Shawn Mendes Gets a Butterfly Tattoo After a Fan Suggests It
Earlier this month, a fan of the 20-year-old singer took to Twitter to share a Photoshopped image of Mendes rocking a butterfly tattoo on his arm. The “Senorita” singer noticed the edited pic and retweeted the image, even asking the fan who shared the shots to send him the original drawing.
The social media user then received a DM from Mendes himself, once again asking for an image of the tattoo and questioning how she managed to get the butterfly on a photo of him. In screenshots from their DM conversation, the fan explained the app that she used and offered to send Mendes her work again.
Following the exchange, Mendes decided he liked the design, which was by Chilean tattoo artist @macdreaper, enough to move forward with getting the ink. On Monday, Mendes’ tattoo artist, Livia Tsang, took to Instagram to show of Mendes’ new butterfly design.
” For the best @shawnmendes,” Based on an edit from a fan, original art by @macdreaper ,” Tsang captioned pics of the design.
“Thank you @shawnmendes for making my work look cool ,” she added in a second post.
During a meet and greet at the Dallas stop of his tour, Mendes told fans there’s no specific meaning to his new ink. “I just think it’s cool,” he said, according to an Instagram Live video posted by @smendesking. “Sometimes that’s meaning enough.”
