Ed Sheeran — X Marks the Spot

The inking, which he captioned

“Halfway and ouch”,

is of a lion and looks like it will take over most of his chest when complete.

Ed Sheeran has uploaded a photo of what appears to be his latest tattoo.

Ed kept his followers in the loop with the body art which was completed by celebrity tattoo artist Kevin Paul.

He tweeted: “Lion is courtesy of kp_est78, who puts up with me complaining about the pain”.

Kevin then replied: “Can’t wait to start the rest it’s going to be wonderful love you dude xxx”.

The coulorful ink is so big that some fans believe it’s just been drawn on with a felt-tip pen.

Frontman Jake Roche said: “It sounds ridiculous but it’s because we’re the opposite of lads”.

Speaking to Mirror Celeb, Kevin previously told us Ed is keen to get more tattoos but wants to make sure they can be covered up so he doesn’t ruin his future wedding snaps. “His is on his chest, Charley’s is on his ribs, Lewi’s is on his arms and Danny’s is on his a**e”.
