Remember that time Ed Sheeran got a HUGE tattoo of a lion (possibly Cecil) on his chest and everyone went a bit mental over it?

Yeah well now he's posted the below pic on Instagram and we are losing our minds:

We have a few questions:

1. Is that just foundation covering up the lion, which is still real?
2. Was the lion simply drawn on and all a joke?
3. Is that in fact his back?
4. Did he have to cover the lion up for his burgeoning acting career?
5. Why is he wearing a v neck jumper made of tissues?
6. Are we thinking too far into this?

Sorry Ed.

BUT WE NEED ANSWERS. Here's the original pic for comparison purposes:

Update:

Ed clearly heard our cries for help and has since put us out of our misery. Phew!
