10 Reasons Harry and Louis Are the Greatest Love Story Untold

2. When They Got Matching Tattoos

Larry Stylinson “shippers” believe that Louis and Harry’s matching tattoos are a dead giveaway of their love affair. The band members have a few matching tattoos. Some of the most significant ones are a ship and compass, rose and dagger, birdcage and birds, rope and anchor, and heart and arrow. Harry claims the pirate ship on his shoulder reminds him of home, and Louis has said that the compass on his forearm is pointing towards his home in England. However, fans insist that the matching marine tattoos mean that Harry and Louis consider one another home, or that a ship always needs its compass to find its way. Harry had a rose drawn on his forearm and Louis got a dagger in the exact same spot less than a year later. Supposedly, a rose with a dagger through it symbolizes that you’re willing to kill for love/those you love. Harry also has a birdcage inked on his ribcage, while Louis has birds flying on his wrist. Shippers believe that the matching tattoos seen below are more than just a coincidence.
