Justin Bieber's mom has some thoughts about the "Peaches" singer's latest addition to his tattoo collection.

On Saturday, Bieber shared an Instagram photo of himself getting a peach tattoo on his neck. His latest tattoo is seemingly an ode to his hit single "Peaches" off his latest album, "Justice."

Bieber captioned the photo with a peach and pencil emoji, tagging his tattoo artist Doctor Woo.

While most Instagram commenters praised the 27-year-old for the new ink – his mom, Pattie Mallette, wasn't as congratulatory. "Don't you have enough yet?" she wrote in a comment, adding a weary emoji.

During an interview on Sirius XM Hits 1, the "Lonely" singer teased that he would get the body art, "like a small peach on my body somewhere."

"I promised myself I didn't want to get tattoos on my hands," Bieber added. "Something about just being able to wear a suit and not having tattoos on my hands, I don't know."
