Zayn Malik strips off to flaunt new rose tattoo after Gigi split

He’s been hitting the tattoo artist’s chair straight after splitting from long-term girlfriend Gigi Hadid. 

And Zayn Malik flaunted his new body art as he went shirtless on Saturday. 

The 25-year-old former One Direction star puffed on a cigarette as he gave onlookers an eyeful of his multi-colored torso as he chilled out in the sunshine in Miami, Florida.

The singer has added a new rose tattoo to the back of his head down to his neck.

The inking got mixed reactions from his fans, who thought it looked like a rat’s tail. 

‘Why did you do that to yourself?’ one fan queried while another mentioned: ‘Thought you had a rat tail. Oop.’

This comes after the half-Pakistani star was mocked for his questionable inking of Gigi’s eyes on his chest. It is unclear whether he will have it removed post-split. 

The couple broke up on Tuesday after more than two years together. Both the pop heartthrob and Gigi took to Twitter to confirm the news.

His post read: ‘Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and a friend. She has such an incredible soul. 

‘I’m grateful to all of our fans for respecting this difficult decision and our privacy at this time, we wish this news could have come from us first. We love you all. xZ.’

Just 11 minutes after Zayn put out his post, Gigi released her own statement on the social media site. 

She wrote: ‘Breakup statements often seem impersonal because there is really no way to put into words what two people experience together over a few years.. not only in the relationship, but in life in general.

‘I’m forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for.

As for the future, whatever’s meant to be will always be. xG.’

The former lovebirds recently spent a lot of time apart – and were last pictured together in January – as Gigi walked the world’s runways for fashion month and Zayn jetted off to Miami to work on new music.
