Wellington, Florida – Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy has added another touching tattoo tribute to her collection as it nears one year since the One Direction star‘s untimely and tragic passing.
Cassidy on Tuesday shared a video on her Instagram detailing her journey to get a set of tattoos and piercings with one of her best friends.
In the video, she’s seen having the tattoo etched into her skin and her ears pierced.
The tattoo tribute was particularly special: an exact replica of the fallen rose inking that Payne had on his neck, but this time adorning her thumb.

“If you know me, I only stick to hand tattoos – I just started getting tattoos probably about eight months ago,” Cassidy says in the clip. “And honestly, I love them.”
“Today, I decided to get a fallen rose on my lower thumb,” she explained. “My late boyfriend had this tattooed on his neck, and I just love matching him. And before any of you say ‘You’re obsessed,’ yeah, I mean, I am.”
This isn’t the first tattoo tribute Cassidy has gotten for Payne since he died.
In January, “LP” and “444” inkings were spotted on her hands, both likely references to the Strip That Down singer.
Payne passed away after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16, 2024.
“I don’t even know where to begin,” Cassidy wrote in a tribute to Payne shortly after his death. “I wish you could see the huge impact you’ve had on the world, even if it feels so dark right now.”
