Celebrities love to get tattoos and usually, fans are 100 percent on board. Sometimes, however, celebs get ink that fans hope (even just for a fleeting moment) might be fake.

Harry Styles has a lot of tattoos, but even hardcore One Direction fans hoped this giant butterfly was a joke. It was not though, and it eventually grew on people. Hopefully.

2. Ed Sheeran's Lion Tattoo

In August 2015, Ed Sheeran unveiled a giant lion tattoo on his chest. Fans thought the tattoo was a joke, but he confirmed in a November 2015 interview with Ellen that it was definitely real.

3. Cara Delevingne's Eyes Tattoo

Cara Delevingne tapped NYC tattoo artist Bang Bang to ink a pair of eyes on the back of her neck. The art is beautiful, but also creepy. And also very real.

4. Miley Cyrus' Vegemite Tattoo

Tattoo artist Dr. Woo shared a picture of Miley Cyrus' tattoo tribute to her Australian love, Liam Hemsworth: A jar of Vegemite. Some fans thought there might have been better ways to honor Liam, but to each their own.

5. Justin Bieber's Jesus Portrait Tattoo

Bieber has a lot of tattoos, but some fans were a little incredulous of the portrait of Jesus Christ he got on his calf.
