The Young and the Restless fans are buzzing after Crew Morrow, son of longtime series star Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman), unveiled a bold new tattoo — and an even bolder message behind it. The actor’s son posted a black-and-white photo on Instagram this week showing off a striking chest tattoo that reads “October Sun”, instantly sparking curiosity among fans and followers alike.

While the image itself drew plenty of attention, it was Crew’s heartfelt caption that truly set social media ablaze. In his post, he revealed that the tattoo was part of a long-running personal tradition — one that involves giving his mother edgy, unconventional gifts that reflect his love and creativity. “Some people buy flowers,” Crew wrote. “I like to give my mom something she’ll never forget. This one’s for you — October Sun.”

Fans quickly connected the dots, noting that October is reportedly a meaningful month for the Morrow family, believed to mark his mother’s birthday. The tribute — raw, artistic, and deeply personal — has been hailed as both rebellious and beautiful, perfectly capturing Crew’s artistic spirit.

The black-and-white photo, which showcases Crew shirtless with the words etched just above his heart, radiates both vulnerability and strength. In the comments, Joshua Morrow’s The Young and the Restless co-stars flooded the post with support, admiration, and a few playful jabs. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” one castmate quipped, while another wrote, “Nick Newman would be proud.”

This isn’t the first time Crew has made headlines for his creative flair and bold personality. In recent interviews, Joshua Morrow has spoken proudly of his son’s individuality, calling him “fearless and full of heart.” Crew has previously gifted his mom with other unexpected tokens — including a restored vintage motorcycle and handwritten lyrics — each representing a piece of his evolving artistic identity.

The October Sun tattoo appears to be the most personal yet, blending poetic symbolism with emotional sincerity. Fans are now speculating whether the phrase may also tie into an upcoming creative project, as Crew has teased new music and photography collaborations in recent months.

Whatever its full meaning, the gesture has struck a chord with The Young and the Restless fanbase, many of whom praised Crew for his sincerity and devotion. “It’s rare to see that kind of emotional honesty from someone so young,” one fan commented. “He’s got his dad’s charisma but his own fire.”

Joshua Morrow, who has portrayed Nick Newman since 1994, has not publicly commented on the tattoo yet, but fans are already waiting for his response — perhaps with a touch of fatherly humor.

One thing is clear: Crew Morrow’s latest tribute has turned what could have been a simple Mother’s Day post into a viral moment of raw emotion and artistry. Like father, like son — a mix of heart, strength, and undeniable flair.
