Ever since Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” music video, the “monster claw” that she displays in one of her dance sequences has become the official symbol for a Gaga fan to flaunt to show their dedication to their beloved superstar.
To embrace this symbol, Lady Gaga just got a tattoo for her fans on the inside of her left elbow which reads “Little Monsters.”
The singer explained the ink on her Twitter, saying:
‘Look what I did last night. Little monsters forever, on the arm that holds my mic. x.’
You’ve gotta love how much she loves her fans! And at the same time, you have to love how much Lady Gaga loves FAME.
Social media expert and director of Trendrr, Alex Mann, recently wrote an article on Lady Gaga and her “Fame Equation.” He analyzes the question: What is it that makes Lady Gaga, among other things, the most talked-about music artist on the internet?
Alex writes:
“Fame, at its core, is fueled by the artist’s demand for attention. Take one of Gaga’s earliest stunts: fed up with her ignorant audience as she played in a crowded, NYU bar, she decided to strip to her underwear. Hardly high brow, but a magnetic step in attracting attention toward her character, rather than the music. The next day, you can bet the almost naked, talented female pianist was a popular conversation among the influential New York music crowd.”

Hey, well all love Justin Bieber, just not as much as this ‘tween that convinced her mom to get a tattoo for tickets. As part of a ‘Tattoo for Tickets’ promotion on a radio station, one lucky fan got tickets to see the One Less Lonely Girl singer. So long as her mom got a tattoo of the radio DJ’s face. Nice. Some people are yelling hoax, but after talking directly with the tattoo artist we can confirm that this indeed happened. This poor woman has a man’s face right on her keister! Hope daddy isn’t too mad!
This isn’t the first time Bobby of Cool Cat Tattoo has done this promotion. Bobby told us of a time last year when for Jonas Brothers‘ tickets a mom got a huge tattoo of the logo for the radio show. I am guessing that it’s the moms that are subjected to this because the fans of these popular singers are not of legal age.
What do you guys think about the ‘Tattoo for Tickets’? Would you subject your mom to a permanent mark for your chance to meet Justin Bieber?
However this is pretty interesting. The tattoo reads “Never a failure, always a lesson” but it’s inked on her skin BACKWARDS so that she can read it in the mirror. Pretty cool idea in my opinion.
The tattoo artist said “I asked her why she wanted that and she said, ‘It’s kind of my motto in life for everything.’ Instead of considering things to be mistakes, considering them lessons.”
Pete Wentz sure stands by his word when he makes a bet with a friend!
He apparently got a little drunk the other night with friend/lead singer of Cobra Starship,Gabriel Saporta, and got a tattoo of Gabe’s face on the side of his calf! And it’s not even a little tat…it’s HUGE!
Pete tweeted about the “incident”, saying:
my head hurts. i was buzzed lightyear last night. followed thru on a gentlemens bet w/@gabrielsaporta now i have 1 more bad tattoo.
my brain needs to stop kicking my eyeballs in the face. it makes sense in my head.
Last night Rihanna was spotted in NY at East Side Ink not getting another tattoo but giving one.
She apparently went into the tattoo parlor to visit her friend tattoo artist, BangBang, but she ended up trying her hand artistry herself. BangBang is the one that gave Rihanna her stars,”shhh”, and gun tattoos, which created quite a buzz.
Reports originally surfaced saying that Rihanna was their getting a tattoo lesson and that she was trying it out on BangBang. She started out with just giving him an “R” on his leg. Having too much fun she decided to ink up two other tattoo artists Josh and Patrick. “Josh Lord got an ‘R’ with ‘2′ on his leg, and Patrick Conlon got an ‘R3′ on his arm,” East Side Ink owner Yadira reported to MTV News. “She hadn’t done that before.”
“We had a blast,” Yadira added. “It was so funny and cute.”
This may have been all fun and games for these folks but the NYC Department of Health is not laughing. The department is saying that “only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City’s Health Code.”
TMZ reported that if the department decides to press charges against the pop star for tattooing someone without a license, she could face three misdemeanors for the offense. And each offense has its penalty with as much as $300 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third offense. Additionally, sources told the Web site that in addition to Rihanna, East Side Ink could be facing fines as well if an investigation is opened.

Because Amy Winehouse was going to perform via satelite for the Grammys, the Grammy’s producer was concerned about how the American audience would react to her bare breasted woman tattoo.
As not to offend her fans, Amy decided to have a bra drawn on the woman. The temporary fix was easily removed after the performance and showed Amy’s willingness to by the rules for the much anticipated satellite viewing.
