The design in question? A handgun drawn on her middle finger. “I think at 18, I was like, “Yeah! That looks cool.’ But now, as a 24-year-old, I would never do that. I think guns are violet,” Bieber tells Elle in a new interview. 

The model initially shared a picture of the ink in December 2015 via an Instagram post, which she captioned: “Tbh I don’t know why I have this tattoo … just another story to tell lol. It is what it is.”

Even though the star, who just launched her own Youtube channel, regrets that single tattoo, she has about “20-something” small and dainty designs on her body. And, like most tattoos, each comes with its own story. 

In fact, Bieber tells the outlet that there was little hiccup with the ‘J’ she got on her ring finger. The cursive letter adorned with the North Star, which she got to pay tribute to her husband Justin Bieber, has actually been inked not once — but twice.  

She tells Elle that after getting the tattoo in a New York City parlor, it faded. “And then everybody though I was lying that I got the tattoo.” 

Thankfully, a quick trip to artist Dr. Woo, who is based in Los Angeles, had the emblematic etching fixed up in no time. 

Bieber doesn’t only give a nod to her hubby with her ink. She also has a handful of tattoos that match her friends and family. 

In July 2015, she had her last name written on the inside of her middle finger with her cousin, Ireland Baldwin. She also has a red design of a broken heart to match fellow model Kendall Jenner’s and the word “gente” which translates to “people” on her hip with friend Mari Fonseca. 

Her dainty designs also extend up to her neck, where she has “beleza” which means “beauty” in Portuguese written in script, and down her back, where she has “unseen” inked on the curve of her spine. 

Aside from digging into Bieber’s past tattoos, the Elle interview also came with a handful of high-fashion photos. To get a glimpse at the gorgeous glam and getups (including a Versace bikini!), keep scrolling.

During the Sunday, December 6, episode, Brandon and his parents were gearing up for Julia’s arrival from Russia. While the couple will primarily stay with his parents during her Virginia visit, the duo will get some alone time on a short trip to Washington, D.C.

Since Brandon, 27, and Julie, 26, will have their own hotel room during their weekend getaway, his mother, Betty, asked whether his fiancée uses contraception. “Do you know if she’s on birth control, by chance?” Betty inquired while Brandon replied, “Yea, no, she’s not.”

When Betty questioned whether Julia didn’t “want to be” on birth control, Brandon explained that his soon-to-be-wife has no interest. That being said, his mother said she would be willing to help Julia in that process.

“If she’s not, I’ll be happy to take her over to the doctor when she gets here, if she’s willing to take a chance,” she said. “You know, I guess, I mean, you can do other things to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Brandon said he didn’t want to “take on that kind of responsibility,” to which both of his parents questioned what he meant by that. “I guess we are not being safe,” he said, causing his mother and father to respond in shock.

“I’ve brought [up] the idea of birth control multiple times to Julia,” Brandon explained in a confessional. “And every time, she shut it down quick. … She’s funny about putting medications in her body at all. So, I’m just like, ‘Birth control is not an option.’”

Brandon added that “there’s nothing wrong with condoms, but they’re definitely not as fun.”

Betty then provided sound advice to her son, saying: “Don’t be taking chances you shouldn’t take.” Brandon, however, begged to differ and argued that the couple have it under control.

In a separate confessional, Betty said that she believes the pair’s avoidance of safe sex is “an accident waiting to happen.” She also expressed that she wants for her son to “do things responsibly” moving forward.

Brandon fell in love with Julia instantly after meeting her through his best friend. In the weeks that followed their introduction, he flew out to visit her in her native Russia and asked her to be his girlfriend. He then proposed to the go-go dancer in Iceland after five months together.

Since the Virginia native had already invested a great deal of money into Julia and their relationship, they are staying with Brandon’s parents on his family’s farm.

90 Day Fiancé airs on TLC Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
