Justin Bieber’s latest tattoo has finally been unveiled by the artist reportedly behind it.
Celebrity tattooist JonBoy shared an image of the singer’s new inking, the word “Grace” tattooed above his right eyebrow, in an Instagram post looking back at his year.
Bieber and his wife, Hailey Baldwin, were reported to have commemorated their relationship with his-and-hers tattoos back in November, though the singer has been careful to keep the design under wraps until now.
21-year-old Baldwin is yet to reveal her matching design, but a previous Instagram post of the couple shared on JonBoy’s account featured the caption “Style&Grace,” suggesting that her inking reads “style.”
“2018 was a lot of work for me. Both in tattooing and inner work I thought I would never have to face. So many times wanting to give up asking God to take me home,” the tattoo artist wrote underneath his photo of Bieber, which clearly shows the new design above the singer’s brow.
“But then I'm reminded what my purpose in this world is through people like you who get tattooed by me and share your life of struggles, anxieties, lost love ones, memories and victories through these little tattoos that have some of the biggest meaning behind them."
He signed off with a message of thanks to his friends and A-list clients, writing: "Thank you. Thank you to my clients who have become some of my best friends. I love you all! God’s grace is sufficient in our weakness and it is by Gods love we here for 2019!"
Bieber’s fans, however, had a mixed response to his latest tattoo. While some shared their “love” for the design, others were less than impressed, with one writing: “Please tell me that’s not Justin Bieber. Please tell me he didn’t get a face tattoo.”
“Why oh why?” another fan lamented.
Bieber and Baldwin marked their first New Year’s Eve as a married couple with a romantic trip to Oahu, Hawaii, where they reportedly celebrated with a group of the singer’s friends.
“[He] and Hailey looked very happy,” a source told People. “He was very friendly with fans and wished everyone a ‘Happy New Year.’ He said 2018 was a very special year for him.”
