Zayn Malik Gets TATTOO on His FACE

Zayn Malik has been blasted by fans after unveiling a shocking new tattoo on his face.

The Pillowtalk singer, 23, is no stranger to body art but his latest inking has got his loyal followers all riled up.

The tattoo shows a bird emblazoned with the letters M.O.M and stretches across his temple and down his cheek.

The design could be a tribute to Zayn’s mum Trisha, but eagle-eyed fans have pointed out it could be a reference to his album Mind of Mine.

Zayn has yet to confirm whether the body art is real, although he didn’t have the design when he shot his new music video on Wednesday, believed to be for Like I Would.

But it has already upset devotees who fear the pop star has taken his inking obsession too far.

The picture, which Zayn posted on Instagram, has attracted a number of comments from unhappy followers who have branded the design “awful” and “tacky”.

One wept: “This is honestly the worst thing he could’ve done,” while another added: “noooooooo your beautiful face.”

The snap also shows another new tattoo of a swallow on his neck, similar to a design sported by his former 1D bandmate Harry Styles.
