space for his latest addition. Yesterday Trace went to a tattoo parlor with dad Billy Ray Cyrus. He tweeted, "With my dad! He is getting his back tattooed! Gangster!" Followed by, "Yes I think I'm about to do this!" and "Getting my head tattooed right now" A few hours later the former guitarist and singer of Metro Station showed off the result. He tweeted, "Got my head tatted today! Excuse all the ink on my face. And yes this hurt!!!" Now an image of a Native American Chief is immortalised onto his scalp. It is significantly larger than the facial tattoos he previously had etched on. The photo shows off other inkings such as a diamond ring, a dove, two feathers and the initials TN with an anchor. And even though he wrote, "Late night coffe. I got a headache!!!" he also tweeted about plans to get the other side of his head inked as well, "Thank you Chris Garcia for coming up from Vegas to tattoo my family and I. I can't wait till next week to tattoo the other side of my head!

Trace is Miley Cyrus' half brother, dad Billy Ray Cyrus adopted him when he was little. However, a love of tattoos seems to run in the family, with dad Billy Ray having several, including a full sleeve, mom Tish, who sports (among other tats) a set of big angel wings on her back. Sister Miley reportedly has thirteen tattoos, six small ones on the fingers of her right hand (an equal sign; a peace symbol; a cross; a heart; the word 'karma'; and an eye), 'Just Breathe' on her chest, 'Love' in her ear, a big dreamcatcher on her side, an anchor on her right wrist, an 'ohm' symbol on her left wrist, a skull on her ankle, and 'Love never dies' on her arm.
