Ed Sheeran is planning to add to his gallery of inkings when his new baby arrives.
The musician, 29, who is reportedly expecting his first child with wife Cherry Seaborn, 28, has not decided on the design of the tattoo yet but it is expected that it will be on his lower back, his tattooist shared.
“He has always planned to get tattoos for his kids – being a dad is something that he has always spoken about and the most important thing in his life,” Kevin, who owns Kevin Paul Tattoo Studio in Derby told The Sun.
Kevin, who has worked on Ed’s body art since 2012, added: “Ed hasn’t said what he will get – I’m sure that will be down to if it’s a boy or a girl and what they end up naming them.”
He continued: “I’m sure he will do something pretty bonkers like the rest of his tattoos! I think it’ll be on his back – he has half-covered his back now, but he’s kept the tattoos private as it’s all personal stuff.”
This week reports emerged claiming that Ed and Cherry are “over the moon” to be welcoming a tot in the summer.
A source close to the private couple told the publication that Cherry is already in the final stage of her pregnancy.
They added that the pair have been holed up in their Suffolk home during the pandemic and have hardly been seen – allowing them to keep their baby news quiet.
The inside told the outlet: “Ed and Cherry are over the moon. They’re very excited, but have kept things very low key.
“Lockdown was a perfect excuse not to be seen out and about too much, but things are getting closer and the excitement has been building so they have started telling friends and family.
“They’re just making the last of the preparations at home, and the baby is expected later this summer.
“It’s a really happy time and their families are all totally delighted for them and cannot wait to meet the new arrival.”
The smitten duo tied the knot in December 2018 in front of 40 close friends and family.
Cherry and Ed became official in 2015, but knew each other since their school days. Ed has never been shy about his feelings for Cherry, dedicating his 2017 smash Perfect to her.
