Chilli's adult son, Tron Austin who's also a musician like his parents is now 23 and marked the milestone by flaunting his tattoos in a stunning photo.

It seemed like only a while back when TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas rejoiced over her son, Tron Austin’s college graduation. Now he’s 23 and like his mother, a musician to watch out for.

Tron took to his Instagram today to mark his birthday with a stunning photo of him in a music studio. Clad in a studded black jacket worn shirtless, he flaunted his intricately designed chest tattoo as well as the several others on the back of his hands and right above his abs.

Tron also shared an animated photo that inspired his solo and captioned his pic, “Chapter 23! 777 Happy to be alive.”

Two years ago, Tron’s mother, Chilli was jubilant when she shared a clip from his college graduation at Full Sail University where he attained his bachelor’s degree in music production. His dad, music producer Dallas Austin was also present for the occasion.

Tron and Chilli are especially close that sometimes they transcend the parent-son bond to one among best friends.

In a post commemorating that milestone, Tron attributed his achievement to hard work and dedication, the same thing his mother applauded him for in her tribute to Tron.

Much like his parents, Tron is currently pursuing a career in music. His mother is very supportive of this. In fact, she took on the challenge to dance to her son’s track, “Captions” in a video that became a viral hit.

Tron and Chilli are especially close that sometimes they transcend the parent-son bond to one among best friends. During an interview on Sister Circle TV, Chilli admits that Tron will always be first in her life. Raising him, she was a hands-on mom who could only count on one hand the number of times she didn’t take him to school.

Tron appreciates this, realizing in college how lucky he was to have grown up being close to his mother. He also appreciates her advice, one of which is not to never quit even when things get tough. Chilli also reminds him to be humble and kind and keep God in the center of his life.
