New year, new ink for Zayn Malik of One Direction, who just added a gun tattoo to his ever-growing collection of body art! 

According to Entertainment Wise, "the 1D stud clearly decided to bring in the new year with a new tattoo, as he and other half Perrie Edwards visited Tattoo Magic in Weymouth by way of Dorset on Tuesday. Zayn went with a few friends to the shop, which had closed especially for the VIP visit and he spent time having photographs with locals and numerous fans, who had waited patiently outside to catch a glimpse of their idol."

Speaking to the Irish newspaper, The Independent, Tattoo Magic's owner Paul O'Connor said that he had to take extra security measures to ensure that Zayn and his fiancee were protected while they were getting inked.

"We had to lock the door this time in case, but it meant that Perrie, who turned up later, couldn't get in either so she had to meet up with him afterwards," Tattoo Magic's Paul O'Connor told The Dorset Echo. "He was here for about an hour with Perrie's brother. He was relaxed and talkative -- but I couldn't get a wedding date out of him," Paul mused."

O'Connor hinted that this might be the year that Zayn makes an honest woman of his fiancee, Perrie Edwards of Little Mix. "Posting a photo from the official Little Mix Twitter account, Perrie and Zayn were seen enjoying a very happy New Year's Eve, bundled up warm as they skated around an ice rink. It looks like Perrie has broken her spell of bad New Year's Eve after complaining previously that she always has a 'rubbish' December 31. Zayn and Perrie spent Christmas together with both their families, following their August engagement," reports Entertainment Wise.
