It is hard to say whether Ed Sheeran's lion tattoo is fake or real as the singer is continuously messing with his fans.
After getting a lukewarm response for his lion tattoo, the 24-year-old singer took to his Instagram page to post a picture, in which he showed his bare, ink- free chest and captioned "Was only joking about the lion," News.au.com reports.
Shortly after his post, the 'Thinking Out Loud' hit-maker shared another picture revealing that the lion tattoo was in fact real, saying, "Only joking, covered it up for a TV show didn't I".
Interestingly, Sheeran already possesses several other tattoos in form of a ketchup bottle, teddy bear, tree and LEGO piece.
