It looks like Justin Bieber is trying to shed that girly image and get a little more punk. Pictures surfaced a while back of Bieber getting a tattoo in that manliest of places, the left hip. Okay, so none of this gets the guy stamp of approval, but at least Bieber wasn’t a bitch about it.
Brian Byrne, co-owner of Son of a Gun Tattoo in Toronto, said Bieber kept his cool under the needle. “It was a 16th birthday tattoo,” Byrne said. “I guess his dad has it, and one of his uncles. It’s the outline of the seagull from Jonathan Livingston Seagull.” Wow, that’s really…neat.
Byrne doesn’t often do tattoos on minors. In fact, he has pretty strict policies about it. “Our rule at the shop is: no necks, no hands, unless you’re over 25; and you don’t get tattooed at all unless you’re 18 years old.” If you have a parent present, he’s willing to bend the rules. It also helps if that parent is a childhood friend, as was the case with Justin.
