James Arthur unveils new giant tiger tattoo on his chest... after previously admitting he regrets 'every single one' of his inkings
He confessed last year that he regretted 'every single one' of his extensive collection of tattoos.
But James Arthur appears to have had a change of heart as the former X Factor winner, 31, got some new ink on Tuesday.
The star's tattoo artist took to Twitter to share a picture of the giant inking - a tiger face on James' chest.

The new body art sits directly beneath his old tattoo of the Shakespeare quote '[all] the world's a stage'.
Tattoo artist Clara Sinclair tweeted: 'Finished this up on the lovely @JamesArthur23 yesterday. The proof is in the puddin, you can be at the top of your craft and still be an awesome, down to earth human. Thanks for the trust and the great banter.'
Revealing that he was set to get more tattoos in future, James replied: 'Look forward to doing more with you! You’re the women to go to for great tattoos and great vibes :) ! And great cats!'.

James previously revealed he wished he hadn't had so many tattoos while speaking to BANG Showbiz at Capital's Summertime Ball last summer.
Asked if there were any inkings he regrets getting, he said: 'I regret every one of them, yeah. Every single one, yeah.'
In 2016, James underwent laser tattoo removal on his most visible body art in a bid to boost his Hollywood career.

He removed an owl on his neck, a tear on his face and a crown on his hand in the hopes of landing acting roles.
Speaking to the Daily Star at the time, he explained: 'I've already had nine sessions. They take a while and cost a lot of money but it will be worth it.
'I really want to do acting and don’t want to be typecast because of my tattoos.'
