Liam Payne has revealed the 'meaning' behind Louis Tomlinson's '28' tattoo but as conflicting stories emerge fans want to know the real message behind the ink...

Liam Payne has apparently revealed the meaning behind One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson's '28' tattoo whilst answering fans' questions on a TikTok live chat.

Louis Tomlinson was part of One Direction from 2010 up until their hiatus in 2015. It makes sense that along the way, he fostered bonds with the other members of the band.They worked long hours.

1. The latest tweets from @LouisUpdates.
2. The latest Tweets from Louis Tomlinson News (@LouisWTNews). Fan account dedicated to supporting, promoting and providing updates on singer-songwriter @LouisTomlinson.
3. The latest tweets from @LouisFRUpdates.

However fans aren't convinced the adorable meaning he suggested is accurate and are debating amongst themselves what the number truly represents.

Let's take a look at all the possibilities, from house numbers to a football shirt tribute and what the 'Kill My Mind' singer has to say about it all...

What is the meaning behind Louis Tomlinson's '28' tattoo?

During a recent TikTok live, Liam, 27, was all-too-happy to answer all kinds of questions about the 1D boys including just what Louis' finger ink means.

Liam said: 'I think it was his old house number where he used to live.'

However, the 'Bedroom Floor' singer's claim hasn't come without drama, as nothing gets past the 1D and Louis fans who have heard the '28' means other things and have taken to Twitter to shut Liam's claim down.

Louis has previously said the tattoo harks back to the time he played for his childhood football team, Doncaster Rovers, in a charity match where he wore the No.28.

This has lead to confusion, with one fan writing:

'The amount of different stories we have heard for his tattoo.'

the amount of different stories we have heard for his tattoo 💀

Louis said it's his football jersey's number and Liam says it's a house number, pls decide which one it is

The ink is certainly causing a lot of conversation, but perhaps the number has cropped up throughout his life and gained meaning in that way?

Louis, hun, please clear this up- the people need to know!

Where is Louis Tomlinson's '28' tattoo?

Louis Tomlinson got '28' inked across two of his fingers back in 2015 during a tattoo session with Erik Gillespie in Chicago.

During the session he got another tattoo, in a more NSFW area, so the number clearly has enormous meaning to him if he threw it in at the same time.

But what the true meaning is remains unclear...

'Harry Tomlinson' has been trending on Twitter after One Direction fans launched a debate over who would change their last name in a marriage of Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.

1D fans were going back and forth on social media about whether Harry would become Harry Tomlinson or if Louis would become Louis Styles.

The overwhelming majority seems to think that Harry would be the one to change his name!

Fans have been dreaming up a relationship between Harry and Louis for years and the fan-fiction even became a plot point in the HBO series Euphoria.

Last year, Louiscommented on all the 'Larry Stylinson' rumors and he slammed HBO for that scene in Euphoria.
