Justin Bieber’s New Tattoo Is a Powerful Symbol

MAY 26, 2011

Justin Bieber was recently spotted with a tattoo of Jesus’ name in Hebrew under his arm. But can 17 year old boy get a tattoo? Does that go against Bieber’s faith or religion?

Pastor Kyle Steven Bonenberger from City Church in Anaheim California thinks Jusin Bieber’s tattoo is not only OK but also a powerful way of telling the world “I follow Jesus.” And he doesn’t see a problem with it.

“Justin Bieber, he is probably arguably one of the biggest celebrities in the world right now. I think in his case, it’s a pretty powerful way of saying ‘I follow Jesus.’” said Pastor.

Last year, Justin was spotted with his first tattoo of a bird on his hip. According to reports, getting a tattoo was a family tradition commemorating Bieber’s 16th birthday.

So who’s the JB’s tattoo artist? According to MTV, the tattoo artist is a lifelong friend of Justin’s dad, Jeremy Bieber.
