A video showing Lady GaGa getting a tattoo and discussing her career plans before she hit the big time has emerged on the internet.
The clip shows Gaga visiting celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D to have a design inked on her lower back, and the two women are seen discussing the singer's blossoming songwriting career.
Von D asks Gaga where she is from and what she does for a living and the star replies that she has just moved to California from New York and is working as a singer and songwriter for other artists, before exclaiming with delight that she has been writing for reformed boy band New Kids on the Block.
Gaga is then seen going under the needle and telling Von D, "You really do beautiful work, really elegant."
