Days of Our Lives’ Linsey Godfrey has tattoos for survival, family, mental health, unicorns, robots, and one pun that sounds like it escaped from a picnic basket after three lemonades. The Sarah actress took fans through her ink in a new DAYS video, and the whole thing had heart, silliness, and the very specific energy of someone who knows some of her tattoos are meaningful, but also knows one of them is just there because she likes robots.
Key Takeaways
- Linsey Godfrey shared the stories behind her tattoos in a new DAYS Instagram video.
- Her most personal ink includes tributes to cancer remission, mental health, her mom, and her daughter.
- Godfrey also showed off lighter tattoos, including a unicorn, a robot, a dinosaur, and a pun tattoo.
- Fans loved the mix of heart and humor.
A Tattoo Tour With Robots And Unicorns
The DAYS official Instagram page posted the video with the caption, “DOOL Tattoo Tours, Episode 3: Linsey Godfrey is taking us through her tattoos and the stories behind them. With robots 🤖, unicorns🦄, and plenty of personality, this tour is a fun one. Which one stands out to you most? Drop your pick in the comments, and let us know if you have a tattoo with a fun story. More Tattoo Tours coming soon.”
The video showed Godfrey displaying each tattoo while explaining the stories behind them, starting with the cancer ribbon on the back of her neck.
Godfrey said her first tattoo marked “my three-year anniversary of being in remission from Hodgkin’s lymphoma,” adding, “If you don’t know, I’m a cancer survivor. I had stage three Hodgkin’s lymphoma.” She explained that she is now “19 years in remission,” and that she drew the tattoo herself before getting it to match her mom and sisters’ tattoos.
She also showed the Roman numeral three on her wrist, explaining, “I am the third child of three kids. I was stage three cancer. Three is my favorite number.”
Then came the rib tattoo tied to mental health, which reads, “Love has the patience to endure the faults we cannot cure.” Godfrey said her mother kept that saying on the fridge while she was going through chemo, which is quite a bit heavier than the robot portion of the tour.

The Stories Got Sweeter And Sillier
Godfrey also joked about following DAYS’ Robert Scott Wilson, who previously showed his tattoos in the series. “I love that I’m doing this after Rob, where he’s like, ‘This deep meaning, this deep meaning,’ and I’m like, ‘I have a unicorn!’ ” she said. After that came the unicorn matching her niece Emmy, a croquet ball and leaf pun for “I love you like you wooden ball leaf,” and the robot, which had a wonderfully simple explanation: “Why? I like robots, that’s why.”
Her most personal tattoos were based on family handwriting. Godfrey showed her mother’s handwriting, which says, “I love you always,” and then shared her favorite tattoo, her daughter’s first name written in her own handwriting at age five, followed by her middle name from when she was 10. Godfrey said she plans to add her daughter’s nickname when she is 15, then showed a ladybug that “just kind of looks like a circle” and a dinosaur matching her niece Bella.
Fans loved the tour, and one follower asked, “@ohmygodfrey, didn’t you say you had something about Ernest?” Godfrey hilariously replied, “@julie_p_arbonne, Don’t give me any ideas!”
Another fan summed it up nicely, writing, “Hates following Rob bc his are ‘so serious’ ” and hers ‘are not.’ Also starts with an homage to her cancer survival, nod to mental health, and mother’s handwriting. ❤️.” That really was the whole tour in one sentence: funny, personal, and somehow still looking for tattoo number 13.
