The Real Reason Why Justin Bieber Didn’t Erase His Selena Gomez Tattoo Even After Falling Deeply For Hailey Bieber

Everyone wants to know why Justin Bieber still has his Selena Gomez tattoo and there might be a juicy reason behind his decision…

It’s been several years since Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber broke up. However, fans will never stop talking about the former couple’s public, dramatic romance. And in 2013, Justin Bieber got a tattoo of Selena Gomez. If the couple had stayed together, this would have seemed super sweet and romantic. But now that they have been split up for a long time and Justin married Hailey Baldwin, the tattoo feels a little awkward.

It’s true that Justin Bieber’s arms and chest are absolutely covered in tattoos. It’s all part of his look. But, of course, Justin Bieber’s Selena tattoo is his most attention-grabbing. Why didn’t Justin Bieber have this tattoo removed?

What Is Justin Bieber’s Selena Gomez Tattoo?

Justin Bieber wrote songs about Hailey and Selena and they are both an important part of his dating history. It makes sense that Bieber would have gotten a Selena Gomez tattoo when they were dating since he wanted to express his love for her.

But as people often say, getting a tattoo can be a big mistake since it’s so permanent. And now that Bieber and Gomez aren’t together, the tattoo serves as what must be a painful reminder of their breakup.

Justin Bieber has a tattoo on his left arm of Selena Gomez’s face with wings around it. Us Weekly reported that he got the tattoo in 2013. Bieber based on the tattoo on an Elle photo shoot that Gomez did in 2012.

The couple had been together for a few years at that point. According to People, they had their first date in 2010, ended things in 2012, reunited in 2013, and then went their separate ways once again in 2014.

At the end of 2014, people began noticing that Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber were spending time together. And while they tried again in 2018, Gomez and Bieber realized that it was time to let go. Then, of course, Bieber began dating Hailey Baldwin seriously. The pair got married in 2018.

It’s been a decade since Justin Bieber got his Selena Gomez tattoo. And he hasn’t shown any indication that he is going to have it removed. Is there a reason for that?

Why Did Justin Bieber Keep His Selena Gomez Tattoo?

Everyone wants to know why Justin Bieber’s Selena tattoo is still on his left wrist. Does he want to get rid of it? Does he feel awkward when he looks down at his arm? And how does Hailey Bieber feel about it?

Over the past few years, Bieber hasn’t said much about his tattoo. In his cover interview for GQ in 2016, the popular singer said, “This is my ex-girlfriend. I kinda tried to cover her face up with some shading, but people still know.”

Since then, however, he has stayed quiet. But people can’t help but be curious about why he hasn’t had it professionally removed.

While it can be pricey to have a tattoo removed, Justin Bieber does have a lot of money. Glamour reported that each appointment to get rid of a tattoo can set someone back $463, according to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the singer’s net worth is $300 million.

If took a few appointments for Justin Bieber’s Selena Gomez tattoo to be completely gone from his arm, he would have to pay a few thousand dollars. But he can definitely afford that.

There could be a few reasons why Bieber still has his Gomez tattoo. He has a busy schedule and maybe he just hasn’t wanted to schedule the time. He released several albums in the past few years, including “Changes” in 2020 and “Justice” in 2021. And besides touring, Bieber also explained in 2022 that he suffers from Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. He took a hiatus from his music career, and it sounds like it was a terrifying moment in his life. This would have definitely seemed more important than removing his tattoo.

According to E! News, in March 2022, Hailey Bieber went through her own scary health struggle. A blood clot was found in her brain and she had surgery. Since the couple was very sick for a long time, their minds were definitely on healing and getting better, not on the tattoo.

It’s also possible that the tattoo still has some meaning for Bieber. He might feel that it represents a certain time in his life. And he might have made peace with still having it. Of course, until he shares his feelings about it himself, fans will be left wondering.

Fans are endlessly curious about Bieber’s decision to keep the tattoo. Some wonder if this means that he still has romantic feelings for Gomez. And everyone wants to know if Hailey is upset about it.

However, Justin and Hailey Bieber seem to be very in love. In 2019, he was interviewed by Vogue and explained what he loves about their relationship. He said, “Hailey’s very logical and structured, which I need. I’ve always wanted security—with my dad being gone sometimes when I was a kid, with being on the road. With the lifestyle I live, everything is so uncertain. I need one thing that’s certain. And that…is my baby boo.”
