Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes became famous for the song covers that he uploaded to the video-sharing application Vine. Shawn’s Vine videos paved the way to his debut single, Life of the Party, which made it to the 24th spot on the Billboard Top 100. This made him the youngest artist to reach this spot at 15 years old. He was often called the next Bieber, but his music style was different and had a more Ed Sheeran vibe.

Aside from his love for music, he reportedly also has a huge degree of appreciation for visual art, which can is seen in his tattoos. Behind his ear is a small “A”. Like he told his fans, this was something he wanted to do for a while. The “A” behind his ear stands for his sister’s name, Aaliyah. Another is a butterfly on her upper arm. This is perhaps one of the most meaningful tattoos a celebrity can have. Originally designed and photoshopped by a fan, the singer was impressed and asked for the original design. He later had the piece tattooed on himself, which no doubt brought the designer great joy.
