List of Tattoos

Harry Styles has over 52 known tattoos, mainly on his arms, hands, and feet. The exact date of when Harry got the tattoos is not known, so they are not sorted chronologically.

## Two Swallows

The two swallows inked on Harry’s chest have their face inked in the same direction. This tattoo was used as the symbol by the sailors to represent their sailing experience usually tattoed on the chest, hands or neck. Swallows are the symbol of love and travel and it was believed that after the death of the sailor, the swallows would carry their soul to heaven. Harry as per his profession travels a lot, and thus he was encouraged to get this inked.

> Harry said, “[the swallows] symbolize traveling, and we travel a lot.” Harry also said, “I like that kind of style of tattoos, like the old sailor kind of tattoos.”
