Photos of Justin Bieber and Dad Getting Matching Jesus Tattoos Hit Internet

Remember when Justin Bieber showed up in Hawaii with Selena Gomez sporting a new tattoo just above his ribcage? The tattoo was reportedly the Hebrew word for Jesus, and photos of JB showing it off, along with his chiseled abs, ricocheted around the Web. Now, new photos have just hit the Internet that show the entire process of the Biebs getting inked. And guess who was there in the tattoo parlor supporting him and literally holding his hand? A hint: it wasn't Selena Gomez.

Justin Bieber's super supportive friend at the ink shop back in May was none other than his father, Jeremy. And his dad decided to get inked with the exact same design, in precisely the same spot--just above the left ribcage. Awww... Talk about a unique way for a father and his teenage son to spend time together and do some quality bonding. Not to mention the fact that they'll wear the memory of that day for the rest of their lives.

Jeremy was inked first. The Biebs' looks a little worried when his turn comes, but his dad's presence seems to reassure him. In the next shot, Jeremy is holding his hand, and both of them are smiling. However, in the third photo, JB's smile has turned into a grimace. Oh well, no pain, no tattoo. In the final shot, both men proudly display their new identical ink, framed by bandages and protected by clear plastic.

Apparently, the photos of Justin Bieber and his father getting their identical Jesus tattoos were taken on May 23, 2011 just before Justin's trip to Maui with Selena Gomez. Why it took so long for them to surface is unknown. But aren't you glad they did?
