ONE DIRECTION IN LA: NIALL HORAN GOES SHOPPING & HARRY STYLES HEADS TO THE TATTOO PARLOUR

BEARDY'S BACK. BACK AGAIN.

The One Direction lads took a break from their hectic promotional tour yesterday to enjoy some leisure time in LA. 

While Niall indulged in a spot of shopping (seriously, could Goldilocks get any more perfect?) Harry made a beeline for the nearest tattoo shop. Obviously.

CHRIST he's drawn to them like a moth to a flame, isn't he? If there's a buzzing needle and some fresh ink within a ten mile radius, you can guarentee Hazza will sniff it out.

Apparently, the curly-haired lovebot spent FIVE HOURS in the Shamrock tattoo parlour in West Hollywood, before being mobbed by fans as he attempted to leave with his new inking.

No word yet as to what he's had permantly inscribed on his body this time - although some are suggesting he's simply had his 'Things I Can' and 'Thing's I Can't' inscriptions completed.

Niall, meanwhile, used his free time to pursue a slightly less painful (and permanant) pastime - he hit the shops.

Specifically, he browsed H&M and the Armani Exchange, in case you were wondering. WHICH OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE.

Look at that walk, that gaze - he's done this before.

The Blonde Bombshell paused to greet fans while stocking up on new togs - and revealed something quite amazing in the process.

His t-shirt was frickin' see-through. Yes, yes - those are indeed Niall Horan's PANTS you can see. Try and stay calm now

Now, we realise that you're probably still distracted by the fact you can see more than just a hint of nipple in this particular photo - but there is something else we'd like to draw your attention to.

NIALL'S BEARDY FRIEND IS BACK. We're actually growing rather fond of him and his peculiar facial fuzz.

What do you make of all this?
