Madonna bonds with son David as she gets matching 'tree of life' tattoo with him

Madonna has enjoyed an ultimate bonding experience with her son as they head to a tattoo parlour together to get matching ink.

The Material Girl, 63, was joined by son David Banda, 16, as she added to her tattoo collection.

She showed off their matching tattoos – a Kabbalah-inspired 'tree of life' diagram.

Madonna got her design last month but David, who she adopted in 2006, opted to get his matching tat this week.

The teen was adopted by his pop star mum when he was just 13 months old.

She joined him at the ink parlour and added to her already heavily tattooed skin. The artist etched an ‘X’ and ‘maman’, French for mother, on her right inner wrist.

The mum and son duo showed off their matching tats on their left inner wrists in a photo posted on Madonna’s Instagram.

The star posted the snaps after she sparked more worry within her fan base with her latest odd TikTok video was described as "unsettling".

The music mega star shared a short 13-second upload ahead of the Grammys - before taking it down hours later.

It featured the Queen of Pop in a very see-thought black top with her hair separated into four braids.

A filtered Madonna sat with an eerie blank look on her face before slowly leaned in even closer to the camera until it was close up on her full lips.

She gradually sat back into her chair, leaving her fans confused and a bit concerned.

It comes after Madonna's kids were said to be 'concerned' for their mum after she shared a series of 'disturbing pics'.

A source told Heat magazine : "Lourdes, Rocco and the other kids tiptoe around this subject with their mum, but it's reached the stage they're getting concerned about her.

"She isn't ready to give up music - but the whole industry is so youth focused."

The source added that the idea of losing her Madonna 'identity' was unthinkable for the star and so the only hope for change, was "through her kids".
