Rihanna's New Gun Tattoo: Sexy or Sending Bad Message?

by at .

You might think Rihanna would be the last person to glamorize violence after Chris Brown pounded her into oblivion and threatened to kill her last month.

But apparently, you'd be wrong.

For whatever reason, the 21-year-old star decided to have a small handgun tattooed on her body this week. The weapon has been etched across her ribcage.

Rihanna visited the appropriately named tattoo artist BangBang in L.A., and he initially drew a pair of guns on her guns - as in the sides of the tops of her arms.

The "Umbrella" singer decided against having a new tattoo inked on in such a prominent position, however, due to her contract with makeup brand Cover Girl.

BangBang wrote: "I really wanted to put it here [on her arms] ... She loved 'em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much, and they pay the bills!"

Rihanna has been keeping a low profile in recent times following her "alleged" assault at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown, who went off on her during a heated argument in his sports car the day before the Grammy Awards.

The couple, who reconciled after the incident despite the domestic battery and criminal charges Brown faces, are said to be taking a break. Still no word on who sent the infamous booty call text that sparked the argument, Tina Davis or Natasha Ellie.

Brown is expected to be back in court for his arraignment April 6.

    This girl is not Rihanna. Her nose is to big, her forehead and eyebrows are to round and the things in the background don't seem to be the type a popstar would keep in their home.

    To Briam..... I am glad I did not listen to people like you when my relationship had it's downs! I forgave my man and we have now been happy for 14 yrs without him as much as raising his finger to me! He swore he would never hit me again and I am glad I believed him or I would not be as happy as I am today, abusive free and a beautiful family!
