Now that Chris Brown has gotten slapped on the wrist for punching her in the face, Rihanna was probably thinking that marked an end to her legal worries. Not so, and this time she has no one to blame but herself. Wednesday night Rihanna was visiting her pal BangBang, the tattooist responsible for defacing her lovely skin with a series of weird-ass images, at BangBang’s tattoo parlor East Side Ink. Evidently some of the employees decided it would be cute to introduce Rihanna to the fun side of tattooing—the side where you get to inflict pain, instead of suffering it—so Rihanna took up the needle and gave three of them little umbrella tats with a stylized “R.” Not a good idea. Aside from the fact that you could probably get a more skillful tattoo from a randomly chosen cellmate at Rikers Island, it’s highly illegal in New York for anyone but a licensed tattooist to wield the needle. Rihanna’s little stunt could cost her nearly $2000 in fines, and East Side Ink could be looking at some fines of their own for letting her use their equipment.

Normally I’d say Rihann’s victims also deserve some sort of fine for criminal stupidity. Possibly the only thing dumber than getting a band/musician tattoo is getting one from someone who’s never administered a tattoo before. But these people work in a tattoo parlor, so you know they already look like carnies. Once Rihanna’s star fades, her little umbrellas will be reworked into a tribal design or a flaming skull or something.
