Rihanna Inks Knee Tattoo Designed by Her Children

The Instagram reveal turns a private family doodle into a public tribute to motherhood.

Overview

  • Bang Bang’s Instagram post Friday showed the singer getting a back‑of‑knee tattoo copied from her kids’ colored‑marker scribbles, with the design rendered in black ink.
  • The artist captioned the clips “Family tats @badgalriri. Designed by her babies,” and video from the session featured Rihanna joking, “The torture I’ve endured in this shop.”
  • The reference drawing sat on paper decorated with Paw Patrol stickers, and the work continued Rihanna’s decade‑plus collaboration with tattooer Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy in New York.
  • Coverage from People, Today, Page Six, TMZ and others noted a swift online response, with some fans praising the sentimental idea and others criticizing the look of the scribble design.
  • Rihanna shares three children with A$AP Rocky — RZA, Riot and Rocki — and the family‑themed ink arrives days after their May 4 Met Gala appearance, underscoring how stars now share intimate family moments through social posts.
