๐ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ-๐๐ผ๐ฎ: This tattoo is dedicated to Calumโs sister,ย Mali-Koa Hood. โItโs my sisterโs name. Sheโs my best friend, and no one else gets me like she does. I go to her for everything,โ he said in an interview withย Capital FM.
"๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ ๐ง๐ผ๐๐ฟ '๐ญ๐ฒ" ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฅ: Calum got this tattoo after the rest of the band left him in Bali, Indonesia after their vacation in 2016. During the same 2016 trip Calum and his friend Roy got each otherโs initials tattooed. He lost his passport.
๐๐๐๐ฉ๐: Calum has never explicitly said the meaning of this tattoo, but once in anย interviewย he revealed that he used to own a necklace from the brandย The Giving Keysย which said โalive.โ
๐ฆ๐ถ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ณ: Calumย admittedย that this tattoo was initially supposed to be a silver fern leaf to represent New Zealand, where his mom is from, but it ended up looking more like a feather.
๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ป๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น๐: Represents the year 5SOS became a band โ when he was 16 years old. Both Calum and Michael got tattoos while they were in Los Angeles and because they were underage at the time, Liam Payneย paid for it.
๐ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ด๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ: Calum got this dagger in June 2019 while the band was on tour in London. It matches Ashtonโs serpent tattoo and represents their friendship. *not confirmed*

๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ต๐ถ๐๐๐น๐ฒ: Calum got this tattoo because his dad is Scottish, but it actually has a much deeper meaning. The legend of the Scottish thistle says that the plantย represents bravery, courage, and loyalty when faced with danger or hard times.

๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐จ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ผ: Calum has previously stated thatย The Usedย is one of his favorite bands. This tattoo seemingly represents the Utah-based rock groupโs second studio albumย In Love and Death.
โ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒโ: โFor those who are wondering the tattoo relates to a movie calledย Trainspotting. One of the first movies I watched with my father,โ heย wrote. โI recently fell back in love with it for many other reasons. The tattoo symbolizes reflection and perspective!โ
