Justin Bieber has never been shy about baring it all, literally or figuratively.

The multi-platinum pop star and regular tabloid headliner has shared his soul in intimate songs and shown off his impressive physique in a countless selfies (and been caught in a few less-than-favorable moments thanks to paparazzi cameras).

But Instagram is truly the place where he reigns supreme, sharing intimate snapshots of his life and risque pictures that leave little to the imagination. And it seems that Justin Bieber is starting off 2016 with more of the same, with a shirtless selfie that has garnered over 1.9 million likes in less than a day. Here are some of his most shocking Instagram selfies--when it comes to social media, Justin Bieber rules.

Justin Bieber has come a long way from the skinny, scrawny little boy that first crooned on the airwaves to the tattooed and muscled model-dater he is today. And in case anyone out there second-guesses his toned body or inked arms, he's ready to remind them; his newest selfie shows off a serious devotion to the gym and an extreme dislike for t-shirts (and with a body like that, who can really blame him?). The photo shows another surprising change in Bieber's look: his normally blonde looks have been dyed a soft violet. Whether this is for a video or simply another style for the singer remains to be seen.

The Kiss Seen 'Round The World
 


Few people could break Instagram simply by locking lips; but then again, precious few people are Justin Bieber. The singer made a silent but profound statement on his romantic relationships by sharing this picture of himself and model Hailey Baldwin in a passionate embrace. It's a romantic but fairly tame picture; but the chaos it caused in the media (and in particular among Beliebers, many of whom are still holding out for a Selena Gomez/Justin Bieber reconciliation) was simply astounding.

What could be more scandalous than a new photo of Justin Bieber? How about throwing in some guns (don't worry, they're fakes) and two sultry models? Still need more? Let's make one a Kardashian. Photos of Bieber and Kendall Jenner palling around inevitably led to an outburst of stories claiming the two were getting hot and heavy, although the two have always maintained they were just friends (as opposed to his brief but intense romance with other Kardashian sister Kourtney). So it's pretty amusing when you realize the other model in the photo (aforementioned Hailey Baldwin) is the one currently getting cozy with Bieber. Still, photos like this are always a good source of gossip--whether it ultimately turns out to be true or not.

Boxers Or Briefs?

This could very easily be an ad for Calvin Klein (and I hope they sent him a lovely gift basket for this promotional material); instead, it's simply a random selfie that Justin Bieber took of his own impressive washboard abs. There's no caption, no explanation, nothing but a multi-platinum boy and bis boxers. It's nice to know that even super rich and famous singers with millions in the bank and an entourage of professional photographers at their disposal can fall victim to the desire for a badly-staged bathroom selfie from time to time. Still, posting a picture of yourself clad in nothing but a tank top and some boxers is a bit more shocking when you're a regular on the Billboard Top 100 Countdown. And maybe that's what truly shocking about this photo: how normal it is (or would be, if the person in question wasn't Justin Bieber). 

Butt Wait...

This may be one of the most scandalous photos that Justin Bieber has ever posted (it also proves his butt broke the Internet way before Kim Kardashian's). Unfortunately, this photo of Bieber in all his boatly nudity is no longer available on Instagram; realizing that a lot of his fans skew to the younger side, the singer took down the image and apologized to his millions of followers. It was a nice gesture, but we all know that deleting a photo from the Internet doesn't make it disappear, and this scandalous image of Bieber's bare necessities will be floating around for a very long time.
