Justin Bieber is getting the hang of this tattoo thing, it would seem. On a recent beach outing with his father, the teen heartthrob flashed another piece inked on his body: the face of Jesus on his calf.

Granted, his fans must already know that this is not his first religious tattoo: a devout Christian, Justin has long chosen to show his faith in the inkings on his body.

On his first vacation with Selena Gomez, his girlfriend, he flashed the writing “Jesus” in Hebrew on the side of his torso.

He's now added one more to the collection – and you can see photos here at the Daily Mail.

Justin, his father and a couple of friends hung out in LA at the beach the other day, offering the paparazzi the perfect chance to snap countless pictures of him.

A closeup of the new piece is also included with this article but it's a rather blurry photo.

“He's a vocal follower of Christianity. But now Justin Bieber has proclaimed his faith in indelible ink after having an image of Jesus tattooed on to his left calf,” the Mail writes, adding that Justin is a Belieber too now.

“The 17-year-old singer – who is dating Selena Gomez – was joined by his father Jeremy – a fellow tattoo enthusiast,” notes the Mail.

“Bieber's latest inking is based on the image of Jesus called Ecce Homo dating back to 1610 by artist Rubens. The design was first spotted back in December, although it could only be partially seen,” says the tab.

Justin's first tattoo was a small bird on his lower abdomen, which he also got as part of a family tradition. So far, he and his father share 2 tattoos, the bird and the Hebrew writing on their ribcage.
