Justin Bieber’s tattoos

After I did an exposé on Rihanna‘s 18 sexy tattoos someone told me Justin Beiber has 11 inked on his own Bieby bod. So of course I had to investigate!

Tattoo # 1 : The family seagull

Justin’s first tattoo on his hip was inked to celebrate his 16th birthday and represents a family tradition, followed by both Bieber’s dad and uncle. It’s meant to be the seagull from Jonathan Livingston Seagull and represents learning to “fly” and learning about life in the process.

Tattoo # 2 : Justin’s Hebrew ribcage tattoo

Bieber’s 2nd tattoo is inked vertically down his ribcage below his left armpit, and reads “Yeshua,” which means “Jesus” in Hebrew. Yup, his dad got one too. (Biebs is Christian but his BFF and manager, Scooter Braun, is Jewish.)

Tattoo # 3 : Jesus Again.

Tattoo # 9 : Hand me those roses.

At some point Biebs decided that his praying hands tattoo was incomplete, so he added some new ink to it including a bunch of roses in black and white below and to the side.

Tattoo # 10 : Native Indian

Justin Bieber celebrated the beginning of this year with a brand new tattoo – a profile of a Native American man on his left shoulder blade. It’s a tribute to his late grandfather and was inspired by a Canadian hockey team called the Stratford Culliton.

Tattoo # 11 : Mom, your numbers up!

On January 14th Justin got ink for his mom. This Roman numeral tattoo below his right collarbone represents his mother, Patricia Mallette‘s, birth year – 1975.

Tattoo # 12 : X marks the spot.

And yet another religious tattoo has found its way on Bieby’s body. A large Greek symbol for Christ inked on his left forearm. Located right next to his infamous owl tattoo, features a simple “X”
