CELEB REFRESH: Ed Sheeran’s Tattoo Artist Talks Smack About Ed’s Ink

Ed Sheeran’s tattoo artist, Kevin Paul, is telling it like it is — and we’re kinda loving it.

Kevin recently admitted to the Daily Mirror that the pop star’s body art is “sh*t” and that it’s been scaring clients away as a result. LOL!

Kevin has worked with Ed over 40 times, and is not shy about criticizing the child-like images covering his body, saying, “I take the piss out of Ed all the time, when I’m with him, that they are s–t. They are!”

“But every single thing that he’s got is personal to him,” Kevin added.

Kevin has also tattooed the likes of Harry Styles, Cara Delevingne, and Rihanna. But working with Ed has been the “best thing to happen to my career and the worst.”

“I was a big massive artist doing 3D-work and winning multi awards. And then all of a sudden you end up doing Pingu the Penguin and f–king gingerbread men on pop stars,” he told the paper. “Everybody just thought I was s–t, but I’m not.”

Haha! Let this be a lesson: the ink shall not define the man.
