While out in Rio De Janeiro Harry REPORTEDLY got this number on his cute little derriere. While this is traditionally a religious symbol, he has the pretty small ink in comparison to his others marked on his hand, like fellow pop star, Justin Bieber.

so, Haz, care to explain what's going on there? 16. He's never explained the appearance of three pretty ominous black nails on his arm, but they've been lurking there ever since 2013. Another inking in tribute to his family and showing just how close he is to them. The 'Gemma' tattooīack in 2012 Harry had his older sister's name Gemma tattooed in Hebrew onto his shoulder. It's rarely spotted, but in his incredible album artwork shot by Tim Walker, the fern is out in all of its glory. more risque tattoos are the fern leaf designs on his left and right hips which CANNOT help but draw attention to the boy band star's pelvis. Harry LOVES these sailor type tattoos, doesn't he? The letters 'SMCL' have also never been addressed, but fans have suggested it stands for Simon Cowell, the man, the myth, the legend, that put the boys together on X Factor.Ī classical tattoo that, for Harry, represents travelling and being out on the road all the time. The theatre masksĪnother tattoo on Harry's left side is this old-school design of classical theatre masks, showing just how dedicated Harry is to his job of entertaining people! Could this be a reference to feeling caged in by the press and his life in One Direction. On the left of Harry's rib cage Harry has another large design of a birdcage. While many think it's all about reminding him of his family back home, we reckon it's just a simple pun on wearing your heart on your sleeve! The black heartīack in December 2012, Harry had this heavy design inked onto his left bicep. While MANY fans speculated this was inked about ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift (after the man in her 'I Knew You Were Trouble' video had a very similar design), Harry insists its all about reminding him of travelling homeward when he's off on his trips around the globe. One of the One Direction star's most intricate designs is his traditional naval ship on his left bicep. a letter 'a' in tribute to his lovely mum Anne Cox! Going for son of the year there, Hazza?

The inking also covers up his old lettering of 'things I can't".ĭone way back in July 2012, Harry's most ADORABLE tattoo. The Holy Bibleįeatured on Harry's left forearm is an inking of the Holy Bible and, while Harry isn't outwardly religious, probably reminds the boy band of his home. Butterflies generally symbolise transformation and change, so perhaps Harry go this to show his evolution from a young boy band star. One of Harry's BIGGEST tattoos, the outstretched wings of the butterfly cover up Harry's delectable little torso (which is, admittedly, a shame). The old-school handshakeĪ symbol of equality, Harry's handshake tattoo basically makes us love him EVEN more. What does it mean? Your guess is as good as ours! 4. One of Harry's most unique tattoo designs, this one is on his left tricep and depicts a creepy looking skeleton man dressed up in a suit and fedora hat. Harry's tattoo of a naval anchor is on his left wrist and is a pretty standard design in the world of tattoo lovers, especially among the old-school sailor crowd! It was done to cover up his old "I can't change" tattoo, and we definitely like this one more than the removed design! When asked about the reason behind the tattoo, Harry simply told The Today Show, "because I am a mermaid". One of Harry's latest designs, the boy band star got a half-naked mermaid inked onto his left forearm back in November 2014. While it's pretty difficult to keep up with Hazza and his love of tattoos (at one point there seemed to be pretty much a new design every month these days), see below for our guide to Harry Styles most well-known tattoos and what they mean. Harry Styles at last count has 52 tattoos! Ever since One Direction hit the big time back in 2010, Harry has been steadily adding to an ever-growing collection of tattoos and inkings, with everything from song lyrics to tongue-in-cheek artwork.
