Ed Sheeran has unveiled the latest addition to his tattoo collection which shows a koala bear climbing a tree.

The latest ink work features around the 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You' singer's elbow and extends the sleeve on his left arm.

The BRIT Award winning star was performing live in Australia at Perth Western when he displayed the tattoo.

The star will also head out on a new headline UK tour in October.
