Rihanna Inks Large Leg Tattoo From Her Children’s Scribbles

The body art underscores how she is centering family in her public image.

Overview

  • A video posted Friday on Instagram by tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy shows Rihanna getting a new leg tattoo based on her three kids’ drawing.
  • The piece mirrors their colorful marker doodles from a sticker-covered page and sits on the back of her knee.
  • Fans reacted within hours with a mix of confusion and criticism, asking if the tattoo was real and saying she should have waited until the kids were older.
  • During the same visit, she got a new ear piercing on camera and joked through the pain, saying, “What did I do to deserve this? Contractions were not this bad!”
  • The reveal came from her longtime collaborator Bang Bang and follows her family-focused public moments this spring, including Monday’s Met Gala with A$AP Rocky.
