Justin Bieber and his father pose topless, showing off their matching tattoos.

A newly-released photo shows the father and son in Israel earlier this year where they had the etching done together.

The pair had the word 'Yeshua,' - which many believe to be Jesus' Hebrew or Aramaic name - etched onto the left side of their torsos.

The name Yeshua frequently appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe Joshua the High Priest.

Yes, there's a picture, if you can bear it. "Many" do not "believe" that Yeshua is the Hebrew/Aramaic form of Jesus' name. It just is.

Joshua the High Priest is mentioned several times in the books of Haggai and Zechariah, but the name Joshua is best known from Moses' right-hand man and successor for whom the book of Joshua is named.
