Justin Bieber Still Has Selena Gomez Tattoo Despite Engagement To Hailey Baldwin

Justin Bieber Still Has Selena Gomez Tattoo Despite Engagement To Hailey Baldwin

He'd better arrange a tattoo appointment, and quickly

If you're a young person, it's probably worth not rushing headlong into a relationship until you know it's the real deal. That applies doubly for not getting the face of your girlfriend inked indelibly onto your arm in the form of a tattoo.

Well, that particular piece of life advice never reached the ears of Justin Bieber. Despite announcing his engagement last week, to 21-year-old Hailey Baldwin - the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin - he still has a tattoo of his former on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez on his left arm.

Justin is said to have proposed to Hailey on a holiday in the Bahamas on Saturday night, and it was brought to the public's attention after his father, Jeremy Bieber, posted a photo of his son on Instagram that said: "Proud is an understatement! Excited for the next chapter!"

How lovely. That said, you'd have to imagine that his new fiancé will not be too happy to have the face of his previous beau looking at her from her husband's arm. So, what does Justin plan to do about it?

Apparently, he's already had a go at sorting it out. Back in February 2016, he told GQ: "This [tattoo] is my ex-girlfriend,

"So, I tried to cover her face up with some shading, but people still know."

Despite the efforts that he has put in already, he needs to try a bit harder than that, you'd imagine, if he is going to rid himself of the tattoo completely. Lord knows he can afford it.

Admittedly, Justin and Selena got back together and subsequently broke up again since that interview was given, but now he's betrothed, he'd better step up either his cover-up, or laser removal game.

One person who he could look to for advice is Ariana Grande's new fiancée Pete Davidson.

Now, Pete used to go out with Cazzie David, the daughter of Curb Your Enthusiasm actor and comedian Larry David.

He made the same mistake as Justin and had a tattoo immortalising her on his arm. Ariana then told him that if they were to proceed, she had to go.

He's now had it completely covered up and replaced with some sort of woodland scene. It actually looks better than before.

To further ingratiate himself to his future wife, he's also had a few tattoos that represent her inked onto himself for good measure.

Some people just never learn.
