He has so many tattoos that it is hard to keep count, with his total inkings hovering somewhere around the 30 mark.
But Harry Styles’ new tattoo is without a shadow of a doubt the most ostentatious yet.
The One Direction heartthrob has had a huge butterfly design etched across his stomach – and it takes up an enormous amount of room on the 19-year-old’s body.
The tattoo artist proudly posted a snap of Harry’s topless torso on his Flickr page in order to show off his handiwork on January 22.
While Harry’s face cannot be seen in the image, some of his other unique tattoos make the singer easily identifiable.
Harry’s long list of body art includes swallows, his sister’s name written in Hebrew, cities his band has performed in, crucifixes and 17Black, James Bond’s lucky gambling number.
He is yet to display the ink in public, or reveal his latest addition to fans on his Twitter page.
But as he celebrated his 19th birthday last month, a hint of the design could just be seen poking out between the buttons of Harry’s heart-printed shirt.
Harry did not have the tattoo when he went topless while on holiday in the Caribbean in early January.
It seems Harry has developed a penchant for having his body decorated with ink since hitting the big time after coming third on The X Factor with One Direction.
A year ago, he had no noticeable tattoos when he was seen shirtless as he vacationed in Sydney Harbour in April of last year.
Harry was last spotted at Art13 London’s VIP preview last week, dressed in a casual black T-shirt and matching skinny jeans.
The floppy-haired teen, who recently dated Taylor Swift, is said to have stood up model Millie Brady for a date he had set up with her last weekend.
According to reports, Harry, who is currently touring the UK, had arranged to meet Millie at Cardiff’s Kuku club on Saturday following their gig in the city.
However, despite Millie travelling in especially for to meet up with Harry, the teenage lothario is said to have decided not to attend.
