Rihanna's New Tattoo

Well I'm going to assume that Rihanna's body has recovered from her one on one slugfest with Chris Brown because she now has a new tattoo, which makes it tattoo number four. Her new tattoo provided by tattoo artist Bang Bang is that of a gun, which is located on her ribcage. The tattoo was originally supposed to be on her upper arms, but this would have pissed off the people at Cover Girl because it goes against the contract.

I'm not sure why she did this. Maybe she should have tattooed the face of Rocky Balboa on there, to you know symbolize that she can take a punch. Another tattoo suggestion would be a T-bone steak or a Ziploc bag full of ice. Because just in case Mr. Brown decides to knock her senseless again she has an instant reminder of what to slap on her face (sorry I couldn't help it) to keep the swelling down. Or maybe, considering Chris Brown got tattoos of stars on the back of his head to match Rihanna's, maybe he can get one too to add to his burgeoning collection of ink.

But another reason for the tattoo might be for a different reason. Maybe it's some kind of physical shopping list. Maybe she already bought a gun and is using this to tell the public. Who knows maybe if Chris Brown decides to go Ike Turner on her again Rihanna will have a surprise for him. One thing's for sure if Rihanna shows up one day sporting a stun gun and samurai sword tattoo then we'll know she's packing some serious firepower, though I must say her tattoo of a 007 James Bond looking pistol is not nearly as egregious as one would have thought upon hearing the news.

I do hope that if those tattoos do rear their heads that Chris Brown takes the hint, because if he doesn't the world will be short one R&B singer. The only question is will Rihanna finish him fast or make him suffer? Well what does everybody think of Rihanna's new tattoo? Does it add some more sex appeal, does it give her more street cred or is this some kind of cry for help or attention? Let us know in a comment below.
