Gabby Petito posted Valentine’s Day tribute to Brian Laundrie as it’s revealed matching tattoos mean marriage & survival
GABBY Petito posted a Valentine’s Day tribute to her fiance Brian Laundrie showing off their matching tattoos.
The images show the couple enjoying dates and kissing as well as an image of two hands holding, one with a ring on the engagement finger.
In her post Gabby simply shared a white heart emoji along with five pictures of the pair.
Two of the images appear to be at the same location.
Another snap shows the two kissing, while a fourth picture shows Brian alone at a restaurant.
The fifth picture in the collection appears to be Brian and Gabby’s hands with a ring on her engagement finger.
Both hands have vine tattoos on them. Gabby’s leaves were a black outline, with negative space left in the leaves, while Brians’ design is filled in.
Vine tattoos reflect “strength, progress, partnership, endurance, promise, survival and friendship”, according to tattooseo.com.

It adds: “The vine tattoo also represents the ability to survive.
“In fact, the tougher the environment, the stronger the vine gets. Not only is the vine or person able to thrive in harsh environments, they can end up growing beautiful flowers that exhibit what was hiding all along.

“The person with the vine tattoo is someone you want on your side. They are a loyal friend and will stick by your side even if they know you are wrong.”
GABBY GOES MISSING
Gabby was reported missing by her family on September 11 after going missing while on a cross country trip with Brian.
Her body was discovered in a Wyoming national park on September 19.
Experts said she would have likely been identified by her tattoos after an initial autopsy found that the vlogger died as a result of homicide.
Brian has not been seen since his parents reported him missing on September 17. They told cops they had last seen him three days earlier.
Chris and Roberta Laundrie claim their son left home to go hiking in Carlton Reserve, near Venice, Florida.
He has been named as a “person of interest in the case.”
The FBI later issued a warrant for his arrest after he was accused of swiping a Capital One debit card and running up a $1,000 balance from August 31 until September 1.
On Tuesday Gabby’s family revealed their own tattoos in tribute to their daughter.
Both Gabby’s parents, Nicole Schmidt and Joe Petito, now have tattoos featuring the words “Let It Be” and “believe” in script, an ocean wave, and a triangle brimming over with flowers.
The “believe” and “Let It Be” tattoos serve as a somber reminder of Gabby’s faith, and the firm belief her parents professed in the early days of the search, that their daughter would come home.
The wave and flower tattoos signify Gabby’s appreciation of natural abundance.
Gabby’s father Joe also sported hand tattoos, which matched a design Gabby and fiancé Brian Laundrie both wore.
