Madame Tussauds and Merlin Magic Making in collaboration with interactive attractions experts Seeper, have created a one-of-a-kind tattoo selfie opportunity at Madame Tussauds Amsterdam.
Fans can get closer to Zayn Malik than ever before, combining projection know-how with real-time animation expertise, the new attraction ‘inks’ the visitor’s portrait onto Zayn Malik‘s chest.
Visitors have their portrait photo taken, choose their favourite frame style and then pose next to Zayn with their face emblazoned on the star’s chest for a one-off souvenir selfie.
Malik came to prominence as a member of the boy band One Direction, discovered by TV blockbuster The X Factor. He left the band in 2015 to pursue a solo career and his first solo hit Pillowtalk shot to the top of the charts in both the the UK and the US.
