After an amazing performance of “Treat You Better” for the first time, Shawn Mendes returned home for some well-deserved time off.
But, before he put on his cap and gown for his high school graduation, Shawn got a fresh tattoo on his arm! It looks like a sketched guitar, but upon closer look, there is much deeper meaning.

The tattoo, done by Livia Tsang at Chronic Ink Tattoos in his hometown, looks like a reflection of trees and the CN Tower, which is a huge landmark in Toronto. Shawn not only showed his Canadian pride in his tattoo, but also his love for his parents.
“It’s cool because the little sound wave right here is actually my parents saying ‘I love you,'” the singer revealed about the neck of the guitar.
Answering fans’ burning questions, artist Livia confirmed that Shawn didn’t shed a single tear throughout the entire process!
