Zayn Malik's Perrie tatoo
Zayn Malik's girlfriend Perrie Edwards thinks his cartoon-like tattoo of her on his upper right arm is "lovely" and a symbol of their affection.
The One Direction heartthrob had a cartoon version of the blonde beauty's face etched on his upper right arm earlier this year, and the Little Mix singer finds the tribute incredibly touching.
She told Yahoo! omg Insider: "It must be love to be honest. When I'm away from him, I guess he can just take a look at his arm and remind him of me, so it's a lovely compliment, really. I love it, it's lovely."
Zayn, 20, added the inking to his extensive array of body art in June and tattoo artist John Garancheski - who had the honour of designing the anime-like artwork - previously revealed the loved-up 'Best Song Ever' hitmaker was adamant about getting a tattoo inspired by his girlfriend.
He said: "He wasn't pushy. He was like, 'I really want this and I'd like you to do it'. 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 One Direction star first met Perrie, 20, backstage at 'The X Factor' in 2011 and the couple have been together for nearly 18 months.
