Ed Sheeran's Tattoo Artist Thinks The Singer's Tattoos Are 'S--t'

Ed Sheeran‘s body is covered in tattoos, but the man who did a bulk of those tattoos for him is not a fan of his work.

“His tattoos aren’t very good,” tattoo artist Kevin Paul told The Mirror. “And I take the piss out of Ed all the time, when I’m with him, that they are s–t. They are! But every single thing that he’s got is personal to him.”

Kevin says that he lost clients after doing the tattoos, but it also helped his career.

“It definitely changed things, I was a big massive artist doing 3D-work and winning multi awards. And then all of a sudden you end up doing Pingu the Penguin and f–king gingerbread men on popstars,” he added. “And all that client base just dies off but the doorways it has opened for me are much bigger.”

“The thing is with Ed, he is the best thing to happen to my career and the worst. Before I started working with celebs l was a multi award winning artist doing great work. Then after doing Ed, mainly that client base dropped off and I was known for doing tacky little cartoon style tattoos for him and Harry Styles,” he said.
