Rihanna recently added a new tattoo to her collection, a gun. The tattoo artist, BangBang says the gun, which was placed on her right side, represents strength. In an interview with People magazine, BangBang says, "She has a necklace that I love that I saw about a year ago. I was like, 'You should get a little gun tattooed on you. Then when I was in L.A. to tattoo her friend – she brought me there for his birthday as a gift to him – she wanted to get a tattoo and I brought the gun out again and I stuck it on there and she loved it."

Rihanna and BangBang also were considering putting guns on her shoulders but BangBang said that, "she's very beautiful and it took away from her face a little bit."

The tattoo artist also did other tattoos for Rihanna. The first tattoo he did for her was of Freddy Krueger on her hip. He says, "She saw a tattoo I did of Freddy Krueger. She loves Freddy Krueger so she tracked me down and I did the tattoo on her hip. That was the first one."

The gun will not be the last tattoo for her as they have something in mind, "something along the lines of a very soft, light grey [tattoo] that will be blended into her skin," he says. "She loves getting tattoos. They mean a lot to her."

As for how Rihanna is doing now, BangBang says, "She's doing great. She's having a blast. She's on top of the world right now. Everybody loves her and supports her and she's got great friends. She's very tough and she's got more than enough people around her that if she needed anything, she's got it in a heartbeat."

Other Tattoos that Rihanna has are a cluster of stars on the back of her neck and a tribal mark on her wrist.

I'm glad that she is doing better and staying away from Chris Brown.
