James Hetfield found a unique way to honor late rocker Lemmy Kilmister. On Wednesday, the Metallica legend, 60, revealed he got a permanent tribute to the English musician, who founded the British heavy metal band Motörhead, on his body. 'With the steady hand of friend and tattoo artist @coreymillertattoo, this tattoo,' Hetfield captioned an image of himself flipping off the camera as he showed off the piece of ink on his middle finger. 'A salute to my friend and inspiration Mr. Lemmy Kilmister. Without him, there would be NO Metallica.' He continued: 'Black ink mixed with a pinch of his cremation ashes that were so graciously given to me. So now, he is still able to fly the bird at the world.'
