The R&B singer posted the image to her Instagram Story on Monday, October 26, showing large lettering that seemingly spells out “KEYSHIA.” The Skrilla tattoo immediately became another development in the pair’s increasingly public connection.
Cole appeared pleased with the gesture, adding two messages across the photo.
“Ok !!!” she wrote, followed by “Let that be known.”
While Cole did not provide additional details about the tattoo, her reaction suggested she approved of having her name displayed so prominently. Neither artist has publicly explained when the ink was done or what inspired the decision.
The apparent tribute follows months of speculation about Keyshia Cole and Skrilla’s relationship.
According to XXL, the two fueled dating rumors in July 2026 after sharing several intimate photos on Instagram. One image showed Cole embracing Skrilla from behind as he snapped a bathroom mirror selfie. She captioned that post “Yup.”
Skrilla also shared photos featuring the singer during a nightclub outing and while spending time together on a yacht.
Their public displays of affection continued when Cole showed off flowers and a romantic message on social media. On July 28, the singer shared a bouquet of roses and chocolates, followed by a note reading “Love u beautiful. XOXO.”
In 2025, Cole publicly discussed having a tattoo dedicated to her former boyfriend, rapper Hunxho.
Now, the singer appears to be on the receiving end of a similar romantic gesture, with Skrilla seemingly choosing to display her name on his own body.
Although the photo does not establish the couple’s relationship status, Cole’s enthusiastic response leaves little doubt that she appreciated what she saw.
