Justin Bieber got some new ink in December and showed it off over the weekend while enjoying a day at Venice Beach with his tattoo-loving father Jeremy Jack Bieber.

It didn’t take photographers long to discover that the 17-year-old was sporting a five inch black ink depiction of Jesus Christ on the back of his calf.

While California prohibits the tattooing of minors, it appears that an ink artist was more than willing to accommodate his request. He and his dad also share identical Hebrew characters below their armpit that spell out ‘Jesus’ in the biblical language. We’re beginning to see a common theme developing.

The singer isn’t a big church-goer. He revealed in a recent V magazine article, “A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost. They go to church just to go to church. I’m not trying to disrespect them … but for me, I focus more on praying and talking to Him. I don’t have to go to church.”
