Ed Sheeran Fools Fans With Lion Tattoo - Is It Real?!

Earlier this month, Ed Sheeran posted a photo of a brand new HUGE lion tattoo on his chest…or so we thought!

The 24-year-old entertainer updated his Instagram account on Wednesday (August 26) with a selfie of his chest and it was completely bare – no lion!

“Was only joking about the lion” Ed captioned the photo.

Check out the original photo that Ed posted when he originally said he had a new tattoo. Now we’re wondering, what exactly was that lion tattoo for, if anything?

UPDATE: Ed confirms that the tat is real!

“Only joking, covered it up for a TV show didn’t I,” he captioned a new pic. See his photo below!
