‘Who’s that lucky lady tho,’ one eager fan asked, while another wrote, ‘but what does it represent? What’s the backstory?’
One fan had an idea of who the lady in the tattoo is: ‘probably someone special cause I don’t think shawn would just randomly get those tattoos cause it looks cute yk what i mean!’
Meanwhile someone else pointed out that the tat is art by a Puerto Rican artist Shawn recently started following. The fan noted Mendes has a new album coming out and that’s usually when he adds new ink to his body.
‘I hope this isn’t Shawn and a specific girl cause that beats getting someone’s name tattooed on yourself for stupidest tattoo,’ wrote another fan.
Mendes has gotten more than a dozen tattoos since he debuted the thin red line down the back of his neck on social media in April 2021.
Mendes had Good Boy tattooed below his elbow, believed to be a tribute to his dog Tarzan and Fe on his bicep, which is the Portuguese word for ‘faith (as well as the symbol for iron), in May 2021.
He also has ‘little sunflower’ tattooed on his torso, believed to be in honor of his ex-girlfriend Camila Cabello and Aaliyah Maria, his sister’s name, on his collarbone.
The Canadian musician’s first tattoo is also his most complicated and meaningful. He had it done in August 2016.
