What Does Justin Biebers New Tattoo Mean?

Justin Bieber has gotten yet another tattoo! Bieber now has tattoos of the Stratford Cullitons hockey team mascot, a bird, a Hebrew symbol, Jesus, praying hands, the Believe tattoo, a Japanese symbol, a crown and an owl.

This time Bieber got a series of Roman numerals inked on to his shoulder blade, showing off the new piece in an Instagram photo. Also his producer Jamal Rashid, otherwise known as Mally Mall, got a matching tattoo on his inner arm. The numerals read I IX VII V — the numerals for 1, 9, 7, and 5. The numbers are said to be dedicated to Bieber’s number one woman — his mom, Pattie Mallette.

“Great Minds Think Alike ! @justinbieber 1 9 7 5 Same Tatts spiritual meanings,” Rashid wrote on his Instagram caption. Like ex-girlfriend Gomez, who had the birthday of her mother inked in Roman numerals on the back of her neck, Justin might have copied the idea as well.

But if they intended to refer to the year 1975, they got it all wrong — according to Google, in Roman numerals, 1975 is actually “MCMLXXV.” Oops.
