Pop megastar Lady Gaga recently visited a tattoo parlour on a trip to Brazil and specifically asked an artist to give her a prison style inking. 

While in Rio De Janeiro, the 'Applause' beauty visited Daniel Tucci's studio and asked for an edgy design. He opened up about the session to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper and said:

"Gaga came to me and said she wanted a tattoo that looked like something done in a prison - edgy, grey, I suppose a bit scary. She wanted a design that a fan had given her, the word 'Rio' where the letter 'I' was the Christ."

"She told me she wanted it to look like a prison tattoo, not a nice design, a bit shadowy. 'Like something done in prison,' was the term she used. She didn't want it to look really sharp but more like an amateur tattoo. It's on the back of her neck, just below the hairline - she got her hair especially shaped to show the design. She was laughing with her friend and listening to music all through the inking. She never flinched with the pain."

Meanwhile, the hitmaker is preparing to unveil 'ARTPOP' on November 11 and took to her official Twitter page in the early hours of this morning (October 11) to share details on the album's second single:

"2ND SINGLE #VENUS Worldwide Release OCT. 27 2013. Descend your discoballs. #TAKEMETOYOURPLANET #TAKEMETOYOURLEADER #TAKEMETOYOURVENUS."
