September 2020: Lotus flower

July 2020: Friendship tattoos
Nadine got matching tattoos with her friends, stylist Lyn Alumno, and graphic designer and photographer Zon Lee.

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.
