"This is my ex-girlfriend," he said, pointing to the body art. "So, I tried to cut her face up with some shading, but people still know."

Bieber has quite a few personal tattoos. There are at least two dedicated to his mother, Pattie Mallette -- one being an image of his mom's eye and the other is her birthday in roman numerals. The GRAMMY winner and his father, Jeremy Bieber, also got matching tattoos on their sides.

As for his favorite ink, Bieber said it had to be the wings on the back of his neck, but admitted that it was "mad uncomfortable" to sit with his head down that long.

There is one place the star won't put a tattoo. "I can't say I really feel lower back tattoos on a male or a female," Bieber said. "I think David Beckham has a lower tramp stamp, and that's no good."
