TWITTER LOOP: RIHANNA GETS “THUG LIFE” TATTOO IN FLUORESCENT INK

January 26th, 2012

Rihanna is taking her bad girl attitude to new heights! Early Wednesday afternoon (January 25), the pop princess hit up the Hollywood’s Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlor out in California and got herself a new Tupac inspired tattoo.

The 23-year-old singer put the words “Thug Life” on her knuckles using ‘fluorescent ink’ – This ink style is becoming very popular and only shows up while around a black or blue light. Tattoo artist Mark Mahoney laced the pop star and even took a few photos afterward..

Rih Rih also tweeted a photo of herself with actor Danny “Machete” Trejo. Apparently, he was there to get a touch up on a back tattoo of his kids. When asked what he thought of the singer getting inked up, he replied that Rihanna is the “most beautiful thug in the world” and “If I was 40 years younger she would be in a lot of trouble.” (READ MORE)

Rihanna also got another tat on her back in Tibetan….

    Rihanna is just a lost cause! I understand you suppose to live life freely and enjoy yourself but cmon at a time u need to be serious about stuff! I know she’s young (didn’t know she was only 23 tho looks much older) but still you get older and wat are all these stupid tattoos gonna mean then to you

    I REALLY hope that is a temporary tattoo.. Rihanna has REALLY been going off on the deep end lately…I wonder if she is doing all this on purpose?

      I was thinking the same thing….I love Rihanna but I just hope she doesn’t end up like some other celebs. I think she will snap back before things get out of control just getting tats and smoking weed right now she’s good.

      I hope she does, and then this little “career” she has can be over and done with. I swear she wasn’t supposed to be here for this long, I often wonder how.

      Well said, Lulu. She looks like an absolute moron in these photos–and had the nerve to post them thinking they look cute. The depths of delusion these Hollywood-types sink into knows no bounds. Please let her go the Britney route, so we can be done with her. When this girl first came on the scene, with her no-talent having self, I just knew she was destined for one-hit-wonderdom. Beauty can take you truly far in the entertainment business, as Rihanna attests, because she has not an ounce of talent and zero class or (projected) intelligence.

    This girl latches onto anything that will get her publicity and it’s quite sad. It’s like she’s incorporated at least 6 different personas into her image when probably only one of which is her true self. Completely manufactured.

      You’re dumb. It’s called reinvention. Each album she does that. When Madge was changing it up every album people praised her. Get into it, trick! I mean really…

    Rihanna is not living a Thug Life she’s living a Stripper Life! So that tattoo was pointless

    she really isn’t anything without the full face/body make up & weave.

    Ain’t got ish on Alicia Keys, that woman is ”Beautiful” effortlessly.

    The girl hasn’t even got a decent personality to fall back on.

    Ok I’m starting to not like this girl. She starting to play herself out. Cussing fans out on twitter is not the business honey and she thinks its cute. While they are constantly buying into her pop bullshit music, she should be greatful and appreciative but Rihanna is at the point where she expects to go #1 and feels she doesn’t owe her fans anything. I like her better than beyonce but both these bitches can really have a seat. Its time to bring back real music because these kids have lost their damn minds. But at the end of the day they are both fads, they come and they will eventually GO…

    She just needs to go somewhere and hide, just go hide Rihanna! You are a very immature lady and you need to act your age and gain some class! Just a pathetic child who has thrown her entire career into the garbage can. Such a drug whore.

    Clearly she is bored and needs something to do. Maybe she should try acting, taking singing lessons, collaborate with the chick from RHOA on her sex toy line, get a degree, start a business… whatever it is, find SOMETHING to do and do it quickly!

    Rihanna is an MK-ULTRA asset. Excessive tattoos and promiscuity are how MK sex kittens express themselves in their “free” time. She literally cannot help herself. She will have a mental breakdown (if she’s not already having one) and shave her head eventually. It’s what is called “self-destruct programming”.

      Please join me in my fight to end crap music, if you are tried of robots ruling your radio damn station 24, hours a day 7 days a week, click yes, but most if ya’ll think I’m playin’! But I just don’t usually sit here type this long of a post, but the station 92.5 crap blocked me because I protested against their stupid music! So the point is, stand up and help me protest and tell the radio stations to play better music or we’ll stop listening to the radio! Will give more details lata!!!!!

    Everyone is entitled to there opinion but I dont understand how a stupid tattoo makes her the next Britney or Amy Winehouse. Yes Rihanna is extremely overrated and being young is not an excuse for anything. But its a tattoo not something for people to get upset about. As far as the thug life tattoo ….. EVERYONE knows Rihanna is the farthest thing from a thug.

    know something, i’m so dissapointed with the way rhianna has turned out to be. for somaeone who comes from the caribbean, i’, just so upset with her for the way she has portrayed herself over the years. common rhianna you can be classy not slutty. its not about money. look at beyonce and take a page out of her book. i will never buy any of your records nor will i let my children hear your songs. u’ve embarassed us. I was talking to a bajan friend of mine and he is sooo embarrased at the way u’ve been carrying on. common rhianna get your stuff together and make us (caribbean people) proud

    I’m sensing a mental breakdown on the horizon #Watch I’ve actually been saying this about her for years. I know fans are going to be mad but if I am wrong then you will have the last laugh. Also, being photographed consuming alcohol regularly (along with the other stuff) #NotSmartOrCute Of course, she has the right to “live her life” but if she wants to keep those corporate contracts she been racking up she betta watch it and not go too far. #ImmatureWithTooMuchMoneyIGuess

    She probably does these things because it makes her feel protected. In a way I think she wants people to be a little afraid of her so that no one could ever hurt her again.

    It’s her Body, Money and her Tats
    and besides that many of you commenting
    negatively do not have a clue as to how
    your behind’s would be if you was in her
    shoes.
    Many are always trying to say how and what she should do. Like she sings “Live Your Life” and if she goes off the deep end and looses it all over
    stupid tattos all over her body then and only then can you truthfully say that she’s nutts and a looser.

    Many chicks her age is tied down
    with a house full of children’s and
    don’t even have a clue as to who
    the dad’s are but yet you have all
    kinds of negativity to hash on her.
    If she was a real druggie, nutts and
    all the way crazy and ready for Rehab
    then explain how is she doing her job
    so good?
    Find her 2011 accomplishments, part one
    and part two and read you just might
    learn something, just saying.

    You guys are so mean and hateful. Many of you are haters and wannabees. Go to hell. How dare you talk about this women like this. She is beautiful, smart, and talented. I like the different styles and everyone changes if not you are just a BORE. Rhianna, you go girl. Tell these haters to kiss your A**!!!! She is obviously important enough for you guys to write all these mean things about her. She will not be in rehab, jail, or fat and sloppy. She has much potential just had a bad incident. I love the tough Rhianna, I feel her. You ROCK!!!!! I HOPE YOU READ THIS!!! ALL YOU HATERS GO SUCK SUMTHING!!!!!!
