Leave it to Justin Bieber to have a tattoo artist ink him in a plane flying at 40,000 feet.

Justin, 20, reportedly decided to get two new tattoos while flying with friend and celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang from Panama to Canada on Jan. 28.

The pair hoped to break a new world record for “highest altitude tattoo” with the risky stunt, New York Daily News reports.

"It was really difficult. The plane was shaking, so it’s like trying to do a tattoo while you’re driving over rocks... and so I have to compensate and be so, so accurate,” Bang Bang said.

“I’ve gotta admit that my adrenaline was through the roof. I didn’t anticipate it would be so difficult. This was the most difficult tattoo I’ve ever done for sure. It was extremely bumpy and the pilot would call back to us and say ‘Hey we’ve got a little bit of turbulence coming up.’ We were trying to find the pockets when the plane was smooth. This was the most difficult tattoo I’ve ever done for sure," he continued.

Justin had a cross inked on his chest and the word "Forgive" on the right side of his stomach just days after his arrest in Miami for DUI and drag racing. 

Bang Bang admitted he will be contacting Guiness to see if they can have the stunt put in the record books.

"I'm trying to see if we broke a record because we filmed it and documented it, it would be a cool record to have broken, the highest altitude tattoo. I’ve heard that somebody did a tattoo on an airplane once, but normal airlines fly 33-35,000 feet and we were at 40,000 feet so I think we might have done the highest altitude tattoo ever. It was fun and we felt like we did something nobody had ever done," Bang Bang said.

What do you think? Would you ever get a tattoo while flying on an airplane?
