Justin Bieber has got a tattoo.

The 16-year-old singer reportedly had a small bird inked onto his hip shortly after his 16th birthday in March, at the Son of a Gun tattoo parlour in Toronto, Canada.

According to gossip website bestweekever.tv, having the design marked a family tradition, and Justin was accompanied to the tattoo parlour by his father Jeremy, who "showed his approval by giving a thumbs-up when they posed for a photo with staff."

The site also published pictures of the 'Baby' hitmaker on the tattoist's table, though a clear image of the completed design could not be seen. However, photographs of him topless on a beach in Sydney, Australia, show the artwork visible on his pelvis.

Fans have already taken to twitter to express their views on the teenager's inking.
