Her tattoo sure gives us siblings goals! Lady Gaga inked a cute mouse on her arm which is dedicated to her little sister Natali. She says that she had nicknamed her as “mouse” when they were young. Also, the details of the mouse tattoo are so meaningful. The mouse is seen holding a needle that depicts Natali’s love for designing clothes and there’s a thread twirled around the mouse’s legs which forms the word “Nat.”
