Any Ed Sheeran fan will know that the “Shape of You” singer has a host of tattoos up and down both of his arms. He regularly shows them off on Instagram and while performing. But there’s one tattoo that is largely hidden, which is the most important one in his collection. It’s a huge colorful lion which spans the entirety of Sheeran’s chest.
“A lot of people had a go at me for this. They were, like, ‘That seems like quite a stupid tattoo,'” Sheeran admitted on “The Ellen Show.” However, the tattoo, which he shared on Instagram when it was partially complete (pictured above), has a very special meaning for the singer. “I played the biggest venue you can play in England and sold out for three nights, which was Wembley Stadium. And England’s national emblem is a lion … and all my tattoos are things that I’ve done in my career, and they’re all leading to the middle bit, which is the lion, and that’s the stadium,” he explained.

The singer noted that this tattoo was a symbol for his achievement at Wembley and marked the culmination of everything he’s done in his career. “I think it looks cool. I don’t really care if anyone else does,” he said triumphantly.
