So Ed Sheeran has a new tattoo - a detailed lion emblazoned across his chest.
The singer shared a shot of his new inking from inside the tattoo parlour. At this stage, the design was only half complete, so it may have grown in scale since. No point reining it in Ed.

We've pondered why he would go in for a giant, fierce-looking lion (he's not a Leo, nor a big animal lover), and the real reason is, the design marks his trio of sold-out gigs at Wembley Stadium. He considered having the floor plan inked onto his skin, but recognised that might be "a bit ridiculous". Instead he chose a lion motif to represent the England football team's logo.
He thanked celebrity tattoo artist Kevin Paul on Twitter for adorning him in the animal inking.
And apparently, Ed's not done yet - he plans on having several huge tattoos over the coming months,
"He's going to have his entire back covered, and then across his ribs," said Kevin Paul. "It'll be incredible."
