Ed Sheeran doesn't really care what you think of his new, massive lion tattoo. The "Photograph" singer got a little bit of flack after debuting the chest piece on his Instagram earlier this week, but he's defending his choice to get inked, saying it's neither the first not last "weird" ink he's gotten.

Sheeran got the massive lion tattoo, which is only halfway done, to commemorate his three sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium. (The lion is the mascot for the England national football team, which plays at Wembley.)

 Halfway and ouch

However, soon the 24-year-old singer got criticism for the tattoo, but he's dismissing the haters by saying "byeziez" and indicating that his new ink is just as newsworthy as his dinner, which happens to be some pretty OK looking pasta. Sheeran, who sports colorful tattoos up and down both of his arms, also argued that if his new ink was more conventional, he wouldn't be getting any criticism at all.
