Harry Styles has a lot of tattoos, and his collection keeps growing and growing. Many Harry Styles fans can pinpoint the exact location and meaning of many of his tats, but the singer appears to have added a surprising new piece to his lineup that has some fans scratching their heads.
As noted by Page Six, Styles was enjoying a much-needed vacation in Bolsena, Italy, after wrapping the 2023 leg of his Love on Tour worldwide tour. He soaked up the sun in a pair of green shorts and no shirt, leaving his iconic swallow tattoos and more completely visible. However, it was a certain leg tattoo that caught fans' eyes: the word "Olivia" written in script on Styles's upper thigh.
Wait, wait, wait, back it up here: Olivia?!?! As in his ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde? Some fans thought that the tattoo was a reference to the One Direction song of the same name or an ode to his sister Gemma's late cat, but it's much more likely that the "Olivia" tat is a memento of their time together, even though it reportedly ended in late 2022.

Underneath the "Olivia" tattoo was also another new-ish piece, the word "colazione," a.k.a. the Italian word for "breakfast." Breakfast does feature heavily in Styles's song "Keep Driving," an imagery-heavy ode to a relationship, so maybe the two are connected, but maybe not!
It isn't a total surprise that Styles would have inked Wilde's name. He has several tattoos dedicated to important people in his life, including Gemma's name and one potentially dedicated to his godson. However, fans were a bit befuddled over the choice to get his ex's name tattooed, regardless of when it happened during their relationship.
"I will live in blissful ignorance of what that tattoo actually says until I see some Ultra HD 4K resolution photos to prove me wrong because I know my mans wasn't dumb enough to get a name tattoo," tweeted a fan.

Others had fun imagining Wilde's reaction to the coveted tattoo, while others turned the mirror on themselves. "I literally have a tattoo dedicated to Harry & his music while he doesn't know me at all meanwhile i'm also making fun of his thigh tattoo, who's the real clown here really," wrote one fan.

Regardless of its origins, the "Olivia" tattoo is yet another addition to Styles's ever-evolving gallery of body art, and maybe one day, he'll reveal the full story behind it. In the meantime, we'll always have fan memes:
