Last we saw Rihanna, she was helping a hip-hopster of dubitable repute try and polish his public perception quotient, once again Gossip Girls has been busy stalking the poor Bajan entertainer while she strolls her canine companion to a tattoo parlour…

Rihanna got the inked-flesh decor, not the puppy, dodo-brain! What’s the big deal anyway? Would you like to know what colours she farts too? They should use this energy to track down deadbeat dads or serial killers! This is what the internet tabloid said –

Enjoying a few days off before heading back to the tour circuit, Rihanna was spotted getting a little ink work done over the weekend.

Wearing a black hooded sweater, the Umbrella singer kept her new body art under wraps when she was seen leaving a NYC tattoo parlor…

Just yesterday, however, Rihanna spent part of the day out with her puppy and was all about showing off the new tattoo.

The design, which looks to be in the beginning stages, is located on the 19-year-old Barbadian?s left arm and is of a guitar with distorted frets.
