Rihanna new tattoo,She has millions in the bank and an entourage which would dwarf a basketball team.
But despite her life of excess, money and privilege, it seems Rihanna would rather be branded like a common thug.
The wayward singer revealed her new etching - the less than poetic slogan 'Thug Life' - inscribed on her knuckles in a fetching pale pink shade.
She tweeted the picture, posing with her fists clenched to show off her bizarre new inking.
The singer wore her hair in natural curls, and wore a black skirt and T-shirt by Amplified at SugarBullets.co.uk for her tattoo session.
Last September, the Only Girl In The World star was pictured blowing kisses to fans on the balcony of her hotel in Brazil having written the words on her hands in a pink Sharpie pen.
But now it seems Rihanna has gone under the needle for the permanent body art, adding the caption: '♫ All these b****es screaming that 2pac back ♫ #THUGLIFE.'
The Brit-winner appears to have taken inspiration from rapper Tupac (2Pac) Shakur's tattoo, who had the same slogan inked across his stomach.
The slain rapper was murdered in 1996, after he was shot four times during a drive-by killing.
Rihanna also posted a separate message on Twitter, saying: 'Tat my f***in name on u girl so I know its real!!! #MINE'
A reference to friend and rapper Drake's (who featured on Rihanna's single We Found love) single Free Spirit, where he namechecks 2Pac’s girlfriend Kidada Jones who had his tattoo on her arm.
She also appeared to have a new marking on her back, as she is pictured lying on the tattoo artist Mark Mahoney's table with a bottle of beer.
The Barbadian beauty paid tribute to him online, adding the caption: 'My boo Mark Mahoney!!!! #RockstarS*** #TATnight'
Mahoney is most known for his black and grey work, and more specifically images of religious icons, bombs, and guns, and has worked on Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
In another snapshot, she cuddled up to Machete actor Danny Trejo, who lifted up his T-shirt to flaunt a large design on his chest of a lady wearing a Sombrero.
Rihanna appears to be missing the attention of adoring fans since finishing her Loud Tour last month, with continuous tweeting of her whereabouts including her post-festive beach holiday.
The 23-year-old is a huge fan of tattoos, with approximately 14 to 15 visible inkings already.
She has a music note on her ankle, a Pisces sign behind her right ear, the word 'love' on her left middle finger and a trail of stars on the back of her neck, alongside the French saying 'Rebelle Fleur' - which means rebellious flower.
