Rihanna reveals touching tattoo designed by her three children


Rihanna has revealed her latest tattoo: a doodle drawn by her three children.

The musician's longtime tattoo artist, Keith McCurdy, shared a post on Instagram on Friday showing a close-up of the 38-year-old's new design on the back of her leg, which consisted of a group of doodles.

The original artwork was drawn with colored markers on a sheet of paper and decorated with Paw Patrol stickers.

“Family tattoos @badgalriri,” the tattoo artist captioned the post. “Designed by your babies.”

Another slide showed the musician before getting the tattoo and was asked if she was nervous. “Yes,” she replied, laughing.

“The torture I've endured in this store,” Rihanna joked in another video. One photo also showed the singer proudly showing off the new ink while standing in front of a mirror.

Fans have been sharing their joy on social media, with one writing on Instagram: “Imagine looking back when you're older… The cutest mom.”

“She's always so original when it comes to tattoos,” said another. “The most beautiful meaning!!!”

The singer has more than two dozen tattoos and McCurdy has done many of them. He has his year of birth, 1988, on his right ankle, a Pisces symbol behind his right ear, and an image of the Goddess Isis prominently displayed on his ribcage.

The hitmaker also has the words “never a failure, always a lesson” written backwards on her collarbone, so she can read them while standing in front of a mirror.
