Shawn Mendes might be riding high in the charts with his latest collaboration with Camila Cabello, but he's also found time to get a very unique tattoo and show it off to his fans.

The 'Señorita' pop star has taken to Instagram to reveal to fans the intricate tattoo design, which is in the shape of a butterfly, with one wing made up of detailed flower shapes. And it turns out that Shawn latest tattoo was actually designed by a fan!

Last week, a fan posted an edited photo of Shawn with a 'butterfly tattoo', saying, 'shawn mendes with a butterfly tattoo. i rest my case.' sic Shawn saw the tweet and asked if they could, 'DM the drawing'!

Then, it's understood that after chatting to the original artist for a bit, Shawn got the original drawing and ended up getting the tattoo in the place showed on the edited pic!

The artist then posted a photo of the very detailed design to Instagram, which shows the right-hand side of the butterfly full of intricate flowers, saying, 'I thank you very much for all the messages of love that you have sent me and for appreciating and sharing my art.'

Shawn's tattoo artist also showed off their handiwork, tagging in the original artist saying, 'For the best @shawnmendes Based on an edit from a fan, original art by @macdreaper'.

Meanwhile, in the music world, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello have recently teamed up for their amazing single, 'Señorita'. The Latin-inspired song features both Shawn and Camila in the steamy music video, which sees the pair dancing together before riding on a motorbike through the streets of a big city.

Little Mix Star Jesy Nelson has a number of tattoos across her body, including the symbols from a deck of cards on the fingers on her left hand. The pop star also recently had three new tattoos, including one on her face.

Brooklyn Beckham

David Beckham is reported to have over 40 different inkings on his skin, and his son Brooklyn is on track to surpass him as he apparently already has around 20 tats.
In 2018, Brooklyn had a tattoo which shows a group of cherubs frolicking in the clouds, a similar picture to one that David has on his own chest.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber has a heavily tattooed body as the photo shows. The pop star took to Instagram to reveal it took over 100 hours worth of work to turn his torso into a 'canvas'.

Louis Tomlinson

One Direction's Louis Tomlinson has a many tattoos all over his body. In 2018 he got a tattoo done by fellow X Factor judge, Robbie Williams.

Selena Gomez already has a number of tattoos including one in an Arabic font on her back. In 2018 she had matching tattoos with her friends, revealing the lovely reason behind the four friends having the number four tattooed on their bodies. Selena said, 'you are my 4 for the rest of my life. I love you ladies.'

Tom Hardy

In January 2018, Tom Hardy proved he's a man of his word and finally got the tattoo he promised his friend Leonardo DiCaprio he'd get, if Leo won an Oscar.
