“Riverdale” has introduced us to quite a few of our favorite actors over the years, and if they’ve made one thing clear, it’s that they are lovers of body art – especially Camila Mendes. From joining her costars to get some best-friend ink in honor of the show ending to the whimsical fairy on her right shoulder, Mendes is a certified lover of straightforward fine-line designs that hold a deeper meaning.
Mendes got her very first tattoo, a simple script design that says “to build a home,” after getting sexually assaulted as a freshman at New York University. “I feel home, that’s been like my life motto,” Mendes previously told POPSUGAR. “I got a tattoo here that says ‘to build a home,’ which is one of my favorite songs. It partially had to do with moving around a lot as a kid never having a home, but also now . . . building a home within myself.”
The ink is located beneath her right breast and was the first of her now-three-piece collection. Her designs range from small portraits to larger, more eye-catching works of art. If you’re as curious about Mendes’s collection as we are, take a closer look at her tattoos ahead.
