This Trendsetting Celeb’s New Tattoo Lights Up in the Dark

Former One Direction singer and Gigi Hadid’s on-again boyfriend Zayn Malik (her sweet message to him post-show cancellation was pretttyyyyy awww-inducing) is no stranger to tattoos — a quick visit to his Instagram page can confirm that much.


The singer just took things up a notch, however, with a seriously cool tat that takes advantage of a trending UV ink technique that gives it the power to glow in the dark.

But this is no ordinary light-up ‘too — no, this is a Star Wars light saber, set to glow force blue when placed beneath a blacklight! Whoa. How cool is that?

Posted to Instagram by Zayn’s tattoo artist, Jonathan “Jon Boy” Valeta, you can see the middle finger tat in action for yourself.

“May the force be with you, @zayn.” Jon Boy writes.

Even if you’re not a fan of the movies (Who ARE you? Kidding… kind of), you can surely appreciate how badass this is.

We, for one, are kinda jealous we didn’t think of it first.

We love it, Zayn!
