Harry Styles has been seen with rumoured love interest Taylor Swift in the US as the One Direction got a new tattoo.

The 'What Makes You Beautiful' has something of a passion for body art and he has already had a number of illustrations inked onto his skin.

The singer has now been photographed in a tattoo parlour in the US getting even more tattoos - and he took Taylor Swift along with him.

Tattoo artist Freddy Negrete, who works at Shamrock Tattoos in Hollywood, posted a photo today (December 19) on Instagram of the couple in their shop.

The picture shows Styles showing off what looks to be a boat tattoo, complete with sails, with the singer wearing a t-shirt of Canadian prog-rock band Rush.

The One Direction man has previously been snapped holding hands with Swift in public, but no official confirmation of their partnership has yet been given.
