He has tattoos all over his arms: a colorful sleeve on one arm, a tree and a bear on the other. But no one expected Ed Sheeran to get a massive lion tattoo in the middle of his chest.

Taylor Swift's BFF shared a photo with his Instagram followers on Tuesday. The picture featured an unfinished tattoo of a detailed, colored lion head.

"Halway and ouch," the "Photograph" singer captioned his photo. This one definitely beats Kendall Jenner's tiny, barely even seen, tattoo on her finger.

In July, Sheeran explained that he will get a tattoo to honor his three sold-out shows in Wembley Stadium. "Originally I was going to get the floor plan tattooed on my side, but that seemed a bit ridiculous," he told BBC News.

However, he chose to get a tattoo of a lion. The lion represents England football team's logo. "It's going to hurt," the singer said.

This last addition to his collection of tattoos beats all his others. The artist, Kevin Paul, responsible for the masterpiece on the singer's chest later tweeted to Sheeran.

"Can't wait to start the rest it's going to be amazing love you dude," Paul wrote in his tweet.

Impressive. But ouch!
