Demi Lovato has unveiled a meaningful new tattoo.
Last week, the 27-year-old revealed her friend Thomas Trussell III had passed away, and alluded in her social media tribute it had to do with addiction. Now, the Confident singer is honoring her pal with something permanent.

Late Monday evening, the former Disney star debuted her sentimental ink via Instagram, writing:
“A T for Tommy. RIP you special angel. Love you forever @sirtruss 🖤💔 thank you for the ink @rafael_valdez.. it’s beautiful and I’m so grateful for this 🙏🏼🙌🏼”
Ch-ch-check out her touching tat (below), which appears to be on the Grammy nominee’s right forearm:
When first sharing the tragic news of his passing, Miz Lovato penned a note (below) along with a photo of her late friend:
“Devastated. Please hold your loved ones tight. Tell them they are special and that you love them. Make sure they know it. RIP to my boo @sirtruss”
Shortly after, she uploaded a second post (below):
“Addiction is NO joke.. heaven gained this beautiful angel last night because of that terrible disease. I’m crushed and will always miss you @sirtruss. If you or someone you know is struggling please know it’s okay to ask for help.”
It is unclear how the two came to be friends, but Demi has been open about her own struggles with addiction in the past. On July 24, 2018, the Sorry Not Sorry singer was found unconscious in her El Lay home after an apparent overdose. She was hospitalized for two weeks and later entered an in-patient rehab facility.
The following month, the performer broke her social media silence, sharing with her followers (below):
“I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet,. I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety and road to recovery. The love you have all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out on the other side. I will keep fighting.”
R.I.P. to her dear friend.
