We've only scratched the surface of Zayn Malik's tattoos and I'm not even sure I know all of the ones he has! He just has so many. Here are the others that I do know he has that we haven't already covered:
- Castle: Zayn has a huge castle piece on his back that we very rarely get to see since we don't often catch a shirtless glimpse. You can sort of see it in this picture here.
- Fantail bird: Also on Zayn's back is a fantail bird. It's at the top of his back, so it sometimes peeks out of the back of his shirts. You can see the top of it in the photo above of the back of his head. It's actually a New Zealand fantail bird that he reportedly got while in New Zealand.
- Stereo: On the inside of Zayn's right arm, he has a stereo tattooed.
- Ink splatter: On that same arm is an ink splatter near his wrist. Zayn very much enjoys art, so this feels like a fitting nod to his hobby.
- Microphone: While still in One Direction, Zayn got a microphone on his right arm as well, near the stereo.
- Lightning bolt and shapes: Hidden among the rest of the ink on Zayn's right arm are a lightning bolt outline and some other geometric shapes. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to these other than that they add to his sleeve design.
- Skull: There's yet another skull on Zayn's right arm, making for three human skull tattoos on his body.
- Pink Floyd logo: On the inside of Zayn's upper right arm, he has the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon logo.
- Friday: On Zayn's right collarbone, he has the word "Friday?" tattooed and it's supposedly because he used to always ask the boys in One Direction if it was Friday.
- Crisscross: There is a sketch of a crisscross on Zayn's right leg.
- Screws: On the inside of each of Zayn's ankles, he has small "X"s to look like the heads of screws. Each of the members of One Direction, minus Niall Horan, got these tattoos for unity and to help each other stay grounded.
- SGT: Zayn's left arm has the letters "SGT" for his single "Still Got Time."
- Kahil Gabran poem: In 2020, Zayn debuted the text from the Kahil Gabran poem "On Love and Marriage" on his left arm. Though he hasn't said anything about it, fans were quick to assume it was a nod to Gigi Hadid and their possible marriage in the future.
- Bus 1: A fan favourite tattoo of Zayn's is the "Bus 1" that he has on his left hand. He and fellow One Direction member Louis Tomlinson got these matching tattoos while in the band because Bus 1 was the One Direction bus they considered their home away from home.
