According to the VAN HALEN News Desk, singer David Lee Roth got tattooed on his recent trip to Japan.

And the photo shows a moment of the procedure.

Just months after releasing his first album with Roth in almost 30 years, Eddie Van Halen required emergency surgery for a bowel infection in August.

The band's official statement: "Eddie Van Halen underwent an emergency surgery for a severe bout of diverticulitis. No further surgeries are needed and a full recovery is expected within four-six months."

Diverticulitis is an inflammation and infection of the intestines, which first developed while on tour.

The first single from Van Halen's reunion album, A Different Kind Of Truth, was coincidentally 'Tattoo'!
