One Direction star Harry Styles showed off his tattoos as he went topless on a day off.

The lads have been enjoying some time off in Barcelona, Spain as they continue their trek around Europe on their Take Me Home tour.

Styles was pictured topless and taking in the sun as he put performing to the back of his mind.

Other photos of fans with the singer topless have also since appeared on Twitter.

Styles shows off his admirable tattoo collection in the snaps, with much of the upper half of his body plastered in ink.

One Direction meanwhile due are to play the Pavelló Olimpic venue in Barcelona tonight (May 22).
