Skin is in for Mother Monster, yet again.

The only thing surprising about Lady Gaga's topless cover for V magazine is that she's almost fully dressed.

The "Applause" singer shared the cover with fans via Twitter and announced that there are actually three more cover shots on their way. Perhaps the next will be a bit more revealing?

Gaga graces the fashion mag in a pink-sequined, cropped jacket and a pair of unbuttoned jeans. She's shown grabbing her left breast as she holds up her pants and shows off her taut tummy.

But the real scandalous stuff doesn't happen on the cover…

Gaga completely bares her all in the photo shoot (we're talking her all, people).

In one particularly risqué shot, she completely exposes her chest and wears nothing but a tank top around her lower half. Her face and body are smeared in black paint and her hair is pulled back into a messy bun.

And in another shot, she's seen staring seductively into the camera with just the side of her breast popping out of the same tank top as before. Honestly, a hint of side boob is pretty tame for Gagaloo!

The pop star has been teasing the magazine's special four covers for weeks now. 

In fact, last month the shoot's photographers released a shot of the singer completely nude which will soon grace the pages of the publication.

"Get ready world for our pics," one of the photographers wrote on her Instagram.

Gaga released her first single off of the album Artpop on Monday a week ahead of schedule.

"Due to hackers an abundance of low/high quality leaks…we issue this pop music emergency…monsters spread the word," she said via Twitter.

Artpop will hit stores on Nov. 11 and the September issue of V magazine will hit newsstands Aug. 29.
