If Hailey Bieber says the proper way to show your love for the Empire State is to get “New York” tattooed onto your body, then, by all means, I’m doing it. Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Dr. Woo revealed the model’s and (soon-to-be beauty brand owner’s) new ink in an Instagram post on December 19.
Bieber’s tattoo tribute to New York was not as elaborate as you may think it would be. The name of the city was written in a small, lower-case, cursive font on the side of her neck, right below a tattoo of what appears to be a diamond. According to Woo’s caption, the model got this tattoo “awhile back,” so we’re not exactly sure how recent it is.
What’s also quite interesting — and ironic — is the fact that this new tattoo is in the exact spot that she asked her husband, Justin Bieber, not to get tattoos in anymore, according to his YouTube special.
Woo’s comments section was showered with admiration for Bieber’s new ink, primarily in the form of heart-eye faces and heart emojis. The model has yet to share any of the details behind the tattoo with her almost 40 million Instagram followers or in a video via her YouTube channel, but it comes as no surprise that the model is now being barraged with questions from fans about it. So, considering that she sometimes answers questions from fans in her YouTube videos, we wouldn’t be surprised if one of her videos in the coming months will be dedicated to telling the story behind this new tattoo.
Bieber’s New York ink isn’t her first foray into the world of tattoos. She proudly displays her tattoos every chance she gets. In fact, the model showed off her back tattoo (also written in a cursive font like her New York tattoo) and the tattoos that decorate her hand in a 2020 photoshoot for Vogue India. And because she’s a certified fan body art, we’re already wondering what her next tattoo will be.
