Harry Styles's Tattoo Collection Includes a Nod to Olivia

There are a couple of things we know for certain about Harry Styles's tattoos: he has a lot of them (probably more than we know about) and he rarely opens up about what each design means to him. The "Don't Worry Darling" actor , "Harry's House" singer, and beauty brand owner got his very first ink — a tiny star etched on his left bicep — in 2012 on his 18th birthday. And things have only snowballed from there.

Styles doesn't speak about his body art often, yet he keeps doodling all over himself. He's acquired some of the tattoos on a whim (like "big" on his big toe), while others carry more sentimental value, like the designs that honor loved ones. For example, he has a tattoo on his thigh that says "Olivia," presumably for his ex-girlfriend, Olivia Wilde.



Fans first spotted the ink in July 2023 while the singer was boating in Bolsena, Italy. Some of the designs have even been done by Styles himself. Recently, we learned that one of his tattoos might feature some incorrect lyrics, but you'll have to keep scrolling to learn all of the details.

How Many Tattoos Does Harry Styles Have? While the exact number of tattoos etched on Styles's body is unconfirmed, we can say for sure he has somewhere north of 60+ tattoos . . .

so far. Who knows what — or how many more — he'll get in the future? As for what we do know, we're sharing the information we've collected on Styles's tattoos ahead. And for the rest of them, we'll just have to admire them and their mystery the same way we admire the rest of Harry : from afar.

Disclaimer: while we did our best to be comprehensive, don't be mad if we missed one or three — like we said, we're sure he has many more where these came from. Harry Styles's Collarbone Tattoos Styles has two dates tattooed on his collarbones: 1957 and 1967. His dad, Des, was born in 1957, and his mom, Anne Twist, was born in 1967.

Harry Styles's Left Upper Arm Tattoos "Late Late" Tattoo The story behind this tattoo is a great one: One Direction played a game of Tattoo Roulette on "The Late Late Show With James Corden" in 2015, and when Styles lost the game, he had to get "Late Late" tattooed on his arm live on the show. Ship Tattoo Styles's ship on his left bicep has always been a fan favorite. The tattoo artist who did it said Styles wanted an English ship to remind him "that he's homeward bound.

" Green Bay Packers Tattoo Styles has long been a fan of the NFL team and got a tattoo of the Green Bay Packers logo on his upper left arm on a bet several years ago. "Won't Stop 'Til We Surrender" Tattoo Under his Green Bay Packers tattoo, Styles has a script tattoo on his inner arm that reads, "Won't stop 'til we surrender," which fans have guessed comes from the song "Sweet Disposition" by the Australian group The Temper Trap. The group recently posted a video on TikTok saying that the lyrics are actually incorrect.

"Harry, we still love you even though you got the wrong lyrics to 'Sweet Disposition' tattooed," the caption of the video reads. Apparently, the correct lyrics are, "And won't stop 'til it's over, won't stop to surrender." Who knows? Maybe Styles just wanted to put his own twist on the song.

You can find Styles's on his upper left arm. R Tattoo The "R" near the mermaid on his left arm is most assuredly for his stepdad, Robin Twist.

Harry Styles's Left Inner Arm Tattoos Holy Bible Tattoo The Holy Bible is covering text that used to say "Things I can't."

Harry Styles's Left Forearm Tattoos Mermaid Tattoo As for the mermaid, he told Hollywood Life in 2014 that he got it because he is a mermaid .

And he once told a fan that the mermaid has "saggy boobs" because "everyone should love themselves for how they are. They shouldn't strive for perfection ." Rose Tattoo The other big tat on his forearm is the rose.

It's unclear exactly why he got it, but it's beautiful. Harry Styles's Left Bicep Tattoos "Silver Spoon" Tattoo Styles has several tattoos on the back of his left arm. The words "silver spoon" can be seen in large letters.

Though it feels easy to assume the eagle symbolizes freedom, it's hard to say for certain. "Mary" Tattoo Above the eagle is the name Mary, Styles's grandmother. Palm Tree Tattoo Styles has a palm tree tattoo on the back of his right arm, and while I don't know for certain why he got it, I do know his sister has the same tattoo.

One of the swallows also covers a previous tattoo that was a banner with the word "love" on it. Butterfly Tattoos He also has a large butterfly on his sternum that comes out to play often enough, but sadly, Styles hasn't ever shared exactly why he stamped this ink on himself.

Laurel Branch Tattoos Styles used to have a tattoo on his lower stomach that said "Might as well," but he covered it with a pair of laurels — or fern leaves, depending on who you ask. He hasn't given a reason behind this tattoo, but as you can tell by how many cover-ups he has, he clearly just gets tattoos that make him happy in the moment and sometimes changes his mind later. Theater Masks Tattoo Two traditional theater masks are inked on Styles's left side.

Birdcage Tattoo Styles's birdcage is tattooed on his left side. SNCL Tattoo Under the birdcage are the letters SNCL, which supposedly mean "smile now, cry later," which ties this all in with the theater masks if it's correct. 17 Black Tattoo This tat is on Styles's chest, and the tattoo artist who did it told British GQ that Styles got it because he'd lost some money gambling on 17 black.

"Brazil" Tattoo On a trip to Brazil with One Direction in 2014, Styles tattooed the name of the country high up on his left thigh — very nearly on his butt.
