Wait…didn’t this kid just turn 18 & already he’s sporting more tattoos than Rihanna?? Well, maybe not as much as her, but Justin Bieber is definitely getting there.

The Biebs recently decided to share with his Instagram followers his NEW permanent work of art. Check it out…

Justin included the caption, “Befo the paps get me!” I guess he wanted to set the record straight before the media caught wind of it. Although, he did not give an explanation to what this owl tattoo means. I guess we are left to ponder.

At the mere age of 18, THIS tattoo is his eighth…here are his others…

  • A crown on the right side of his chest
  • The title of his latest album, Believe, on his forearm
  • A praying hand on one of his legs
  • Japanese Kanji symbol for music on his right arm
  • The Hebrew word for Jesus on his ribcage
  • An image of Jesus on his left calf
  • The outline of a smaller bird on his left hip

We have a feeling Bieber is JUST getting started…
