The 'Sorry' hitmaker got the 25-year-old singer's face inked on his wrist back in 2013 - a year after they started dating - but now that he's engaged to the blonde model he's decided he needs to get the artwork removed before they walk down the aisle.

A source told The Sun Online: "Justin's already got plans to get rid of the tattoo. He's tried to get it partially covered up before, but this time he's determined to get rid of it for good. He's going to his regular tattoo artist, Bang Bang, to get something inked over the top. I think he wants it gone in time for the wedding to Hailey."

This isn't the first time the 24-year-old hunk has toyed with the idea of getting rid of the tribute as he previously said that he was planning to cover it up following his split with Selena in 2015. 

He said at the time: "This is my ex-girlfriend. So, I tried to cut her face up with some shading, but people still know."

However, they later got back together and he ditched his plans to erase the artwork. 

Justin popped the question to Hailey after five weeks of dating during a romantic getaway to the Bahamas last weekend - and the couple have already decided they want an "intimate ceremony" in his native Canada.
