The 22-year-old singer is the only member of One Direction who doesn't have any inkings but will get one to remind him of his bandmates when they go on hiatus next year.

He said: "I'm definitely doing something about that because when we're apart I know I'm going to miss them. All of the lads have got this weird tattoo of a Phillips screwdriver on their ankle. I'd like to say it means something deep but it's just a tattoo everyone likes. I'm going to brand myself with that one and it will remind me of the lads so they'll be with me wherever I go."

And Niall's plans for the hiatus also include backpacking with his friends.

He told Fabulous magazine: "I've spent the past few years of my life in planes and on tour buses and I've been through countries I've really loved but haven't had a chance to really see. I want to go back to Australia and definitely Thailand. With the band we stayed in luxury hotels but I want to see these countries like any lad of my age, just staying in hostels and that sort of thing. I don't want to stay at a Four Seasons. I've done that, I want something else.

"I did think about dying my hair brown so I won't get recognised, but I genuinely believe that if I'm on my own with my mates from home, no one will give me a second look."
