Ed Sheeran is making sure nobody can miss him going shirtless ever again.

The 24-year-old British singer debuted his huge new lion chest tattoo Tuesday on Instagram, and to say it's an eyecatcher is an understatement. And, according to Ed, it's only halfway done.

"Halfway and ouch," he wrote.

But before you start thinking Ed's showing his support for Cecil the Lion, the new ink is actually of the England football team's logo, which is his way of commemorating his sold-out shows at the legendary Wembley Stadium in London last month. Ed recently made history as the first artist to headline Wembley unaccompanied, taking to the stage with just his guitar.

"Originally I was going to get the floor plan tattooed on my side, but that seemed a bit ridiculous," he told the BBC about his special tattoo plans.

Ed, of course, no stranger to tattoos. The "Thinking Out Loud" crooner is heavily inked on both arms, his artwork including such seemingly random things as a teddy bear, a Heinz ketchup bottle, and the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" logo.
