We all know that Rihanna loves her ink. Being a musician is all about self-expression and her 16 tattoos allow her to literally wear her attitudes, beliefs, and emotions. This seems pretty normal, but just wait until you hear what Rihanna’s favorite tattoo artist, Bang Bang, has to say about her new tattoo and her strange tattoo ritual.
According to the Celebrity Café, the Barbadian pop princess went to Bang Bang’s Lower East Side Tattoo Parlor, which isn’t open to the public until later this year, to get a black cross tattoo on her collarbone. Bang Bang explained that the ink was cut with water to make it lighter than a normal black line, something that Riri had done with a previous tattoo.
Bang Bang revealed Rihanna’s bizarre post-tattoo behavior where she “flips out” and “jumps up and down like a 16-year-old girl getting her first car.” Rihanna must really enjoy getting her tattoos because this enthusiastic behavior happens every time she visits Bang Bang’s tattoo parlor.
It seems as if Rihanna enjoys the process of getting a tattoo, so definitely keep an eye out for even more ink. Who knows what she will add to her diverse collection that already includes a gun on her ribs, the word “Shhh“ on her finger, and stars trailing from her neck down her back.
