The 'Only Way Is Essex' star has taken to Twitter to reveal he's had an orange and white fox inked on the top right of his arm, which Arg said "hurt"and he subsequently asked for the opinions of his 1.5 million followers.

Alongside a selfie showcasing the new body art, he wrote: "So this happened - only went and got my first ever tattoo! It HURT. What do you guys think?? (sic)"

The tattoo resembles something similar to Ed Sheeran's lion chest piece, which he later revealed was false.

However, it seems Arg has been keeping his new addition under wraps for over a week as he was spotted heading into the tattoo parlour In Ink We Trust studios in Eltham, Greenwich last Sunday (13.09.15).

The 27-year-old 'TOWIE' star was seen looking through a book of designs before getting the piece done with a smile on his face.

Although there is proof of Arg attending the tattoo parlour, it's already been speculated he is pranking his fans while his reality TV star girlfriend Lydia Bright is yet to publicly comment on Arg's artwork.
