Video and Photos: Rihanna gets a traditional Maori tattoo

Legendary New Zealand tattoo artist Inia Taylor yesterday shared images of Rihanna getting a permanent traditional Maori tattoo on her right hand. The Maori tattoo is one of the most painful kind of skin marking out there because instead of needle puncture, this one is performed with chisel, ink pigment and mallet...and rather than a smooth surface like modern tattoo would give you, this one leaves the skin with grooves.

She got the tattoos in New Zealand after wrapping up one leg of her world tour. Rihanna seems to like pain, sha! Y'all need to watch the video of her getting the tattoo, painful to watch. See the video and the end result after the cut...

      End time things? Are you naïve or do you just wanna be seen as having left a comment on LIB? From time immemorial, humans have used one sort of tattoo or the other, it's like the tribal marks we Nigerians do too. It's just a form of identification of your roots. Go and do your research before you call tattoos evil. Are tribal marks evil too? I am not for tattoo but I don't condemn it. Maori tattoos have been around since before you were born. And that's a fact.
