One Direction star Zayn Malik has had a huge pistol tattooed on his hip after a late night visit to a LA parlour.
The 20-year-old, who has a number of designs inked on his body, has now shocked young fans with the controversial design on his left side, reported Us magazine.
He 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 LA 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."
Malik has a growing collection of intricate tattoos, including a caricature of fiance Perrie Edwards on his arm, which the Little Mix singer is said to love.
