Lady Gaga’s 12 Insane Tattoos & Their Meanings

Music’s reigning queen is Lady Gaga. She genuinely loves ink. The interesting fact about Lady Gaga’s body art is that her entire left side is covered in ink.

Lady Gaga had promised her father that she would only get tattoos on her left side and refrain from getting any on her right. Like this one about the “keep to the left” principle of Lady Gaga’s body ink, there are many fascinating stories behind each of her tattoos. Let’s explore the meaning behind Lady Gaga’s tattoos.

The first tattoo is called “Daisies.”

Meaning: She got a tattoo of three pretty daisies in 2008, not long after having tattoo artist Kat Von D alter her ‘Treble Clef’ tattoo with a gorgeous rose design. Lady Gaga adores flowers. The daisy is a representation of innocence, beauty, and purity.

2. The “Dad” Tattoo

Meaning: The pop diva wanted to get a tattoo of her dad because she is a daddy’s girl. She got the word “Dad” written on a heart as a tattoo. In October 2009, not long after her father underwent a successful open-heart procedure, Lady Gaga got this tattoo. Although her father first objected to the surgery, Lady Gaga persuaded him by promising she would never fall in love or publish another book.

“BORN THIS WAY” 3.

The words “born this way” are tattooed on The Queen of Pop’s leg beneath a unicorn. The title of her debut single and the album is “Born This Way.” The song, which soon became the LGBTQ community’s anthem, is from the album and is about accepting your distinctive features. It stands for excellence, compassion, and purity.

4. The “Cherub” tattoo is a tattoo of Lady Gaga

Meaning: Although each of Lady Gaga’s tattoos is intriguing and has a rich history, this one is particularly noteworthy. The Queen of Pop had her cherub tattoo inked live in front of millions of spectators on September 13, 2012, to celebrate the release of her perfume. Lady Gaga was sitting on a huge perfume bottle as tattoo artist Mark Mahoney engraved the Cherub tattoo on the back of her head.

5. The “Mouse” Ink

Meaning: A cute little mouse is adorning Lady Gaga’s left arm. The tattoo depicts a little mouse holding a needle and thread in one hand and an “X” over one of his eyes. The tattoo was inspired by Lady Gaga’s younger sister Natali Germanotta, whom she used to call “mouse” as a child. The needle symbolizes Natali’s passion for fashion design, and the thread spells out her nickname, “Nat,” to signify her life.

6. “Trumpet” Ink

Meaning: By getting a trumpet tattooed on the inside of her right bicep, Lady Gaga violated her pledge to her father to refrain from getting ink on the right side of her body. This tattoo was inspired by Tony Bennett, a legendary musician, and gifted artist. Lady Gaga’s appreciation of Tony Bennett is depicted in her tattoo.

7. The “Mother Monster” tattoo

Meaning: In 2014, a month after getting the “monster claw” tattoo, Lady Gaga got another one. This time, it was the pop icon’s name, “Mother Monster,” written in paisley style across the left side of her ribcage and up to her armpit. The tattoo honored the release date of her debut album, The Famous Monster, which was five years ago (2008).

8. The “Joanne” tattoo

Meaning: On October 21, 2016, Gaga had the album title “Joanne” permanently inked onto her arm. She got this tattoo on October 25, 2016. Also, her aunt “Joanne,” who passed away on December 18, 1974, is honored by this tattoo.

9. A tattoo of Lady Gaga

Meaning: This tattoo was applied to her by tattoo artist Winter Stone. The notes were first spelled incorrectly, but Winter immediately fixed it. But, as supporters pointed out, the notes can be read as “BCBC,” Bradley Cooper’s initials in bass clef. Although there have been rumors that this tattoo is related to Lady Gaga’s upcoming album, she has not yet released one. Additionally, Gaga has not publicly acknowledged getting this tattoo.

10. Lady Gaga’s tattoo

Meaning: This tattoo is directly over one of her mice. The word “Haus” on the tattoo alludes to the stylistic and design collective known as the “House of Gaga.” In 2016, she got this tattoo to mark the tenth anniversary of “House of Gaga.”

11. A tattoo of the “Treble Clef”

Do you know the age at which she received her first tattoo? Yeah, 17 years have passed. It is accurate. With a fake ID, Lady Gaga had a little black treble clef tattooed on her back. Later, when Gaga was 22 years old, Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Kat Von D modified this tattoo by putting pretty flowers to it. Gaga claimed in an interview that she was afraid of her parents, who disapproved of body piercings when she got her tattoo.

12. Inked Peace Sign

Meaning: As she had this tattoo done in 2006, it was acquired in the same year. John Lennon, an English musician, songwriter, and peace activist, served as the inspiration for this tattoo. The tattoo’s reverse placement is another unique feature. She deliberately had it tattooed upside down so that when she looks at it, it serves as a reminder of what is most important to her in this life.
