One of Malik's earliest tattoos is the giant "ZAP!" inside a splat on his right arm. The splat was originally filled in with red, but he had it colored over with black later. Back in 2012, he told Nova.fm in an interview that he and former bandmate Louis Tomlinson were captains in a secret society called "Club Zappers," and the rest of the group were just on the board of directors.
On his right shoulder and bicep, he has a large snake tattoo. Below it is a space monkey and a UFO. The UFO covers up a previous tattoo he had of a cartoon figure of his former fiancée, Perrie Edwards.
Near the checkered flag on Malik's left arm, he has each of his sister's names tattooed in Arabic. You'll see each of Safaa, Waliyha, and Doniya's names in small font inside his arm.
