LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Bieber took his fans' breath away not just with his Grammy Awards performance, but his new ink also played a key role.

Bieber went all out for his performance at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where he sang ‘Yukon’ on Sunday, February 1. The ‘Baby’ hitmaker only donned boxers and a pair of socks while carrying a purple guitar as his bare back was on full display.

Fans were quick to notice that the tattoo was his model wife's face. One person on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Why is nobody talking about justin’s new tattoo of hailey literally on his back??? the ‘he hates his wife’ comments will hate to see this coming.”



Another person on X wrote, “Yall remember when hailey told justin she doesn't want him to get any tattoo on his back and he said he was saving it for something important???? OH WELL HE GOT HAILEY F****** BIEBER'S FACE TATTOOED !!!!!”



“So you’re telling me justin bieber just got up on stage in just his shorts, with a purple guitar, served vocals, served face and debuted the new tattoo of his wife’s face on his back???? King,” a comment on X read.



Another comment was, “Justin Bieber performing on stage shirtless to debut his Hailey back tattoo at the Grammys is pop history.”



“Justin Bieber has Hailey's pic tattoo on his back,” someone posted on X.



A comment stated, “there is no way justin bieber got a tattoo of hailey bieber’s elle magazine…similarly to the one he got of selena gomez’s elle cover.”



Trevor Noah praises Justin Bieber for doing 'amazing things'

Bieber attended the Grammys after four years. This year, he received nominations for four awards — Album of the Year ('SWAG'), Best Pop Vocal Album ('SWAG'), Best Pop Solo Performance (‘Daises’), and Best R&B Performance (‘Yukon’).

Meanwhile, Trevor Noah, host of this year’s award function, called the ‘That Should Be Me’ singer a "hero."



Noah began, “Justin Bieber is back in the house—look at this! This man has done so many amazing things. His album 'SWAG' nominated, four Grammy nominations. And I think, better than any Grammy, he's come back as a new dad. Congratulations to both of you!”

He then jokingly added that “my personal favorite thing Justin Bieber has done over the past year is he told Apple to move the dictation button on the keyboard. Hero, Justin. Now I just need you to tell them to make a new feature where, when you search on your phone, it finds things. Please, Justin, we need you,” which made his wife, Hailey Bieber, laugh.
