One Direction Tattoo Call on Twitter Retracted

Pop stars Harry Styles, Liam Layne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson had placed a request to see fans tattoos on Twitter, but young lads who make up the pop band One Direction have retracted online requests for fans to send in pictures of their ink and body art.

It appears some parents were outraged at the request.

A representative for the band tells MailOnline.co.uk, "This tweet was posted in error and has now been removed. One Direction do not want to encourage any of their fans to get 1D tattoos."

The original post by the the five British boys asked their followers to show off their tattoos so the band could feature the ink in their upcoming 3D movie and have been asking their devotees to detail their experiences of the group for inclusion in the film.

Over the weekend, a message was uploaded to their social networking accounts stating,

"Have a real 1D tattoo? Show us! Submit a 90 sec YouTube video to 1d3dfan@gmail.com and show us why you should be in the @1D3Dmovie."

The request sparked outrage among parents, and the message was subsequently deleted.
