Lewis Tan Favorite Things
- Passion – Tattoos having seen them as a part of his story similar to a diary disclosing how the ones on his fingers consisting of the words “grace” and “love” were actually in an old ex-girlfriend’s handwriting with whom he has continued being great friends and so the inking has represented the special feeling

- Lewis has revealed that he is a minimalist, which has been reflected in his approach to his bedroom, where there is no television and nothing on the walls. He has a low Japanese bed with a bright light glowing underneath it making it seem to be floating. He has put candles on either side of the bed, and nothing else in the room. Lewis has found the setup to be conducive to good sleep and has believed a bedroom should be kept simple and sacred.
