Justin Bieber Tattoo Guide
1. A Seagull In Flight
Bieber’s first tattoo was a seagull/bird in flight, which he has on his left hip. This Justin Bieber Tattoos apparently is part of a Bieber family tradition with most male members getting the same while growing up. It represents the learning to ‘fly’ in life and is based on the seagull from ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’
2. Hebrew Text
Bieber has ‘Yeshua’ in Hebrew tattooed vertically under his left armpit. It literally translates to Jesus.
3. Jesus
One of Justin’s latest tattoos is the face of Jesus with the crown on thrones tattooed on his left leg. This tattoo is a reminder of the strong influence that his dad has on Justin who has a lot of religious ink of his own.
4. Praying Hands
Reiterating the fact that he is an extremely religious person, Bieber flashed a tattoo which is a pair of hands folded in prayer. It is inked on his left leg on the calf.
5. BELIEVE
Bieber showed off his text tattoo ‘Believe’ inked on the inside on his left arm near the elbow on the David Letterman show a couple of years ago.
6. Chinese Character
Later on, Bieber got a Chinese character tattooed on his right arm which turned out to the character used in Chinese to describe ‘Music’. We are not surprised at that choice.
7. Crown
No one knows why really, but we have a general idea of why Bieber would get a crown tattooed on his collarbone. He has a fairly relative notion of being ‘the king’ and hence the tattoo.
8. Son of God
One of his most recent tattoos, Bieber revealed this tattoo to the audience during a performance and is placed above another Justin Beiber tattoo – ‘Purpose’.
9. Small Cross
Justin got a tiny cross tattooed near the corner of his left eye. This tattoo is representative of his faith in God and his constant journey for finding his purpose.
10. Wings
In addition, Bieber has a pair of angel wings tattooed on the back of the neck and it looks super suave!
11. Purpose
As we mentioned earlier, Bieber has the word ‘Purpose’ tattooed on his belly in an arch right above the navel as a pointer to the name of his upcoming album.
12. G
Justin Bieber Tattoos feature the letter ‘G’ on his upper right arm because of a little girl named Georgia. Georgia was a little girl from Massachusetts who was born with a rare brain disorder called Lissencephaly, and he got the letter of her name tattooed on himself as a reminder of the brave fight she put up.
13. LL
According to Biebs, the Justin Bieber Tattoos LL which he got on his right arm literally translates to ‘low lift’. It means when your head is low, lift it up.

15. Graffiti Inspired Star
Another star tattoo, that looks heavily inspired by graffiti art, was inked on Justin’s arm.

19. Cross
Justin Bieber has an outline of a cross tattooed right in the middle of his chest, once again making very evident his firm belief in faith and religion.
