One Direction fans have been editing photos of Louis Tomlinson to make him "punk" - and it seems he's a fan of the new look.

Fans of the band on Twitter have been having fun with turning Tomlinson rock - a look that is a world away from his clean cut boyband image.

He can be seen with ear piercings, arms full of tattoos and dark make-up as his fans exhibit their Photoshop skills.

And it seems Tomlinson is something of a fan of the new look, with the singer tweeting today (December 17):

"Just seen all these punk edits of pictures of me, makes me want more tattoos!!"

As previously reported, One Direction have been confirmed to perform at this year's X Factor USA final, which is due to come to an end on Thursday (December 20).
