Zayn Malik split from Little Mix's Perrie Edwards just two weeks ago and now he's gone and got himself a new tattoo of a lotus flower, which is thought to represent 'rebirth'. Smooth move, mate.
The ex-One Direction star first tweeted the design on Wednesday, which was printed out and balanced on top of a piano. Now Zayn has been pictured sporting the ink on his left arm.

In Buddhism the lotus flower means creation and cosmic renewal. Since quitting One Direction, signing a solo record deal and parting ways with Perrie Edwards, Zayn is certainly set to get creative and renew plenty of things, not least his relationship status on Facebook.

Meanwhile on Zayn's right arm, he still has that massive cartoon design of Perrie. We wonder if he'll be keeping that for long?
Zayn broke off his engagement to Perrie Edwards two weeks ago. The pair, who had been together for a whopping four years, parted ways after Zayn reportedly called things off via text message, and since then there's been no communication between the two of them whatsoever.
A source told The Sun: "It's unbelievable, he's an immature little boy with no thought for anyone else's feelings.
"Perrie is one of the sweetest girls in the world and she's stood by him through thick and thin."
"Who does that? She's devastated, which everyone understands, but is doing her best to focus on work and to put on a brave face in public."

Meanwhile, Perrie Edwards has nipped off to Disneyland to console herself, as she's been snapped with the ultimate celeb couple - Mickey and Minnie - along with her Little Mix bandmate, Jade Thirlwall.
Zayn and Perrie often visited Disney's parks across the world and took this super-cute snap together in January of 2014.

Perrie might have taken a little dig at Zayn during an interview with Disney Radio - which isn't a source we ever thought we'd credit - as she gushed about how much she loves One Direction's new single Drag Me Down, as she: "It's incredible."
