What is it with Rihanna’s obsession with guns?

You would think that someone in an abusive relationship would shun all violent images and icons. The singer, who has often been seen wearing a miniature gun pendant necklace, had the weapon etched across her ribcage.

Rihanna reluctantly got this tiny gun tattoo under her arm…she originally wanted two larger ones on each arm. She wisely decided to go with the smaller, hidden version in case it pissed off the people at Cover Girl and might have put her big money contract in jeopardy

She visited Los Angeles based tattoo artist BangBang, who initially drew two guns on either side of the tops of her arms.

But the singer decided against having the weapons inked on in such a prominent position because of her contract with make-up brand Cover Girl.

BangBang wrote on his website: ‘I really wanted to put it here [on her arms]… She loved ‘em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much… and they pay the bills!’
