The lead guitarist of the Chili Peppers has found a way to permanently honor his musical heroes memory.

Michael Balzary better known as Flea to Peppers fans got tatted up this week (and yes I said tatted up) to honor musical legend David Bowie. Flea posted footage of himself with the fresh ink on Twitter along some Bowie lyrics from “Changes”, the caption read:  “And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds.".

The rocker also shared a photo of himself with Bowie along with band mate Anthony Kiedis. It seems the Pepper is taking Bowies passing a bit hard.

We feel your pain Flea, we feel your pain. RIP Mr. Bowie, RIP!
