Lady Gaga gets David Bowie's face tattooed on her side... two days before performing tribute to the Starman at Grammy Awards
Lady Gaga will be performing an eight-minute tribute to the late David Bowie at the Grammy Awards on Monday.
But the 29-year-old has also found a more permanent way to commemorate her love of the iconic singer, who died last month at the age of 69 after a battle with cancer.
Gaga shared a series of Snapchat videos on Saturday which showed her getting a tattoo of Bowie on her left side. This is believed to be her 18th inking so far.

Ch-ch-changes: Lady Gaga got a David Bowie tattoo on Saturday, and shared videos to Snapchat while getting the inking
The body art was done by Mark Mahoney at Shamrock Social Club in West Hollywood, and is a copy of the Aladdin Sane album cover.
In the videos, the tattoo artist was seen expertly creating a stencil copy of the artwork, which shows Ziggy Stardust looking down while wearing his iconic lightning bolt make-up.
Gaga waited patiently in the parlour, dressed in a printed suit and gold brogues, before taking off her top and settling down to get inked.
And the pop star, who has many tattoos, didn't appear to be wincing in the slightest as the artist got to work with the needle.

A permanent tribute: The tattoo comes two days before the star will be performing an eight-minute tribute to Bowie at the Grammy Awards on Monday
Gaga's videos showed the outline of the design in purple ink along with some shading, but it's unclear if she will be having the entire piece of body art filled in.
She captioned one of the videos: 'This was the image that changed my life.'
The Applause hit-maker has always been a huge fan of Bowie's, and the Grammy Awards' executive producer Ken Ehrlich revealed last week that they instantaneously decided she was the perfect fit for his tribute, which is being directed by Nile Rogers.
