"We were just saying the other day that it feels like it&amp;#039;s been quite a while since any of the One Direction lads permanently scarred their bodies with some fresh ink. We almost thought they might have been over the whole &amp;#039;tattooing&amp;#039; thing now. But clearly we were wrong, because Zayn Malik&amp;#039;s gone and gotten himself a brand new tatt, but instead of another cartoon creation of his future wife to be or an homage to Taylor Lautner, he&amp;#039;s gone for a bit of a serious one instead.  Image: Twitter Yep, el Maliko visited his favourite LA tattoo parlour this week to have some more work done on his beautiful bod, and as it turns out he emerged with a huge inking of a gun along his ribcage and his hip. But while we&amp;#039;re sure this is just another deep and meaningful 1D tatt that shouldn&amp;#039;t be read into too much, it won&amp;#039;t be too surprising that some people will find this particular doodle a little bit controversial. It is a weapon after all. A drawn on one, but still. It probably doesn&amp;#039;t make things much better than Zayn&amp;#039;s tattooist Louis F Perez III (yep, that&amp;#039;s his name) posted a snap of the finished design and posted it to Instagram with the caption: &amp;amp;quot;Made sure my homey was strapped.&amp;amp;quot; Clearly someone realised that wasn&amp;#039;t the *best* thing to say pretty quickly though, as the picture was removed a while afterwards - but by that point the snap of Maliko&amp;#039;s new tattoo had taken over Twitter. Obviously.  Well, Zayn&amp;#039;s a pretty artistic guy and we reckon he just wanted a cool design slapped onto his body - and it is his body after all. A very, very nice one. Although, we reckon this new tatt will come in handy to encourage some future toplessness, so there&amp;#039;s a definite plus.&amp;amp;nbsp; But what do you think of Zayn&amp;#039;s gun tattoo? Are people reading too much into it or is it a bit irresponsible of him to get that kind of inking? Comments please...
