One of her dancing sharks may have forgotten the ENTIRE dance routine during her Super Bowl performance on Sunday, but Katy Perry had a great time anyway.

In fact, she had such a brilliant time she decided to permanently mark the occasion by having ink stabbed into her skin.

MUST-SEE NEWS

The singer got the Roman numerals ‘XLIX’ tattooed onto the inside of her ring finger on her right hand.

The numerals translate to 49 as she performed during the half-time show of the 49th Super Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona.

Posting a picture on Instagram, she wrote: “I thought it would be appropriate to draw blood tonight… XLIX.”

We do love to drag a sharp needle through our skin and spray blood everywhere for a good old celebration. YAY!

The wonder warbler got her new body art soon after her performance in front of a load of spectators but there's no confirmation yet that she actually got it done at the stadium.

Katy performed to more than 115 million people worldwide at the weekend and was joined on stage by Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott.

She entered on a MASSIVE LION singing Roar. Or a tiger. But we think a LION.

And the internet was like "Why is Katy Perry twerking against that fella from The Hunger Games if she likes kissing girls?"

Is it us, or do these dancers look a LOT like Taylor Swift when she's on holiday??

Missy Elliot came onstage and heralded Katy's third costume

We enjoyed Katy's sassy microphone being attached to her wrist. That's just practical

SHE FLEW UP IN THE AIR ON A GIANT SHOOTING STAR. That'll be why the mic was strapped to her wrist. Also why Missy Elliot had two songs on her own, while she was attached to it, we're guessing.
