When Liam Payne decided it was time to start working on his sleeve tattoo, he must have meant that quite literally, because in an intense new snap of the One Direction star posted on Instagram by tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado, clocks are the major working theme.

"What I started yesterday on @fakeliampayne still need work top watch is just laid out not complete yet," Nikki wrote of the fresh ink. "Fun tattoo and fun sleeve to start. Can't wait for the next sitting."

The body art seems to be coming along nicely for the boy bander, who is dating X-Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, a source confirmed to ET last week. Liam also made the pairing Instagram official with a sweet photo of Cheryl, writing, "Happy #internationalwomensday to my favourite woman in the world ?? hope I make you as happy as u make me."
