Pop star Kelsy Karter gets Harry Styles inked on her cheek

New Zealand-born singer Kelsy Karter took to Instagram this weekend to show off her new ink. The 24-year-old posted the photo of the new face tattoo, an image of former One Direction frontman Harry Styles, with the caption: 'Mama, look what I made me do.' Some fans, however, are claiming that the tattoo is fake, and nothing more than an elaborate hoax to gain attention for the fledgling pop star.

Eeek — Kelsy Karter got her face inked.

The New Zealand-born singer, 24, posted a photo of her freshly needled Harry Styles tattoo on Instagram Sunday with the following parental advisory: “Mama, look what I made me do.”

LA-based tattoo artist Romeo Lacoste is taking credit Karter’s extreme about-face. Her 44,000-plus Insta followers suspect it was based off a promotional shot from the former One Direction frontman’s self-titled 2017 album, which features Styles in a soaking wet, baby blue velvet suit.

I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised by Karter’s skin deep devotion, after all, she previously tweeted “Finally know what I’m getting Harry for his birthday.” (The baby-faced superstar turns 25 on Feb. 1.)

Karter’s Styles-stalking is well documented. In a 2018 i-D magazine profile, she declared herself a “female version” of him and boasted, “I really want to work with him. Let’s work, Harry. Where you at? Mark my words: I’m getting a song on his album.”

While it’s unclear if these two have even met, Karter has reportedly recorded a still unreleased collab with Styles’ former bandmate, Zayn Malik.

Some fans are speculating the tat is an elaborate hoax; little more than a big attention grab for the fledgling pop star.

Just one question: fake or not — does this even look like Harry Styles?
