Zayn Malik has new ink... on his face

Remember when Zayn Malik's pink hair was a bold style statement? Yeah, well that's all gone.

Now, the singer is showing off fresh ink on his neck...

and his face.

Though we're not positive whether the ink is permanent, we're pretty sure about this: Zayn's face art has plenty to do with his post-1D career. The solo star proves it in his Instagram caption (Like I Would  is his new single), his bird taking flight tattoo on his neck (because maybe it's flying away on its own) and the face tattoo (!!) that says "M.O.M." which we can assume means "Mind of Mine," his album title.

Remember when his his face used to look like this?:

We wonder what Gigi Hadid, whose own face inspires Zayn, thinks of the new ink.
