How Harry Styles uses his tattoos to map secret ‘sadness' and as artist reveals what his designs really mean
Kevin Paul, who has inked Harry, reveals what the pop star was really like behind the scenes STORY OF MY LIFE How Harry Styles uses his tattoos to map secret 'sadness' and as artist reveals what his designs really mean When the globally recognisable Harry Styles braved a crowd of 150,000 people to witness the new Pope's first address in person, it highlighted how important the star's spiritual journey is to him - as evident in his body art. However, one artist behind some of his body art believes there is a 'sadness' tinged with some of Harry's curious designs. 7 Harry Styles show off his tattoos in the music video for his single, As It Was Credit: YOUTUBE 7 Harry was spotted in the crowds in St Peter's Square, Vatican City, to watch the newly elected Pope Leo XIV make his first public address Credit: PA 7 Kevin Paul, is a tattoo artist to the stars and has inked Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran and Rihanna Credit: Vantage News The singer, who was spotted in St. Peter's Square watching Pope Leo XIV being debuted at the Vatican, has a series of religious-inspired tattoos, including an inking of a Holy Bible on his left arm, and a cross on his left hand. A source said: 'Harry's body is like a scrapbook of his life. He would always get tattoos as little representations of specific moments in time - they're all like little mementos now, and you can trace his journey through his spiritual discoveries through his body art. 'Scrapbook of his life' 'One Direction used to be stuck in their hotel rooms on tour, because anywhere they went was swarmed with fans. Getting tattoos in their hotel rooms was their escape from the madness and a way to express themselves and feel free. 'Sometimes they would just muck around with little cartoons, that really aren't that deep, but others seem symbolic of what was going on inside their heads at the time. 'You could say getting body art was their first outlet to cope with fame - now Harry's chronicles all the different paths he has explored to help be at peace with fame, and life in general.' The former One Direction star, 31, has previously stated he is 'more spiritual than religious' - though with typical dry humour, he admitted that it 'sounds a little w***y' to describe himself as spiritual. 'Outlet to cope with fame' 'I'm not super tied-in to certain rules,' he stated in 2018. 'But I think it's naïve to say nothing exists and there's nothing above us or more powerful than us. I think that's a little narrow-minded. 'I definitely believe in karma…. I definitely think there's something, that it's not just us.' Yet despite his tattoos having clear religious inspiration, tattoo artist Kevin Paul says Harry's body art is often spur-of-the-moment, as epitomised when he played "tattoo roulette" and got an inking live on the Late, Late Show. 'Harry is very random,' he says. 'I was halfway through stencilling another design that he wanted when he decided that he didn't want that now, he wanted to have '17 Black'. Watch as Harry Styles goes unnoticed by fans in London 7 Harry's tattoo artist says the process of how he decides his tattoos are often 'erratic' Credit: Splash News 'It was all very erratic how he had his tattoos. I think he's calmed down a lot though now.' But Kevin recalls how Harry's tattoo sessions, which would take place in a hotel room while the group were touring, seemed to be a method of escape from the constant glare of the spotlight. 'When I met him, you could see the sadness oozing through him,' says Kevin. 'Because they were locked in - they could never go anywhere. 'He just wanted to be normal' 'We used to call it 'the billion pound pension' because everyone was going to get rich off the back of it, but they just had to do as they were told and be where they were told to be. 'I got really sad for him, because he was really sweet. There was a moment when I told him I didn't have any kitchen roll and said I needed some, and he said: 'There's a Sainsbury's over the road, I'll go and get some.' And then he went: 'Oh s***. I can't.'' Naturally, at the time, wherever the band were holed up was besieged by armies of devoted fans, desperate for a glimpse, which left them locked in hotel rooms across the globe. 'More spiritual than religious' 'He just wanted to be normal,' says Kevin. 'He wanted to walk across the road.' While there is an 'erraticism' to some of Harry's tattoos, it is possible that another of Harry's tattoos - a bird cage inked in 2012 - is representative of this feeling. Equally, his growing collection of religious art seems to reflect his interest in discovering about different faiths. In 2014, he covered up a tattoo on his arm which read 'things I can't' - thought to be taken from a serenity prayer - with a picture of a Holy Bible. Harry, who says he 'is christened but not really that religious', was brought up in a family of church goers. His late paternal grandfather Brian Selley laughed that the young parishioners in Harry's hometown of Holmes Chapel knew more about his grandson's goings on than he did. 'They always want to know the latest when they see me on a Sunday,' Brian laughed in 2013. 'It's the first thing they ask me – I think they're hoping he'll come with me one Sunday.' 7 In Harry's As It Was music video, he references the creation of Adam from the Michelangelo painting in the Sistine Chapel (below) Credit: YouTube / Harry Styles 7 The Creation of Adam from the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo Credit: Getty And despite wearing a St Christopher - the patron saint of safe travels - on stage, as well as regularly making the sign of the cross during performances, Harry has also shown a keen interest in the teachings of numerous religions besides Christianity. In 2014, he wore a Kabbalah bracelet - a red string with a charm - on stage at Wembley, prompting speculation he had started following the religion popularised by Madonna at the time. The bracelet is believed to protect the wearer from bad energy, or feeling negative emotions such as jealousy, that those possessed by the 'evil eye' otherwise encounter. Kabbalah bracelet In March 2015, during One Direction's tumultuous tour stop in Thailand, which saw Zayn Malik sensationally quit the group, Harry embarked on a spiritual journey, visiting temples in Bangkok and practising yoga and meditation. Meditation, he says, makes him feel like he is 'living', and helps 'with worrying about the future less, and the past less'. He later told how Hermann Hesse's novel Siddhartha, which tells the story of a young man's journey of self-discovery during the time of Gautama Buddha, 'makes a lot of sense' to him, and was an 'important' book. Among his travels, he has exchanged theological ideas with some of the world's most profound thinkers - he once met with the philosopher Alain de Botton to discuss 'Plato, Aristotle, love and beauty'. 7 Ed Sheeran gives Harry an inking on his left arm Credit: EBay During his time in 1D, he had such affection for the Jewish religion, he Tweeted friends with Yiddish words and had his sister Gemma's name tattooed in Hebrew, and though his dad Des clarified 'categorically, he is 0% Jewish'. Harry also has several inkings to remember late relatives including his step-father Robin, and his grandparents, including the letters R and B. Kevin - who has also drawn many of Ed Sheeran and Rihanna's tattoos, and has been tipped to appear on ITV2's Big Brother - says this is all part of Harry feeling comfortable to show the world who he is, and adds: 'It's nice he's able to express himself. 'When people ask who the nicest person I've worked with is, I would still say Harry.'

BJP gave constitutional status to OBC commission, says Bhujbal
Nashik: Veteran NCP politician Chhagan Bhujbal on Saturday expressed gratitude towards BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for granting constitutional status to the OBC commission , enabling it to assess the socio-economic conditions of other backward communities and implement development measures. "The struggle for OBC justice began long before India's freedom struggle and continues even today. OBCs are a diverse group of small communities. The British conducted the last caste-based census in 1931, which showed 54% of the population belonged to OBCs. We're still fighting for the same rights today," Bhujbal said, while delivering the Late Vasantrao Nevaskar Memorial Lecture at Devmamledar Yashwantrao Maharaj Patangan at Godaghat in Nashik. Bhujbal said the Supreme Court issued a crucial ruling regarding the local body elections with pre-2022 reservations. "The Supreme Court's ruling on local body elections with pre-2022 reservations is crucial, enabling OBC representation in national politics. I'm also grateful to PM Modi for announcing a caste-wise census, which will greatly benefit the community," he said. The veteran NCP politician said tribals and dalits received constitutional reservation based on population. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

"Many Mandal Commission recommendations remain unimplemented. We're awaiting certain announcements and hope the govt takes action," he added.

Furious CBB fans demand to know where missing part of show is after Daley's exit
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELEBRITY Big Brother viewers have slammed the show for airing less than 10 minutes of Friday's action in the house. Former decathlete Daley Thompson was voted out on Friday night, after being nominated by housemates alongside EastEnders star Patsy Palmer. 5 Daley Thompson was voted out on Friday night Credit: Eroteme 5 Daley changed his tune towards housemates after hearing what they'd said about him Credit: Eroteme But fans are questioning what they might have missed, with only a snippet of what went on inside the house on eviction day actually shown by ITV. One said on X: "So we had 9 minutes of content from the WHOLE of Friday. Why aren't people more fuming about this? Housemates should not have a day off from the experiment." And in response to that comment, another added: "We've said this every week for the last 3 years of ITV. It's frustrating at this point..." While a third asked: "What happened between 8am - 8pm on Friday?" It comes after Daley called his housemates "rats", having being shown footage of what had been said about him, when talking to CBB co-hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best following his eviction. After initially praising his "funny, revealing, great" celebrity housemates, the 66-year-old changed his tune upon seeing some of the reasons given for nominating him. Daley discovered he'd been nominated four times, by Patsy, Angelica Bell, Chris Hughes and Donna Preston. Then, after hearing Patsy and Chris say he didn't help out enough around the house, he became agitated and said something to the audience before turning on his fellow celebs. He said: "None of them surprised me because they're all rats." Daley even went so far as to swear on his son's life that he did his fair share of household chores and the washing up, then pointed out his son in the audience as he was saying it. Late and Live thrown into chaos as CBB legend Tiffany Pollard brands Daley Thompson 'rotten' as pair have huge spat Later on, Daley took a further swipe at housemates, saying: "In there, all you can do, I think is, all I could do is just try and be the person that I am. "Whereas all the people in there – they're all performative artists, there are some people who are professional reality stars, if you do that all the time, you know how to play the game." The two-time Olympic gold medallist also admitted to having a competitive nature but insisted that didn't extend to wanting to triumph on the show. Again pointing at his son in the audience, Daley said: "No, it's absolutely out of my control. I'd have been happy to come out first or last, on that boy's head." Daley was the third person evicted from the house, the fourth in total to leave the series. Actor Mickey Rourke was removed, with politician Michael Fabricant the first to face the public vote, followed by Trisha Goddard who left on Tuesday night. Daley then made an appearance on CBB spin-off show Late and Live with guest Tiffany Pollard, when he said she "had no friends" for talking as outlandishly as she does. His comment led to Tiffany labelling him "rotten". 5 Daley was the third housemate to face the public vote Credit: Eroteme 5 Viewers wanted to see more from Friday Credit: Eroteme 5 Daley slammed his housemates Credit: Eroteme
