Justin Bieber Has The Very Best Reason For His New ‘G’ For Georgia Tattoo
Justin Bieber doesn’t get tattoos that often any more. Well, he does have a lot. However, one thing binds all of the Biebs’ tats: They all have a spiritual meaning. The latest Justin Bieber inking is no different.
The 21-year-old took to Instagram early Thursday to post a pic of his fresh tattoo, which he had inked this morning. His caption explains why.

An old English type, capital “G,” in copper gold, now adorns the inside of Justin’s right arm.
The singer’s caption reads, “This is for the strongest couple i know Chad and Julia Veach! Their daughter was born with Lissencephaly. She is incredible and has the sweetest soul. You guys make me better and I’m blessed to have you in my life #Georgia #gtat.”

The couple that Justin referred to in his Instagram dedication are youth pastors, Chad and Julia Veach. The husband and wife team reportedly relocated to Los Angeles last year to establish “Zoe Church,” with the blessing of their pastor, Judah Smith, of the Seattle-based The City Church.
Smith is also a spiritual adviser to Justin, with Pastor Carl Lentz of Hillsong NYC church. During a 2014 interview with the Christian Post, it was reported that Chad and Julia are parents to two children — Georgia, then, 3, and their then 11-month-old son, Winston.
The couple actually refer to Georgia as “G,” and Justin is just latest in a long line of non-famous and celebrities who have taken the step of getting a “G” tattooed as a reminder to pray for her healing.
Lissencephaly is a rare brain formation disorder caused by abnormal developments when a baby is germinating. Children born with it tend to have severe developmental delays and shortened life expectancy. Symptoms often include seizures, muscle spasticity, unusual facial appearance, difficulty in swallowing, and anomalies of the extremities.
As it happens, a group of female Justin Bieber fans, who regularly track the singer around Los Angeles, caught up with the Canadian at around 3 a.m, motoring around Hollywood Boulevard on his IO Hawk, apparently getting money together for the tattoo.
The fans videoed clips of their hangout with Justin. They claim he told them that the recent shark attack on his pal Joe Termini was just a reef scratch. The heartthrob apparently also asked the girls if he should cut his hair, and said that his recent visit to Australia to attend the Sydney Hillsong church conference was “good… crazy but good.”
The fans say the “Where Are Ü Now” singer also shared his thoughts on life and God, and said everyone is on their own individual journey in life.
“Thanks for supporting me guys,” the Biebs apparently told the crew.

Also, last night, two guys posted separate Instagram posts describing the help Justin and then-girlfriend Selena Gomez gave to a child before she succumbed to cancer.

Both men bumped into each other and shared their stories on Wednesday. Serendipitous night.
