PopUps: Watch Bieber Explain His Tattoos in Shirtless Interview
Over the years, we've seen Justin Bieber get more and more inked up. So much so that most of his Beilebers probably lost track of which tattoo means what. Well, don't fret because the "Sorry" singer recently explained the meaning of some of his tats in a black-and-white video interview with GQ magazine.
"This is Jesus right here," Bieber said, pointing to his leg, adding, "I didn't want to put it somewhere visible yet because the world didn't know i was getting tattoos. I was only like 17."
When asked to pick out his favorite tatt, the 21-year-old pop star pointed to the angel wings on the back of his neck.
"It took about three-and-a-half hours or four hours. And the worst part about it is i had to be like this," Bieber said while craning his neck downward.
The singer also explained the eye on his right forearm is an image of his mother's eye, and the roman numerals on his upper chest is his mother's birthday.
"This is an owl, it signifies wisdom," he said while siting in front of a piano. "X means unknown. You know, they may know the shell of me or the artist but not necessarily me," Bieber said of another tat.
But one of the more interesting explanations is a tattoo of an angel, which Bieber said is his ex-girlfriend.
"I tried to cover her face up with some shading. But people still know," he said, possibly referring to on-again-off-again ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
Bieber also confesses he is not a fan of tramp stamps, on males or females, calling out soccer star David Beckham.
"I think David Beckham has a lower tramp stamp...and that's no good!" he said.
