Lady Gaga now has a permanent reminder of her loyal fanbase after having an image of her signature claw hand gesture inked on her back.

The Poker Face hitmaker, who refers to her fans as Little Monsters, posted a photo of her new tattoo on Twitter.com on Friday (03Oct14) with the caption "Monsters4Life (sic)."

The fan tribute features an image of a clawed hand, which has become Gaga's signature salute to her fans over the years.

She added in a later tweet, "I got this tattoo to honor (sic) my fans, u are special, loyal & I'm humbled everyday how lucky I am to have you. Paws Up I'll be a monster4life (sic)."
