Nadine Lustre added minimalist ink to add to her growing tattoo collection. She went to 55 Tinta Studio to get new ink on her legs. She had the words “THAT’S IT” and “IT IS WHAT IT IS” on each leg. (Know more about her new tiny tattoos here.) These two tattoos bring her body ink count to a total of 14.

September 2020: Lotus flower

Nadine proved that big tattoos look pretty, too, when she got a lotus flower inked on her upper left arm. She explained in a vlog with Dr. Aivee that it symbolized her journey to finding herself.

July 2020: Friendship tattoos

Nadine got matching tattoos with her friends, stylist Lyn Alumno, and graphic designer and photographer Zon Lee. They had the word “nobrigado” which means “No, thank you.” It was to commemorate their Brazil trip in early 2020. Nadine got hers on the side of her foot, Lyn on her finger, and Zon opted to have it placed on the back of his arm.

March 2020: Komiya Nozomi tattoo

We spotted Nadine Lustre getting a new tattoo. Multi-functional grooming and lifestyle lounge Brooklyn Social tagged her on their IG stories, and we just had to snoop on everything.

Towards the end of the clip, you’ll see that the actress got Japanese characters inked on her arm.

Upon investigation, we saw that she had the exact characters on her IG Bio, too. It reads as “Nozomi Komiya” which is a Japanese name.

She discussed the meaning of Komiya Nozomi in an interview with Monster RX93.1 that was streamed on Facebook.

Nadine explained that she had “Komiya” inked because of her family lineage. She and her uncle were chatting about their family tree and she found out about the origin of their last name.

“He said that our last name would not have been Lustre. It’s Japanese, it’s Komiya. It’s my great great grandfather. I think he said he’s Japanese, that he moved here, married a Filipina but he ended up changing his last name to his business partner’s last name which is Lustre. It’s so crazy, right?” Nadine said.
