Harry Styles has been getting tattoos since he was 18 and it's not surprising to see how large his collection has gotten. From his iconic butterfly tattoo to smaller initials in honor of his mom and sister, he pretty much has them all. If you're curious about what tattoos he's gotten over the years, you've come to the right place. Here are all of Harry Styles' tattoos...

Two Swallows
The swallows are two of his most iconic tattoos. There is a special meaning behind Harry's swallow tattoos, which he got in 2012. "I got two swallows on my chest," Styles told Us Weekly. "I like that kind of style of tattoos, like the old sailor kind of tattoos. They symbolize traveling, and we travel a lot!"
