The tattoo was done by famed Toronto-based Korean tattooist Jo Seung-hyun at Bierber’s recording studio, according to British newspaper Daily Mail.

Last week Jo shared a photo of him and his high-profile customer through his Instagram account, telling followers, “Thanks @justinbieber for inviting me to your studio! It was a long night of tattooing you but worth it! See you soon brotha you are crazy talented.”

Bieber’s arms are already heavily inked, with designs including a Japanese “kanji” symbol for “music,” the word “Trust” and a Koi fish.

He is known to have a close relationship with K-pop star G-Dragon (GD). In November, GD surprised his fans at home and abroad by revealing that he had “finished” a collaborative work with the Canadian star. He said the track is scheduled to be released this year.
