Lady Gaga Gets A David Bowie Tattoo; Slammed By Dead Singer's Son After Grammy’s Performance
Following the death of music legend David Bowie, Lady Gaga has been doing a string of tributes for him (including a Grammy's performance), only to be slammed by "Ziggy Stardust's" son.
Prior to the Grammy's, Lady Gaga showed the world just how much she loved David Bowie, who died in January after a brief battle with Cancer, by getting his face tattooed on her body.
"This was the image that changed my life," Lady Gaga captioned a Snapchat video of the inking session.

According to USA Today, Lady Gaga wanted to pay a personal tribute to David Bowie prior to her Grammy Awards performance, so she visited a tattoo artist in West Hollywood on Sunday.
On Monday, Lady Gaga took the 58th annual Grammy Awards stage to remember David Bowie in a performance of some of his pioneer hits, including "Changes," "Ziggy Stardust," "Space Oddity," "Fashion," "Fame," "Let's Dance," "Under Pressure," "Suffragette City," "Rebel Rebel and "Heroes."
Fans of Lady Gaga were ecstatic over her Grammy's performance, in which the singer partnered with tech giant, Intel to bring David Bowie's music contributions into life.
"We wanted to create an expression of not only David Bowie's magic, but also to show that there is magic that can be made with technology," Lady Gaga said in a video shared by Intel, as reported in ABC News. "The idea with this performance is to create something that feels as other worldly as the most beautiful mountaintop in the world."
Despite the extravagance and explosion of colors during her performance, one person did not seem too pleased with it all - David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones.
On Monday, the British director wrote the following words, which may have been an Oxford English dictionary definition of the word, "Gaga," according to USA Today.
"'Overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused.' Damn it! What IS that word!?" Duncan Jones said on Twitter.

Fans met the director's cryptic message with mixed feelings.
"It's cruel and mean spirited to attack lady gaga who gave her all to honor and entertain.#BeKind," a Twitter user wrote.
"It was horrible - sorry. GG is talented but that "tribute" missed the spirit of Bowie entirely," said another fan.
David Bowie died on Jan. 10 after battling with cancer for 18 months.
