Zayn Malik has had a huge pistol tattooed to his him after a late night visit to a Los Angeles parlour.
Zayn Malik has had a huge gun tattooed on his hip.
The One Direction heartthrob, who has a number of designs inked on his body, has now shocked young fans with the controversial design on his left side.
The 20-year-old posted a photograph of the inking on Instagram, which was etched by his tattooist Louis F Perez III - and he was seen leaving Mark Mahoney's Shamrock Social Club in Los Angeles on Thursday night (21.11.13) after the painful procedure.
Proud of his work, the artist also posted a snap of the finished pistol on his page, with the caption: ''Made sure my homey was strapped.''
But the comment was quickly deleted after the band's fans, known as 'Directioners', reacted badly.
Zayn's new inking was a result of a late night visit to the tattoo parlour on Sunset Boulevard with band mate Liam Payne, his dog Harley, and a group of friends.
Zayn has a growing collection of intricate tattoos, including a caricature of fiancée Perrie Edwards on his arm, which the Little Mix singer is said to love.
Band-mate Harry Styles also has a tattoo collection which can rival Zayn's and continues to pay regular visits to tattoo parlours.
