Trace Cyrus shows off Indian head tattoo

Rocker Trace Cyrus has stunned fans by unveiling a new sprawling tattoo on the side of his head.

Miley Cyrus' half-brother took to Twitter.com on Wednesday (09May12) to reveal his intentions for another piece of body art and told his fans that his father Billy Ray Cyrus was also going to have an inking.

He tweeted, "With my dad! He is getting his back tattooed! Gangster! Getting my head tattooed right now..."

And he returned to the site four hours later to show them a picture of the design he had inked - an American Indian complete with headdress.

He added, "Got my head tatted today! Excuse all the ink on my face. And yes this hurt!!! Thank you Chris Garcia for coming up from Vegas to tattoo my family and I. I cant (sic) wait till next week to tattoo the other side of my head!"

Trace Cyrus recently confessed his love of body art almost cost his former band Metro Station opening for his famous sibling on tour in 2009, because her managers didn't like the way he looked.
