The body art was done last weekend by tattoo artist Rick Coury at John Mayer’s 45th birthday party.
Last week, the actress posted a video tribute to her Instagram as she marked nine months after Bob’s death.
The clip showed the couple taking part in a couple’s challenge, the kind of videos she said they “had a blast making.”
“It feels like an eternity and also a day all at once,” she wrote in the caption.

“I love looking back at these videos to see how much joy and silliness and fun and love we shared,” she added.
Rizzo said there is still a “palpable hole where he used to be,” but “there are also days that are lighter now.”
Add: ‘The pain and sorrow ebb and flow and I still have a few days that just suck. But at the same time, he left SO much residual love and laughter that he still feels so close and present. It’s all quite a mystery.’
In the video, the pair take part in a couple’s push-up challenge, with the Full House star claiming to be the more protective, cleaner partner, but also the most annoying.
He also did a push-up because he was the one who was interested first. Both Rizzo and Saget were equal in that they liked the hardest, saying “I love you” first, eating the most, and spending the most money.
The couple married in 2018, after meeting through a mutual friend in 2015.

‘I wish he knew how much the world loved him when he was here,’ he said of his friend, and continued: ‘I spent many a night trying to convince him how much loved he really was (or maybe it was the other way around – he tried to convince me how loved he was). But that was just Bob blunder.
“He didn’t think his death would have such an impact. This is the kind of coverage that speaks to someone who is genuinely connected to people, not just for a moment, but for generations.”
