If you guessed that Lady Gaga was the artist with that rosy tattoo on her back, then you were exactly right! The swirling bouquet of black-and-white roses is one of Mother Monster's many tattoos.

Gaga received this lower back tattoo when she was 22 years old and on the brink of stardom. She was mostly working as a songwriter for other artists at the time, but she had also been touring and performing with '90s boy band New Kids on the Block. Who would've guessed that just a little while later, her breakout hit 'Just Dance' would transform her from struggling musician Stefani Germanotta to international superstar Lady Gaga?

The roses tatted on Gaga's back are beautiful and extremely well done, and there's a good reason for that -- Gaga actually received the tattoo from acclaimed tattoo artist/television personality Kat Von D! The ink session was taped for Kat Von D's reality show, but it unfortunately never aired. However, thanks to the wonders of YouTube, you can watch Gaga get tatted below!
