Tattoo-junkie Brooklyn has turned his body into a literal canvas. "It was pretty soon after we started dating, and I am half-covered with stuff for her," he told E! News. "I have like over 20 dedicated to her. They're very addictive, especially when you love someone you just want to cover everywhere!"

Amongst his rumoured 95 tattoos, he has a portrait of Nicola on his upper arm, a sketch of her eyes on the back of his neck and his entire wedding vows written in cursive writing on the underside of his arm.

Lovebirds Beyoncé and Jay-Z paid tribute to one another with matching tattoos. It was revealed in The Sun's Fabulous magazine that "they both have a tattoo of the Roman numeral IV on their ring fingers". 

The reason the number four is significant is because it is the Crazy in Love singer's favourite number.

The publication went on to suggest that "even their first child Ivy, now nine, is thought to have been inspired by IV – the Roman numerals for four."

Watermelon Sugar hitmaker Harry Styles set the internet alight this week when he seemingly unveiled a touching tattoo tribute to his ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde. In new holiday photos, Harry debuted a striking 'Olivia' inking on his upper thigh. 

Whilst many fans were quick to suggest that the artwork was a nod to his song titled 'Olivia', other fans argued that the inking was a not-so-subtle tribute to his co-star and former lover, Olivia Wilde.
