Wait, there’s more
Surprisingly, Miley is not the only one who convinced Shaun to get a tattoo. Shaun was once inspired by a ring that he had purchased from a Native American store in Colorado; however, he was going to paint it on his amp.
But his friend persuaded him to get it inked instead, and inspired by the symbol on the ring of clouds and thunder, Shaun got it tattooed. Apart from these two, White also has a tattoo of a lion and jungle scene on his right shoulder.
