Adventures in terrible tattoos - The Harry Styles Edition!
I've been wanting to do this for a while because lbr I am obsessed with Harry Styles and want to live on his lawn so I have tallied all of his tats because I want to keep track of them before he covers more of them up and they are lost to us forever.
Okay let's start with the feet! Harry has two ankle tats, one on each ankle. Here is Harry getting on of them from his good friend Tom Atkin.
1. Right Ankle Tat (unknown text)
2. Left Ankle Tat (unknown text)
Wrist Tats:
3. I can't change...
4. Aquarius symbol (his birth sign)
5. 99p (I'm assuming this is the equivalent of a .99 cents sticker in the U.S.)
6. Padlock tattooed on him by Ed Sheeran
7. SSC Shamrock (Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlor in Los Angeles)
8. Either an arrow or a key depending on who you ask. I lean toward a key since there's a padlock right there but it's Harry Styles so who the fuck knows.
Side and underarm tats:
9. X
10. SMCL
11. Comedy/Tragedy masks
12. Birdcage
13. PINGU (ed sheeran has actual Pingu tattooed on himself)
14. Hi (people think it's Louis's handwriting. again who knows but I feel this one is actually highly likely)
15. Iced Gem (for Gemma maybe)
16. Star (his first tattoo and it used to not be filled in.)
17. Won't stop till we surrender (faded as fuck)
18. Green Bay Packers G (everyone knows this story by now, right?)
Arms, Chest, Shoulder:
19. Things I can
20. Things I can't
21. Might as well...
22. Two sparrows
23. 17Black (James Bond always bets on 17 Black in roulette)
24. two crosses with the initials M and K underneath them (presumably they both are for people who have passed away. Google tells me his grandmother's name is either Mina or Marianna so maybe that is true. It's on the internet! It must be true.)
25. Coat hanger
26. LA (Los Angeles)
27. NY (New York)
28. Gemma in Hebrew
29. Heart
30. LDN (London)
31. Can I ... ? (people are saying Can I Cry? but clearer pics or it didn't happen)
32. Ship (people are saying it is actually the HMS Victory which would be cool.)
33. Home Made (now covered by part of the ship's sails/mast)
34. A (for Harry's mum Anne)
35. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
36. Mystery tat that you can see better in the Kiss You video. It looks like a peanut or a really ugly guitar.
37. Love Banner (now covered by one of his sparrows)
38. Screw tattoo (I'm putting this on here because of Louis's tweet about becoming part of the "screw crew" and getting a screw tattoo with Liam that matches one Zayn and Harry already have, but there was also a tweet that Eleanor made around the same time where she told someone it was more of an X than a screw and well see tattoo #9. That very well could be Harry's screw tat.)
And that's all folks! Unless any of you lovely people can think of something I missed. If so drop me a comment and feel free to speculate wildly about what all of them mean. There's nothing I love more than wild speculation.
