Police are investigating a tatoo parlor in New York called East Side Ink after Rihanna played “tattoo artist” to severl of the parlor’s employees. Read more on this story below.

Rihanna went to the parlor on Wednesday to see her regular tattoo artist, called Bang Bang. He is the one who did Rihanna’s gun tattoos and the “ssh” on her finger.

Rihanna wasn’t there for new ink though, she was just hanging out.

“We were all just hanging out, joking, laughing,” East Side Ink co-owner Yadira tells OK!. “Bang Bang decided that he wanted a tattoo from her.”

Bang Bang drew up umbrella with a swirly “R”  design, then had Rihanna trace over the design with the needle.

Two other artists, Josh Lord and Patrick Conlon, decided they wanted a tatt from the singer as well.

“We were all talking a laughing the whole time,” says Yadira. “Joking that she was a pro now… She was so sweet, easy-going, down to earth.”

Rihanna left the parlor at around 11 p.m.

“I think it was spontaneous,” Josh, who got the second tattoo, tells OK! about his decision to get inked. “And she was so nice, and so gorgeous and so charmed by her that we wanted one too.”

And, he adds, she did a pretty decent job. “It’s a pretty nerve-wracking thing to do your first time. We were amazed how well she kept her cool… By the third one, she was good.”

And whatever happens with this police investigation, at least he’s got a bit of music history etched into his skin. Says Josh, “It’s definitely one of my new favorites.”
