Selena Gomez New Tattoo Diss Justin Bieber? 'Love Yourself First'

By Staff Reporter| Jul 18, 2014

Selena Gomez has inked herself and its subtle yet strong meaning leaves many wondering whether it's a direct diss to former love Justin Bieber.

Selena Gomez posted a new photo of herself on Instagram showing the singer's new tattoo located on her upper right back. Wearing a black tank and looking down towards her shoulder, the actress-singer looks exceptionally calm and happy in the photo.

The "Come & Get It" singer didn't say anything about the tattoo itself, just gave credit to her artist saying, "Art by @bangbangnyc --from my first to my last. It's always this fool."

So, what does the new skin accessory mean? E! News spoke exclusively to Bang Bang McCurdy who dished on the tatts significance.

"Its meaning translates to 'Love Yourself,'" said Bang Bang. Apparently, Selena's new tatt is an Arabic translation of the phrase "Love Yourself First."

McCurdy also dished that the singer had the tattoo done "about a month ago" and explained that "she [Selena] had been wanting this one for a while."

"Selena already had it written out how she wanted," continues Bang Bang. "The tattoo is about 4 inches, and didn't take too long, probably about 30-45 minutes. The longest part is laying it out. We played with it a bit laying it out, until we found the perfect spot."

"She loved it; she flipped out!" Bang Bang said of Gomez' reaction when they were through.

The stars ink man also said that she's building quite the body art collection. Selena apparently "has about 5-6 tattoos now," three of which are courtesy of McCurdy and she's not planning on stopping there, reports E! News.

"When we did that one, she was talking about another one," said the artist. "But we haven't talked plans just yet. There are always plans to do another one."

It's not a far off possibility that the former Disney star is targeting Bieber for this one because many reports have indicated that Gomez, 21, has put Bieber, 20, as the primary focus of her life and that hasn't worked out well for the star.

Also, if the tatt was done about a month ago, that's around the time rumors of a reunion began, which ultimately fizzled rather quickly.

This isn't the only body enhancement Selena is rumored to have done for Bieber. Last week Selena was the talk of the internet when photos surfaced of her walking around New York City showed what seemed to be fuller breasts.

As noted in an earlier report, many believe that Selena had gone under the knife to give herself a more ample bosom hoping to keep Bieber's affections. Her controversial photo donning a sheer black top with no bra only fueled the rumors more.

What are your thoughts on Gomez' new tattoo? Do you think it is for Justin Bieber?
