One of Zayn Malik's earliest tattoos is the giant Zap! inside a splat on his right arm. The splat was originally filled in with red, but he had it coloured over with black later. He said back in 2012 when he got it that he and former bandmate Louis Tomlinson were captain zappers and the rest of the group were just on the board of directors. It's a fitting nod to his love of comic books.
