I'm unsure of how to make these kind of sentences, where it seems like I need 2 的's. noun + adjective + noun
我看到她的很丑的纹身。
I saw her ugly tattoo.
我见面他的很高的儿子。
I met his very tall son.
I'm sure these are wrong, so how do I do it?
Thanks!

我看到她的很丑的纹身。
我看到她很丑的纹身。
Also, in sentence no. 2, 见面 is what's known as a V.O. (verb+object) verb. It doesn't take a direct object. Simply divide it in two, put the object part 面 at the end of the sentence, and add the last 的 to 儿子:
我见面他的很高的儿子。
我见他很高儿子的面。
