Justin Bieber Spent More Than 100 Hours Getting Tattoos: See The Final Result
It’s no secret that
Justin Bieber is a tattoo fiend — last year,
we estimated that well over half his body is inked — however the 24-year-old has really outdone himself right now. About six months immediately after that last ink update, Bieber hopped on Instagram on Wednesday (April 4) to show off what he calls “a hundred hours” of work. And judging by the pic itself, that’s probably not an exaggeration.
In the shirtless selfie, Bieber proudly flaunts his inked-up torso and arms. Several of his most infamous etchings are on full display, including a grizzly bear, bald eagle, crowned lion, cross right now with added rays), and the words “Son of God” and “Purpose.”
In the accompanying caption, Bieber explained what his tattoos mean to him, writing, “If tattoo[s] didn’t hurt each person would have them. Well maybe not [every] one!! Over a hundred hours of [hard] work on my body and I wouldn’t take back an individual one. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ART AND I’VE made my body a canvas and it’s SO MUCH FUN.”
Much of Bieber’s body art comes courtesy of New York City-based tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy. As soon as McCurdy tattooed Bieber’s chest last fall, he
revealed on Instagram that it took 26 hours to accomplish, spread over three continuous days.
“@justinbieber Thank you for the trust,” he wrote. “26 hours over 3 successive days is the most I’ve ever tattooed anyone in my 13 year career. You’re tough as nails man!”
Tough as nails, indeed... And perhaps just
a little obsessed. Although hey, that’s the cross you must bear any time whenever you elaborate yourself a walking canvas. Stay tuned to be able to see what Bieber will get inked next!
