Fans think Justin Bieber just got a secret tattoo for Selena Gomez
Jelena stans think there's a hidden 'S' on his neck
www.cosmopolitan.comHere’s the latest on Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and tattoos based on recent reporting up to 2026.
Direct answer
- There hasn’t been a widely reported new tattoo connecting Justin Bieber to Selena Gomez in the last year. Most coverage centers on past tattoos (notably Bieber’s neck/arm pieces) and fan theories about hidden “S” motifs, rather than any official new tribute to Gomez.[2][4][6]
Background and context
- Bieber has had a Selena Gomez tattoo since 2013, and he has publicly discussed covering it up or shading around it in past years. The most cited accounts about cover-up attempts date to 2016, when he described trying to obscure Gomez’s likeness on a tattoo, though observers continued to recognize the design.[1][5][9]
- Fan-driven interpretations of newer tattoos suggesting “S” or Gomez tributes have appeared sporadically, driven by close-ups in interviews or social posts; however, these interpretations are speculative and not officially confirmed by Bieber or Gomez.[4][6][2]
What to watch for
- If you’re tracking “latest” updates, monitor:
- Bieber’s social posts and official interviews for any new tattoo reveals or statements about existing pieces.
- Gomez’s own comments or interviews for any confirmation or denial of new tributes.
- Reputable entertainment outlets that frequently cover tattoo-related celebrity news (e.g., Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, Cosmopolitan) for any fresh reporting.
