The pop legend revealed on Monday that she received her first-ever tattoo, and shared a series of photos on social media to show it off.
"Inked for The Very First Time," the singer tweeted, a play on the lyrics to her iconic hit "Like a Virgin."

Madonna, who months ago debuted a new look with bright pink hair, appears to be sitting in front of tattoo artists in Hollywood, Calif., in the photos shared to her account.

She also shares sons Rocco Ritchie, 20, and David Banda, 15, with her ex Guy Ritchie. She also has daughters Mercy, 14, and twin daughters Stelle and Estere Ciccone, both 8. She adopted her four youngest kids.

"Being a single parent of six children, I continue to be creative and be an artist and be politically active, to have a voice, to do all the things that I do. So I mean, there isn’t anybody in my position.”
One thing she said she is watching out for with her younger children is their social media use.

She added that she wants her kids to be successful and innovative on their own, not because they're the children of someone famous.
