In Case You Didn't Know, Celebrities Really Love Lion Tattoos

As one of the few celebs with lion tattoos that are actually leos, it's a good guess that Rumer got her bicep tattoo in the name of her sign. 

Demi turned to New York's Bang Bang tattoo parlor for the latest addition to her growing tattoo collection. The singer got a black-and-white lion's head on the back of her hand. 

Ed's mid-tattoo Instagram of his lion chest piece sparked a great debate over whether or not it was real. The singer confirmed that the tattoo was permanent during an appearance on The Ellen Show in 2015. He told Ellen that the ink had a dual meaning. Ed's colorful lion commemorates the time he sold out three shows at London's Wembley Stadium, and it's England's national emblem.

If you follow Cara on Instagram you know she loves lions from the photos she's posted to her feed. In 2013 she made things official with her favorite animal by enlisting New York's celebrity-favorite tattoo artist Bang Bang for a portrait on her right index finger. 

Liam Payne liked his lion crest bicep tattoo so much he debated getting a second one inked on the back of his left hand. After taking the fake tattoo of the animal’s face for a test drive, he opted to go with black-and-white rosebuds instead. However, the crest on his left arm is, in fact, the real deal.

Mena has been rocking a large lion on the back of her neck with the words "word, sound, power" below it since 2010. In 2012 the actress updated her tat with more script above the original piece.

The meaning behind most of Justin's tattoos and his no-chill approach to Instagram remains unknown, so we're not even going to try to guess why he got a lion's head wearing a crown on his chest. Just admire the piece done by New York tattoo artist Bang Bang.
