Madonna has her children by her side as she gets the Hebrew word for 'kissed' inked onto her wrist: 'Completing the trilogy of tattoos'
Seven-time Grammy winner Madonna had four of her children by her side while completing the 'trilogy of tattoos' on Sunday afternoon.
While going under the needle to get the Hebrew word for 'kissed' inked to her wrist, the 63-year-old Queen of Pop had her son David, 16, daughter Mercy James, 15, and nine-year-old twins Stella and Estere with her.
The mom-of-six shared a video of the tattooing process to her Instagram Story, which included telling her little ones about its meaning.

Fresh ink: Madonna received comfort from her youngest four children while completing the 'trilogy of tattoos' on Sunday afternoon
'Completing the trilogy of tattoos……. I choose to do this year,' she wrote on Instagram. 'Life is a journey to remove the Space between ourselves and humanity.'
The Holiday singer, who has studied a Jewish mystical doctrine, known as Kabbalah, for years, went on to wish her followers a Happy Chanukah.
In the footage, she rocked a semi-sheer black blouse, multiple bracelets and a colorful manicure.

The video showed the star's youngest children sweetly kissing her as the tattoo was completed.
After her latest piece of ink was finalized, she flashed a close-up look of the design that was still red and slightly puffy.
Her tattoo artist, who goes by the username ele.nyc on Instagram, later had the star get behind the tattoo gun to ink him with an 'x' on his hand. 'Just remember you asked for it,' she told him as she got to work before exclaiming 'Oh it's terrible! I'm the worst.'
Her 17.1 million followers had nothing but nice things to say about the design in the comment section.

'Your tattoos are as beautiful as you ❤️,' one commented.
On Wednesday, Madonna reposted edited versions of the explicit, nipple-baring portraits shared to her Instagram account this week after they were taken down for violating community guidelines.
In a lengthy caption, the singer branded the social media platform's strict nudity policies as 'sexist' and compared the unwavering social stigma around the female nipple to that of the 'lies' told about the Pilgrims' 'peaceful' treatment of Native Americans at Thanksgiving.

'I'm reposting photographs Instagram took down without warning or notification….. The reason they gave my management that does not handle my account was that a small portion of my nipple was exposed,' she began.
'It is still astounding to me that we live in a culture that allows every inch of a woman's body to be shown except a nipple. As if that is the only part of a woman's anatomy that could be sexualized. The nipple that nourishes the baby!
'Can't a mans nipple be experienced as erotic??!! And what about a woman's a** which is never censored anywhere.
'Giving thanks that I have managed to maintain my sanity through four decades of censorship…… sexism……ageism and misogyny.

'Perfectly timed with the lies we have been raised to believe about the pilgrims peacefully breaking bread with the Native American Indians when they landed on Plymouth Rock! God bless America,' concluded the songwriter before adding the hashtag '#artistsareheretodisturbthepeace'
Instagram's official Community Guidelines explicitly state that nudity is not allowed on the platform and that the female nipple is included under that umbrella.
There are exceptions to the rule such as 'photos in the context of breastfeeding, birth giving and after-birth moments, health-related situations (for example, post-mastectomy, breast cancer awareness or gender confirmation surgery) or an act of protest are allowed.'
Nudity shown in paintings and sculptures is also allowed.
When Madonna shared the unedited racy snaps to Instagram on Wednesday evening, she caused shockwaves across social media, even going as far as to alarm her devout fanbase.
In the series of images taken on a bed, the sexagenarian mother-of-six wore lingerie while positioning herself in a number of compromising snaps, including images showing her bare breast and her fishnet-clad bottom.

Her astounded fans swiftly flooded the comment section, with a majority in shock over the 'porn' esque shots, while others praised the star for her daring post, which comes after courting further controversy on the site.
Madonna was seen showing off her breasts in a bondage-inspired bra with cut outs in the body to best showcase her ample cleavage. She put her pert behind on display while kneeling before the bed with her thong-clad derriere front and center and later bending over to show even more flesh.
A further image saw the Like A Virgin hitmaker lose her top altogether, while using a duvet to partially cover her eye-popping cleavage but still baring much of her naked breast.
The NSFW photos captured Madonna in various postures, from laying topless on her sheets to under the bed with her legs spread wide. The songstress crawled seductively on bed and bit the metal handrails.
An influx of messages soon flooded, with users writing: 'This is getting kind of embarrassing now. Your children must be so proud of you. Stop showing your a**, we've seen plenty of it with the Sex book and it was brave then...
'Now it's just classless and it has nothing to do with your age... WHY MADONNA?... Why babe why!!!???! You are better than this!...

'Instead of doing this ridiculous pictures, do some quality music as you used to do... Must've lost her dignity under the bed. Lol... Sinking low...
'I don't understand how she's just allowed to flash her s**t all over Instagram like this is PornHub... Having self respect at this age will suit you better.'
But it wasn't all just negative feedback, with other fans applauding Madonna for her bold photos.

Some fans showed their appreciation by leaving flame, heart and crown emojis in the comments section as they raved about the Queen of Pop.
Her supporters penned: 'The Greatest Solo Artist in music history!! The Greatest Woman in music of all time!! The Queen of Pop, Her Majesty... Queen came to slayyyy'.
'Sexy b*tch! What an AMAZING body. You look beautiful girl! The jealous, catty b*tches are gonna go CRAZY.'
This is not the first time Madonna has sparked controversy over her photos.
Last week, she shared photos of herself which included one of photographer Steven Klein holding a knife to her throat and a caption which revealed her staff worked for free on her recent project.
A flood of comments came from fans, who blasted the multimillionaire for permitting unpaid labour, while others were left furious at her braided hairstyle - accusing the star of cultural appropriation - and some insisted she was glorifying violence.
In the images, Madonna was seen holding up a copy of the new photographic creation for V Magazine, as Klein holds a knife to her chin.
