Braving the ocean: Justin Bieber shows off his Hebrew tattoo as he and Selena Gomez take a dip in Maui

He's just 17 years old, but as a world-famous pop star Justin Bieber has seen more of the world than men twice his age.

Perhaps that explains why the teen has already visited the tattoo parlour, not once but twice.

Joining his girlfriend Selena Gomez on the beach in Hawaii this week, he showed off his inkings.

Tattoos: Bieber has a Hebrew phrase on his torso, and a seagull on his stomach

One, on his stomach, is the outline of the seagull from Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a tattoo he had done to match his father and uncle and mark his 16th birthday.
The other, on his torso, is in Hebrew.

As Bieber is aged under 18 he needed parental permission to get his tattoos.

He displayed them as he and Selena relaxed on the beach in Maui together.

The young couple have both taken their families with them for the holiday, and have been seen at the upmarket Four Seasons hotel.

Stripped to the waist, the Canadian star showed off his rock-hard stomach in a pair of bathing shorts teamed with flip flops and white sunglasses.

His girlfriend, meanwhile, was wearing a pink bikini top and Daisy Dukes, and was carrying a leopard print bag as she walked to the beach with Bieber.

Earlier the young couple were seen arriving in Maui hand in hand after taking a flight from Los Angeles LAX.

Bieber and Gomez, 18, went completely public with their romance at the Billboard Music Awards show in Las Vegas - sharing kisses and hugs in the audience.
