Louis Tomlinson’s “FAR AWAY.” and Stag & Heart Tattoos

Louis Tomlinson’s “FAR AWAY.” and Stag & Heart Tattoos
By | On June 12, 2013

They say that a person’s tattoo collection tells the story of their life, and when it comes to One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, the story is an interesting one, to say the least. Louis got his first tattoo at the age of 20, and apparently caught the tattoo bug along with the rest of his bandmates, because he now has more than a dozen images scattered across his body, including the words “FAR AWAY.” on his right bicep and a gigantic stag and heart tattoo on the outside of his right arm. Although some of Louis Tomlinson’s tattoos appear to be completely random (much like Harry Styles’ tattoos, right??), the singer has an explanation for virtually every piece of ink on his body, so they must mean something to him! Read on to learn more about Louis’ “FAR AWAY.” and stag and heart arm tattoos.

Louis’ Stag and Heart Tattoo

Louis seems intent on covering his right arm in tattoos, and the ink he sports on his upper arm/shoulder is really helping out in reaching that goal. Louis’ arm tattoo features a gigantic image of a stag’s head with a large black and white heart inked in between the deer’s antlers. Louis hasn’t yet explained the meaning behind his shoulder tattoo, but it is nearly identical to the Jagermeister logo, which depicts a stag with a cross positioned between it’s antlers. Hmm…strange source of inspiration, if we do say so ourselves. The singer’s stag and heart tattoo was inked in May 2013, and covered up what used to be a heart wearing a pair of headphones, which the pop star previously said meant “listen to your heart.” Not only does Louis Tomlinson’s tattoo of the stag and heart cover up ink that he apparently regretted, but it also marks a transition from the tiny little scribbles that the One Direction boys are famous for to more prominent, detailed and – dare we say – mature tats. We have to say that we kind of like Louis’ stag tattoo, and it goes nicely with the large bird tattoo on the outside of his right arm. Good choice, Louis!

“FAR AWAY.” Tat on Louis’ Bicep

The pop star’s arm tattoo was inked in October 2012, around the same time as his stick figure and quotation marks tattoos, and is apparently a tribute to his hometown and the friends and family he left behind when he joined One Direction. Louis and his bandmates are fond of getting words and phrases inked on their bodies, and Louis Tomlinson’s tattoo is similar to Zayn Malik’s tattoo that says “Friday,” and Harry Styles’ “I can’t change,” “things I can” and “things I can’t” tattoos. When explaining the meaning behind his “FAR AWAY.” tattoo, Louis said, “Though I’m away from home, my family is always in my heart.” Aww!! Louis has a couple of tattoos honoring the notions of home and family, including the large compass tattoo on his arm that he says has an arrow pointing to home. Some of the other One Direction boys have similar sentimental tattoos, including Harry Styles’ tattoos of the large ship on his arm and the swallows on his chest.

    [Liam:]
    I’m broken, do you hear me?
    I’m blinded, ’cause you are everything I see,
    I’m dancin’ alone, I’m praying,
    That your heart will just turn around,

    And as I walk up to your door,
    My head turns to face the floor,
    ‘Cause I can’t look you in the eyes and say,

    [Harry:]
    When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
    It just won’t feel right,
    ‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah,
    When he lays you down,
    I might just die inside,
    It just don’t feel right,
    ‘Cause I can love you more than this,
    Can love you more than this

    [Niall:]
    If I’m louder, would you see me?
    Would you lay down
    In my arms and rescue me?
    ‘Cause we are the same
    You save me,
    When you leave it’s gone again,

    [Louis:]
    And then I see you on the street,
    In his arms, I get weak,
    My body fails, I’m on my knees
    Prayin’,

    [All:]
    When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
    It just won’t feel right,
    ‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah,
    When he lays you down,
    I might just die inside,
    It just don’t feel right,
    ‘Cause I can love you more than this,

    [Zayn:]
    Yeah, I’ve never had the words to say,
    But now I’m askin’ you to stay
    For a little while inside my arms,
    And as you close your eyes tonight,
    I pray that you will see the light,
    That’s shining from the stars above,

    (And I say)

    [Liam:]
    When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
    It just won’t feel right,
    ‘Cause I can love you more than this,

    [Zayn]
    ‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah

    [All]

    I might just die inside,

    ‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah,

    It just won’t feel right,
    ‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah

    When he lays you down,
    I might just die inside (oh, yeah),
    It just don’t feel right,
    ‘Cause I can love you more than this,
    Can love you more than this
