Tattoo artist asks Heated Rivalry fans to respect boundaries

Published 24 September 2026

Katelyn Rose Larson, a tattoo artist and the girlfriend of actor Hudson Williams, asked fans of the series Heated Rivalry to stop booking appointments at her studio solely to seek information about her or Williams. She said people had crossed boundaries by questioning her coworkers about the couple, describing the conduct as uncomfortable for everyone at the studio. Larson made the comments in an Instagram Story, according to reports quoting her statement. She said fans who genuinely appreciate the studio’s art and want tattoos are welcome, but objected to appointments made only because of her connection to the show. She also asked people not to use visits to the studio to try to learn personal details about her or Williams. The reports do not establish how many people booked appointments for that reason, how often coworkers were questioned or whether the visits occurred in the circumstances Larson described. Her Instagram Story is no longer available, and the account of the boundary-crossing rests on her statement rather than independent confirmation. Larson’s appeal comes as Williams has gained attention through Heated Rivalry, a romance series released in 2025.
