One Direction's Zayn Malik is showing some serious commitment to girlfriend Perrie Edwards.
After Malik was spotted sporting a new bicep tattoo that bared a total likeness to his girlfriend of one-year, tattoo artist John Garancheski confirmed to MTV that the ink is in fact Edwards.
"He showed me a picture of his girlfriend, Perrie, and he was like 'I kind of want it to look like her, but not to be her, to kind of be like a comic-style version of her," the Maryland tattoo artist said of the boy-bander's request. "He wasn't pushy. He was like 'I really want this and I'd like you to do it."
So what does Edwards, who gained fame as a member of the UK girl group Little Mix, think of the ink?
"It is weird," she told MTV. "But it's nice that every time he's away from us he just has to look and I'm there on his arm."
"I think that is majorly flattering," Edwards' bandmate Jesy Nelson added.
Even though she thinks it's sweet, Edwards said she'll have to think before returning the favor.
"I do want tattoos but I don't know what I want yet," she said. "I'm gonna have to have a look."
According to Garancheski, 1D members Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne also visited the tattoo shop, but only Malik and Tomlinson actually got inked.
"They were so casual and such nice guys," he said. "They were super cool.
"I wouldn't say that I treated the artwork creation process different than I would for anybody just because I always want to put my best foot forward," Garancheski said of working on the celebrity clients. "At the same time I think it added an extra little bit of edge to it."
