Justin Bieber’s controversial face tattoo has finally been explained
After recently revealing a teeny-tiny face tattoo on Instagram, Justin Bieber did what he does best, and sent his fans and followers into a total meltdown. (Obvs)
While some Beliebers were quick to question whether the 22-year-old singer had inadvertently gotten a gang-related symbol inked on his upper cheekbone, others fangirled all over themselves and told Justin he was totes obliged to live his true authentic life. (Not in so many words, but you know.)
Anyway, according to the star's tattoo artist, it looks like his fans were tying themselves in knots over nothing.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Justin's tattoo artist JonBoy explain that the tat is a tiny cross and something that the Sorry singer had wanted for some time.
"I think it was already kind of brewing in his head. I think when he saw mine and just how subtle it is, I think he saw that and thought 'Oh, that's pretty cool, I could rock something like that.' It doesn't look gawdy on him," he explained.
"We were sitting there and chatting about why we wanted it near the eye, and it's really to see people through the cross – to see people with our eyes through the cross with our grace and with our love," JonBoy continued.
Reminding the public that Justin's tat wasn't a way to rile up his followers, JonBoy said: "He didn't do anything to hurt his fans."
"He's still going to create awesome music – if anything, he's going to be reminded and inspired everyday why he's here on Earth, and that's just to love on people."
So, that's it. It's just a way for him to just love us more – What a relief…
