Done in black and grey ink, the etching of the bird is quite big, covering a large mass of his forearm Justin accompanied the image with the caption: 'Befo the paps get me.' While he is prone to pranks, the arm in the picture certainly appears to be of the singer's - his 'Believe' tattoo also visible in the snap. This is the second tattoo Justin has obtained in a matter of weeks. At the start of last month he revealed a crown design on his upper chest on the right side on his Twitter page, before explaining the reasons behind the etching.
He tweeted: 'New tattoo its a crown if you couldn't tell.'
In the picture, Justin is seen going shirtless to show off the new design, reclining on his bed.
Justin has already amassed quite a collection of inkings, despite his tender age. The teenager debuted a tattoo on his right arm - the Japanese Kanji symbol for music in July. He also has the word Believe tattoo inked on his left arm, and in March had a praying hand inking etched onto his leg, which is thought to represent the power of prayer and the Almighty.
Justin underwent his first inking of a bird on his hip at the tender age of 16, and followed it with the Hebrew word for Jesus on his ribcage when he and his dad opted to get matching tattoos during a trip to Israel.
Continuing with his collection of religious tattoos, the Canadian singer later had an image of Jesus etched onto his left leg.
