AceShowbiz - It appears that Lady GaGa now has another thing in common with fellow sexual abuse survivors who joined her onstage during her performance at the 2016 Academy Awards. The Mother Monster and those survivors have got matching tattoos in solidarity.
@elverurbina1, who was apparently one of those survivors onstage of the Sunday, February 28 event, took to Twitter to share pictures showing their matching tattoos. GaGa's new ink can be seen on her left back side near her shoulder, joining her previously existing tattoos.
The "Born This Way" hitmaker has confirmed it by retweeting the post, while Diane Warren who co-wrote the Oscar-nominated song "Til It Happens to You", which GaGa performed at the Oscar ceremony, simply commented, "AMAZING!!!!"

Sage Carson, who was also one of 50 "survivors" joining GaGa onstage of the Academy Awards last Sunday, recently recalled their rehearsal. "That first day of rehearsal we were all very hesitant," Carson said. "Some who had spoken out had been very exploited. There was a lot of hesitation. Lady GaGa was crying. She hugged us all and she talked about her experience as a survivor."
"We got standing ovations in rehearsals from the crew," Carson went on sharing. "Making a statement like that, it was very hard," she added, "We were all holding hands backstage because we all needed that support." The student at the University of Delaware also said that the survivors bonded during their three days together, and about half of them got "unity" tattoos.
After her gig at the Oscars, GaGa keeps showing her support for Kesha (formerly Ke$ha), who accused Dr. Luke of abusing her, by posting on Instagram pictures to raise awareness about sexual violence in the workplace. "Join us and raise your voice to make change. Protect every woman and man from sexual violence in the workplace and beyond," she wrote in the caption of one of the images. She added some hashtags, "#FreeEveryWoman #FreeEveryMan #FreeKesha."
