Justin Bieber Tattoo story

Canadian singer Justin Bieber seems quite fond of his tattoos, which at a first sight indicates that they have some sort of story too.

Recently, Justin Bieber gets forthright and spilled the beans behind his tattoos, saying, “The bear, which I got in New Zealand, represents rest,” he detailed the tattoo on his right shoulder.

“As tough and resilient as a bear is, it always hibernates, which is so important. We as humans go, go, and go without resting and it can leave us exhausted and drained,” he added.

About Bieber’s tattoo on the top-left of his chest, he said, “The lion I got done by the tattoo artist Bang Bang, and it represents having the heart of a lion.”

“Being bold, courageous, strong! I also love the bird on my neck that I got from Dr. Woo,” the singer added more.

“It’s a reminder to use the gifts God has given me and give it all I have—to fly above all of the bullshit.”

“The cross in the middle of my chest is a symbol of my faith, and a reminder of what Jesus endured to rectify all that was broken,” he said.

The Baby singer further added, “The rose on my neck from Dr. Woo reminds me that even though I’m flawed, beauty shines even through our rough edges.”

Pakistan Single Window Act 2021: Govt launches reform to ease trade

Prime Minister Imran Khan has on Tuesday (today) highlighted the true ideology of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on the occasion of Pakistan Day on March 23.

Taking to his Twitter, PM Imran said that we are still unable to achieve our goals because we lost sight of Quaid’s vision to get the actual Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

“So far we have been unable to achieve our great potential because we lost sight of our Quaid’s vision. Today Pakistan is back on track to realize that ideal by bringing the powerful under rule of law and setting up a welfare state with our programmes of Ehsaas, Panagahs & health cards,” he wrote.

He further added that Muslims need to follow the right guiding principles of Quaid-e-Azam in order to achieve the Pakistan our founder had dreamt for.

In another tweet, he said, “When Muslims moved away from these guiding principles, their civilization decayed and declined. 81 yrs ago today our Quaid gave us the dream for Pakistan as envisioned by the great philosopher and poet Iqbal and based on these Riyasat-e-Madina principles.”

The Prime Minister further added that if we try to follow each and every principle spread out by our Holy Prophet PBUH, in a very less time, Muslims will and has become the greatest civilization for the next few centuries.

“15 centuries ago our Holy Prophet PBUH set up the first welfare state in Madina: based on rule of law, meritocracy, compassion & tolerance; & where quest for knowledge was made a sacred duty. In a couple of decades Muslims became the greatest civilization for next few centuries,” wrote the premier.

Pakistan Day is being celebrated today on March 23 to commemorate the ‘Lahore Minto Park’ Resolution in the year 1940.
