Lady Gaga has revealed that the reason she only has tattoos on the left hand side of her body is because her father requested her to try to remain “normal” on one side.

During a questions and answer session held at the Google headquarters she spoke of how she has kept the right hand side of her body very natural as a mark of respect for her father Joseph Germanotta.

Lady Gaga said: All of my tattoos are on one side, per my father's request. He asked that I remain, on one side, slightly normal, so I only have my tattoos on my left side.”

To this she added: “I think that he sees the right as like my Marilyn Monroe side and the left as my Iggy Pop side.”

While the singing superstar has admitted she is able to control herself in the name of her father t is her wild side that seems to be winning the fight.

Lady Gaga said: “I think, from a neurological standpoint, I'm creatively driven by my left side. But he's asked that I don't get any on the right side for whatever reason.”

It also appears that Lady Gaga suffers from the same anxieties and problems as most 24 year old women as she spoke of her need to perform Bikram yoga in a room which is heated up to 100 degrees in order to keep in the best of shape.

She added that the rest of the Lady Gaga team would often tease her about the strict diet that she consistently adheres too.

“There's a lot of backstage shenanigans. Very often they will make jokes about my diet because they know I have to stay fit for videos. So they'll leave mounds of cheeseburgers in my dressing room. It's really awful,” said Lady Gaga.
