In May, when he went on vacation with girlfriend Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber offered fans a first glimpse of his brand new tattoo, a religious piece on his ribcage. More photos of it have now emerged online.

Fansite Justin Bieber Shrine has photos of Justin and her dad getting inked at the same time – even more, they got the same tattoo.

That’s right, the etching of the word Jesus in Hebrew on Justin’s ribcage has a match on his father’s body, which means the Biebers make it a sort of family tradition of getting inked together.

Case in point: Justin’s first tattoo is a little bird on the lower abdomen, which more family members have and that he also got with his father.

The new batch of photos show a rather nervous Justin squeezing his father’s hand, as the tattoo artist is getting ready to work on his new piece. See them here.

However, the final one shows the pop star very happy with the result, so one might as well conclude that it was worth to go through some pain for the new tattoo.

After Bieber was spotted with the religious tattoo on vacation, he was photographed with what looked like a third one as well, as we also reported at the time.

In Canada to visit family and friends with Selena, Justin had a huge star on his elbow, prompting talk of how he was really becoming hooked on this type of body art.

To this day, there’s no word on whether the star was the real thing or just a temporary tattoo.

Nevertheless, one should note that fans aren’t exactly happy with this tendency they think they see in their idol: Justin should stop before it’s too late and he’s ruined his body with tattoo, some of them say on dedicated forums.

Of course, there are also those who defend his choice, saying it’s his right to do whatever he wants with his body, even if that happens to be something fans don’t approve of.
