As his first-ever tattoo, Bieber got a small seagull outline on his left hip. "It's based on this book that my whole family read," he explained to GQ in February 2016. "I wanted to make sure it wasn't visible. It's basically about this seagull who wanted to be more than just a seagull."

In late 2017, Bieber enlisted his buddy and tattooist Bang Bang to finish inking the rest of his torso. During the three-day-long session, the singer added two angels on each side of his abdomen and two demons beneath them.
Speaking with E! News in an October 2017 interview, Bang Bang opened up about the inspiration behind choosing these contrasting religious visuals. "It's symbolic of Gothic art and the struggle between the light and dark, the good and the evil, Yin and Yang. I wanted to make sure we had contrast in subject matter and imagery. The thing that made the most sense to me was a tattoo describing his spirituality," he said of the design.
