Why Did Justin Bieber Get An 'X' Tattoo? 'Chi' Greek Letter Supposedly Symbolizes Christ :: <div class="field field-name-field-images field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p> </p>
<p>"X" marks the spot for Justin Bieber.</p>
<p>The "Baby" singer flashed another tattoo on Monday, and even though he's only 18 years old, this is reportedly his twelfth piece of ink.</p>
<p>The Daily Mail reported that Biebs' new body art is large cross or "X" on his left forearm. The British news site added that though some might find the new tat grave, it's actually the Greek letter "Chi" -- which means Christ. </p>
<p>His "Chi" tattoo joins other religious body art pieces for Bieber, including a pair of praying hands on his left calf and an image of Jesus on his right. </p></div></div></div>
