We all know
Rihanna loves her tattoos. But she’s caused a little controversy after she was caught illegally tattooing people at a salon in New York.
Last night Rihanna tattooed three people at Upper Side Ink with her signature symbol. Owner Yadira said, "She came by to hang out with us and her regular tattoo artist Bang Bang. He decided he wanted to get a tattoo from her, and then two of the other artists decided they wanted to get one as well."
"She tattooed us for a change. It's a little umbrella with a capital R underneath it. The second and third had a number two and a number three next to it."
But maybe they should have kept that their own little secret, because apparently it’s against the NYC Health Department code. Spokesperson Erin Brady says, "Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City's Health Code.”
But East Side Ink owner Yadira says it's only illegal if she is making a profit. We’re assuming Rihanna didn’t try and make a buck off her subjects.
An NYPD spokesman tells
E! News Someone would have to make a complaint. There's been none that we know of."
RiRi was just trying to express herself! We hope no one would fine her for that!
