The new addition is an illustration of an open oyster with a pearl — which she noted is both her Riverdale character Veronica Lodge’s birthstone, as well as her own. Her tattoo artist, Kaiju.Ink on Instagramposted a photoof the completed design on Mendes’ inner arm on the inside of her right elbow.

Each tattoo has a special meaning to the star, who revealed that she got her initial “build a home” tattoo after experiencing sexual assault while attending New York Univeristy’s Tisch School, with the words working as a reminder to her to move past the traumatic event and build a life she wanted, perInStyle.
