Just days ago, Pattie Mallette spoke out about son Justin Bieber's recent string of bad behavior. Now the pop star has been spotted sporting a brand new tattoo in honor of his protective momma.
 
The tat, which Bieber showed off on Instagram is a depiction of a female eye. "@bangbangnyc did this art.. Moms always watching :)," he said in the photo caption, mentioning NYC-based tattoo artist Keith Bang Bang McCurdy.

"Justin called me around 10:30 pm last night and asked if I could open up the shop," McCurdy told E! News of the Biebs' Tuesday trip to the tattoo shop. "We are both so busy, and our schedules are pretty hectic, so I opened up the shop, and he came in around 4:00 a.m."

According to McCurdy, Bieber knew exactly what he wanted, asking for an eye that would represent his mother's.

"I went in and pulled up a couple of options of high resolution photography, and Justin chose a female eye that best represented what he was looking for," McCurdy said.

Bieber's latest tattoo is just one of many, and McCurdy admitted that the teen star is definitely addicted to ink.

"I'm not sure what his next tattoo will be, but we both joked about how we are addicted to tattoos," he said. "He joked, saying he's only 19, and he already has this many tattoos." 

"The tattoo took about 30 minutes, and we left when the sun came up, which was pretty cool," McCurdy, who has also worked with high-profile celebs like Rihanna, Katy Perry and Adele, said of the process."I did [it] in black and white, because it complimented his other tattoos. I wanted it to compliment him, and not be a distraction from him."

McCurdy later took to Instagram to post and pic with Bieber and his new ink. "'Eye' got that @justinbieber please believe ya!" he said in the caption.
