Liam Payne’s Girlfriend Kate Cassidy Explains Why Removing Tattoo Tributes

Kate Cassidy is still holding onto her midnight memories.

Nearly two years after the death of her boyfriend Liam Payne, the influencer clarified the reason she is removing a collection of tattoos from her hand, some of which were tributes to the late One Direction member. 

“The only reason that I am lasering off these tattoos is literally just because they are too thick for my liking,” Cassidy said in a July 29 TikTok. “These are the very first tattoos I ever received—I’ve already talked about this before—and I went somewhere really random and I asked for a fine line tattoo.”

However, despite her expectation of getting “very faint” and “very fine” markings, the 27-year-old added, “I ended up getting this thick, bulky, whatever.”

So, Cassidy underwent laser removal to take off a pair of angel wings, a star and the number four—her and Payne’s angel number—that she had on her fingers.

Despite removing the tributes, Cassidy—who is planning to get the tattoos redone on a different part of her hand—shut down speculation that she is moving on from her love for Payne.
