Singer Rihanna got her first tattoo in 2006 --- an image of 2 musical notes, which was covered up later on with an Egyptian falcon. Since then, her tattoo collection grew all over her body. She has more than 15 tattoos to date. "I like hanging out in Tattoo shops", Rihanna points out. Some of her tattoos include a "Shhh" on her index finger, and "Love" on her middle finger, the Egyptian Goddess Isis under her chest, below her breasts, a trail of stars from the back of her neck, a gun under her left armpit, and a Sanskrit inscription which translates to "Forgiveness, Honesty, Suppression & Control" on her right hip, done in 2007.

Her most recent is her hand tattoo, which was a traditional Maori design applied with a hammer & chisel. Rihanna decided to cover it up with a mendhi/henna-inspired design later on by NY-based tattoo artists Keith McCurdy & Cally Jo.
