One Direction star Liam Payne has shown fans he is very serious about his relationship with Cheryl, by getting her eye tattooed onto his arm.

As Liam enjoyed a night out recently, he was more than happy to show off his new inking as he wore a short sleeve t-shirt.

The tattoo of Cheryl eye can be seen on Liam's left forearm, in between his famous rose and clock tattoos.

Although Liam hasn't actually confirmed it is Cheryl's eye, fans were quick to notice it is VERY similar to her debut solo album cover 3 words, which was released back in 2009.

Some love the new inking...

Others aren't so sure...

Liam's former band mate Zayn Malik famously got his ex-fiance Perrie Edwards' face inked onto his arm when the pair were together. Last year the 'Pillowtalk' singer covered up the tattoo when he started a romance with Gigi Hadid.

Liam and Cheryl first confirmed their romance in February 2016, but some believe they've been together since 2015 after leaked footage from The X Factor final in 2015 showed Cheryl and Liam dancing to Jason DeRulo’s hit track ‘Talk Dirty’.

Check it out below:

Ever since February the couple haven't been shy in sharing snaps of each other to their social media accounts. In March the One Direction singer even called Cheryl his 'favourite woman in the world' to celebrate International Women's Day.

Sharing a snap of Cheryl to Instagram, Liam wrote, 'Happy#internationalwomensday to my favourite woman in the world hope I make you as happy as u make me X.'

Rumours then started to circulate that Cheryl and Liam are expecting their first baby together when Cheryl was spotted with a small 'bump'. Rumours were then fueled further when Cheryl's mum Joan was spotted buying pregnancy goods in Mothercare.

The pair then seemingly confirmed reports in December when they attended the Quintessentially Foundation’s Annual Fayre of St James’ Church.

Wearing an open coat over a green knitted jumper, Cheryl glowed as she made her way into the church with boyfriend Liam.

Despite this, Cheryl or Liam are yet to officially confirm the news.
