Rihanna flew out tattoo artist BangBang from NYC to LA for a night to give her some new ink however, I doubt she expected him to post the photos of her new tat's to his MySpace page and, cause a bit of controversy.

At first, the photos show Rihanna about to get two guns tattooed on her shoulders however, the caption below the photo shows that CoverGirl might not approve. So, with what I guess was Rihanna's better judgment, she decided to instead have the gun tattoo relocated to her ribcage.

Guns promote violence not peace!

This is the same girl who was just beaten by her boyfriend and, now she is getting tattoos of guns on her body? I think Rhianna might need some help, this is totally the wrong message to send!

Some say the tattoo might be a message of strength and whatnot but, I think its really tacky! Thoughts?!
