Rihanna has some new controversial ink!
Never one to err on the conservative side of things, the 23-year-old singer took her daring looks to a new level on Tuesday with a brand-new tattoo that pays homage to the late Tupac Shakur.

"All these b*tches screaming that 2pac back #THUGLIFE," the "We Found Love" singer tweeted with a pic showing off her new ink: "THUG LIFE" written across her knuckles on both hands. Tupac, who was murdered in Las Vegas in 1996, had the exact same phrase tattooed on his stomach.

Rihanna is fresh off her trip in Hawaii, where she showed off her figure in several revealing bathing suits and was photographed smoking what appeared to be marijuana.
During her stay, she also managed to run into Danny Trejo, the 67-year-old actor who's been in and out of jail, while in tattoo artist Mark Mahoney's shop.
"Look who's in the #TATTOO parlor...Danny Trejo #G4L p.s. Look up his story!" the star tweeted.
It's been reported that the Barbados beauty has up to 15 tattoos now, including a small gun on her rib cage, a skull on her ankle and the words "rebelle fleur" (French for rebellious flower) on the back of her neck.
Another controversial development in her life? Last week, Us Weekly broke the news that Rihanna and ex Chris Brown (who infamously assaulted her in 2009) have been secretly hooking up for nearly a year. "There's no denying they can't get enough of each other," a pal told Us. "I don't see it ending well."
Tell Us What You Think
47she's so low rent
she's so low rent
she needs to walk into Chris Brown's knuckles, again....
she needs to walk into Chris Brown's knuckles, again....
she might grow out of this, hopefully
She is getting so GHETTO. She needs to take a good look at herself at what she is doing. She is going to lose respect from people.
Her body but why!!!!
seriously? she's so stupid...wtf was she thinking?!? #dumb --G
That's her money and her body; she can do whatever the hell she wants to do.
Whoa! Is that really her huge nose? Or, is she wearing a mask?
What a moroon!!!!!!!!
THUG LIFE - The Hate U Gave Little Infants, F-ck Everybody...Tupacs' meaning of Thug Life wasn't just about the gangsta-ism involved...the meaning is much deeper than that. "What you feed us as seeds, grows and blows up in your face. Thatâ??s Thug Life" - Tupac
rihanna is kind of being reckless lately... she just seems to be doing stuff just to do something. i dont mean just the tattoo i mean in general shes not about nothing lately
She doesn't come close to 2pac!!!!He would eat her alive!!!!!
Your not a "THUG" Rihanna knock it off
She is starting to get a bit too extreme with things now. The "thug life" tat on her knuckles is kinda stupid, especially considering the fact she doesn't have a thuggish bone in her entire body.
She's beautiful, but I am really sensing bipolar disorder...for real. Hopefully, she has the same good family support Brittany Spears has. She could use some guidance.
