Lady Gaga got a peace sign on her left wrist in 2006, which was inspired by the late John Lennon. During her acceptance speech for the LennonOno Grant For Peace in 2012, Lady Gaga elaborated on her connection with John Lennon, saying, "When I turned 19, I got [a peace sign] tattoo to remind me that if ever I was to gain the attention of the critical mass, even in an exponentially smaller way than John had, that I would commit myself to breeding compassion from my voice."
