2023 with her granddaughter Rigby. “I am thankful to Joe and Hope Tattoo Gallery for a beautiful new piece of body art,” DeLauro said. “People keep asking me if there will be more tattoos to come. I have more grandchildren, so the answer is probably yes. And every one of them will be worth it.” Image
