Angelina Jolie's son Maddox, 19, follows in her footsteps and debuts massive dragon tattoo on torso

Angelina Jolie's love for tattoos seems to have rubbed off on eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt.

The 19-year-old appears shirtless in the pages of British Vogue alongside his famous mother, displaying two tattoos a candid photo — one large dragon across his ribs and another smaller design seen on his wrist.

Back in 2014, Jolie revealed her children were interested in getting ink of their own. As of today, Jolie has at least 20 known tattoos, including a massive tiger tattoo on her back that reportedly measures 30 x 20 centimetres and runs down her waist.

"They're already asking me about tattoos," she told Radio Times. "How do I say 'No'?"

In another interview, the mum-of-six said she doesn't oppose tattoos because it's an outlet to express yourself. 

"I love them. They're body art," she said back in 2010. 'I don't think it's abnormal that someone who spends their life in other skins wants to claim their own by marking things on it that matter to them. My most recent is five vertical rows of ancient Cambodian script. It's on my back and looks very sacred."

Maddox is the actress' eldest son, who she adopted from Cambodia in 2002 before she started dating her now-ex-husband Brad Pitt.

The actor would later officially adopt Maddox and together they went on to have a brood of six: Maddox, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.

Although the family live in the Los Angeles suburb of Los Feliz now — Pitt is also just a five-minute drive away — Jolie said she helps facilitate a relationship between Maddox and his birth country, just as she does for Pax and Zahara, who were adopted from Vietnam and Ethiopia, respectively. 

"They are from across the globe. When I see Mad in Cambodia, it's his home. He is a Cambodian man, and at the same time, he is also an American citizen and a global citizen," the actress explained to Vogue.

"But it's not just important for him to go there, it's important for his siblings to go there, too. We've been very blessed to have a family of different cultures and races. We are all learning from each other."
