Lady Gaga gets David Bowie face tattoo of iconic Aladdin Sane album cover ahead of Grammys tribute

Lady Gaga has had David Bowie 's face tattooed on her side ahead of her Grammy Awards tribute to the legendary musician.
The Applause singer showed off her new ink just days before she remembers the late star at this year's ceremony, one month after his death from cancer aged 69.

Gaga showed off her latest design on Snapchat as tattooist Mark Mahoney added to her collection at Shamrock Social Club with the tattoo on her rib cage, just below an anchor on her left side.

"We immediately spoke and agreed that she should be the one to honour David. She's perfect for it."
The special showcase in memory of the Thin White Duke will be directed by Nile Rodgers, who previously worked with Bowie on 1983 album Let's Dance.
