A YOUNG woman has revealed that when she was just 17, she 'snuck out' and got a matching tattoo with Harry Styles.
Savannah Phillips, a young woman from the United States, has gone viral online after opening up about the tattoo story and is now the envy of every One Direction fan.
Posting on social media, the blonde beauty shared a snap of her and Harry Styles, 31, from back in 2012, and claimed that Harry had sketched a heart for her, which she got tattooed on her ankle.
After being bombarded with hundreds of questions from desperate One Direction fans who were eager to know more on the backstory, soon after Savannah uploaded a follow-up clip, whereby she explained how her friendship with Harry started.
Savannah claimed that she first met Harry, who was recently spotted snogging a mystery woman at Glastonbury, and the rest of the One Direction band in Los Angeles, whilst out for her aunt's birthday at the W Hotel.
Whilst eating lunch, Savannah and her family soon noticed that One Direction were sitting next to them and they eventually got talking.
After finding out that it was one of One Direction's first times in LA, Savannah recommended they go to In-N-Out Burger - and before long, they were all there together.
Not only this, but the lads then invited Savannah and her family to one of their concerts.
Savannah and Harry in particular stayed connected through texting and just a few weeks later, when Savannah was only 17 at the time, she found herself in her car with Harry.
They went to her house where they tucked into shrimp tacos and Harry shared his desire to get a tattoo that evening, as she explained: 'Harry kept mentioning throughout the night, 'I wanna get a tattoo'.'
Savannah claimed that she had always wanted a tattoo, but her mother wouldn't allow it.
Despite this, the pair soon found themselves in a tattoo parlour, as Savannah confessed: 'He goes and grabs a big piece of paper and a pen and he's just drawing something for like five, 10 minutes, and then he walks up to me with a piece of paper and is like 'get this'.'

Savannah confirmed that Harry had called her mum from the shop to get her approval and just minutes later, she had his sketched heart inked onto her ankle.
Savannah beamed: 'I got it done and it didn't hurt, because I think my adrenaline was pumping so hard.'

Savannah later confirmed that Harry also got inked whilst with her that same night.
Reflecting on her friendship with Harry, Savannah acknowledged: 'People ask if we're still in touch and, no, I haven't been in touch with Harry for a very long time, but I know if I run into him on the street, he would give me a hug, it'd be like no time had passed.
'I still do keep in contact with some of the crew and the band members - we all have very different lives now, it was a very strange, surreal and sweet chapter of my life that I am very grateful for.'
Which tattoos hurt the most?
Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels.
Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone.
Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain.
Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings.
Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface.
Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful.
Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful.
Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones.
Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes.
Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface.
