It seems like Hollywood has a bit of tattoo fever [2]. Over the weekend, "Riverdale [3]" actor Camila Mendes [4] became the latest celebrity to show off her 2022 ink [5], and the adorably whimsical design is a scene stealer. (Appropriate, given the fact that she won this exact accolade at the Teen Choice Awards.)
Mendes's design, done by tattoo artist Kaiju [6], is a detailed portrait of a fairy on the back of her shoulder. It's done in fine lines using a single needle. While this is not Mendes's first tattoo [7], it is certainly her largest one to date, and though we can't say for certain, if she's anything like her "Riverdale [8]" costars Lili Reinhart [9] and Vanessa Morgan [10], it likely won't be her last. We don't yet know the meaning of Mendes's newest piece of ink, but she got her previous tattoo — the phrase "to build a home" in cursive lettering — after she was sexually assaulted in college, according to an interview with "Women's Health [11]."
Mendes joins celebrities like Demi Lovato [12], Selena Gomez [13], and Romeo Beckham in getting statement tattoos to welcome 2022, and she's remaining right on trend as fine-line designs have been predicted to continue to be a popular choice in the upcoming year. Take a closer look at Mendes's design ahead.
