He's the only member of One Direction to have refused to succumb to the tattooist's needle.
So Niall Horan cut a somewhat unusual figure as he showed off his tattoo-free torso while bandmate Harry Styles displayed his array of inkings as the bandmates did some sunbathing in Miami, Florida.
Wearing a pair of low-slung board shorts and Calvin Klein briefs, Niall showed off his muscly, and etching-free, chest as he soaked up the sunshine.
Teaming his summer look with a backwards baseball cap and sunglasses, Niall found himself mobbed by eager fans as he headed back to his room following n afternoon by the pool.
Harry was equally popular, with gaggles of girls clamouring to get close to the singer as his bodyguards flanked him on either side to ensure a safe journey inside.
The pair's day in the sun came amid claims of a One Direction split, following the leak of what was claimed to be a solo song by Harry.
The moving ballad, entitled Don't Let Me Go, quickly trended worldwide, with songwriter Sam McCarthy, who is believed to have helped pen he track, tweeting: '@Harry_Styles. Trending worldwide lol. You must be quite popular x.'
And after receiving hundreds of messages from eager 1D fans, Sam later wrote on Twitter: 'Wow! Thanks for all the nice tweets about the song. Harry did most of the words I did the music. X.'
However, following speculation that the solo track could be a sign that One Direction were planning to split, a spokesperson for the band insisted that the song was in fact an old demo that the band chose not to use on a previous album.
The spokesperson said: '"It was a demo they worked on over a year ago that was being considered for a One Direction song. Sometimes the boys write and record separately as they work on new material but this is not a solo release.'
One Direction are currently in the middle of the North American leg of their Take Me Home tour, and performed in Miami on Friday night.
Following the show, Harry tweeted a picture of the crowd of thousands, writing: 'Thank you Miami.. You were so good. See you soon .x'
