Shawn Mendes New Tattoo

Shawn Mendes loved a fan edit so much, he got it tattooed on him.

Last week, a fan named Kayla posted two photos of Mendes on Twitter sporting an intricately designed butterfly tattoo on his left arm. Kayla revealed that she edited the tattoo onto Mendes’s forearm using an app called Picsart and posted it with the caption, “Shawn mendes with a butterfly tattoo. I rest my case.”

Shawn saw the tweet and replied, “Wait this is awesome, can u DM the drawing??” The fan shared screenshots of Shawn messaging her, asking her how she managed to put the tattoo on his arm. He requested the artwork as well, which she sent him, along with the name of the artist who’d created the butterfly drawing she’d used for the photo.

On Friday during his show in Kansas City, Shawn said he might get the tattoo within a week.  By Sunday, he’d posted a photo on his Instagram Story of his tattoo artist inking the artwork onto his arm.

The ecstatic fan posted a photo of Shawn with his new tattoo. “Who would’ve thought that me messing around and editing a tattoo onto him would turn into a reality??? no words,” she wrote. The artist, Livia Tsang, who designed the butterfly drawing was also thrilled. The fan posted a screenshot of a conversation in which he wrote, “Are you the girl who edited the photo with my design? Thank you very much seriously!”
