Social media has strong opinions about Harry Styles's armpits on the cover of Rolling Stone
Harry Styles is on the cover of Rolling Stone and it serves as a reminder that social media has strong opinions about armpits.
We knew this — especially when it comes to women who have a little or a lot of armpit hair (see: Halsey and Emily Ratajkowski) — but were reminded by the singer’s shirtless pose with tattoos and teeth on display as well as pits and nips. While it is for sure a widely-admired cover (“I AM NOT BREATHING,” is a widely-liked reaction), there is a lot of banter about his underarms — pro, con and beyond — as well as his nipples, as he has four. (Yes, you read that right.)
There are many people who are very into Styles’s armpits.
I've never been attracted by some armpits until I saw this photo of harry styles , is it normal?

Conversely, there are many who are in the “too much armpit” camp.

Get harry styles armpits off my tl
— ADHDaniel (@the_dantichrist) August 19, 2019
This is making me uncomfortable. His head is in focus, but his torso isn’t. His nipples look weird. And let’s not even get into the armpits. 😨😬

Frankly, we’re not sure if this is a positive or negative reaction.
Gna keep myself hydrated today by licking the sweat off Harry Styles’ armpits

Some have questions about the former One Direction boy bander’s pits.

Why does Harry Styles have less armpit hair than me https://t.co/puj0BNoKtp

Others had thoughts about his pit grooming.
i’m glad harry styles trims his armpit hair otherwise i would have absolutely no respect for him as an entity

There was even a “Hairy Styles” armpit pun.

And lest you worry that his nipples were left out of the conversation, know that they weren’t. While they didn’t get as much attention as the pits, they are a hot topic too.
His moth tattoo makes it look like his nipples are eyes and his chest is smiling.

I think this is the first time that exposed male nipples on a RS cover looks obscene. I’m confused about why... 🤔
— Michelle Matteson (@MichelleMattes4) August 20, 2019
And, fun fact, Styles has four nipples — it’s a condition called polythelia. So there are additional comments about that, with it noted that it’s unfair the third one made it in on the cover and the fourth didn’t.

— courtney (@courtantoniello) August 19, 2019
Not enough coverage of the third nipple imo
— Logan 🌸 (@tuffcontender) August 19, 2019
The third is there, right by the butterfly! The fourth one gets no stardom, though. Poor thing.

im glad the extra nipples didnt get edited out
— lena (@tenderhvrry) August 19, 2019
I see they included his superfluous nipple.

Styles, who recently turned down the role of Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid movie remake, will reportedly drop his second album “this summer/early fall,” according to reports.
