Now, it's no secret that singer Zayn Malik is a fan of tattoos, he's got that many we've lost count. BUT, we certainly won't be forgetting about his latest inking, as the former One Direction singer has only gone and got a MASSIVE new tattoo on his HEAD!

Yes, you read that correctly! Zayn Malik, who is currently working on his new album, showed off his impressive new inking to fans on Instagram. Sharing a snap of his new mandala style inking, no caption was needed.

In just the short time the snap has been online, it has racked up over two million likes, with fans of the 'Pillowtalk' singer expressing their thoughts.

One user wrote, 'This is insane ❤️', with another adding, 'THIS IS ALL I NEEDED IN MY LIFE'. A third then wrote, 'You look so perfect!'. However, other fans weren't fond of Zayn's new ink, with some admitting they think he's 'ruined himself'. 😲

In June 2018 Zayn dyed his hair lavender and fans thought it meant there was romance in the air between him and Gigi Hadid.

Zayn's fans are patiently waiting for his second solo album after he teased fans earlier this year. After the success of 'Mind Of Mind' in March 2016, Zayn revealed on Twitter in June that his second album is coming.

Sharing a short taster, the singer wrote, 'Album is on the way, Got a few surprises for you too .. here’s a taster 😎✌'. [sic]

Meanwhile, despite splitting from supermodel Gigi Hadid earlier this year, the pair confirmed they were back on in Gigi's Instagram Story, with Zayn later expressing his love for his girl.

Speaking to GQ magazine, he said, "I'm really thankful that I met her. We're adults. We don't need to put a label on it, make it something for people's expectations."

He also admitted that Gigi was a positive influence on his life, "I had a very negative outlook on things. That might have been adolescence or testosterone or whatever was running through my body at the time. She's helped me to look at things from a positive angle."
