The Insider has the latest...

Now that pictures of Rihanna's new gun tattoo have surfaced, the artist himself is revealing the story behind the ink.

"She had a necklace with a gun, and I love it. I was like, 'How about the gun?'" the artist named BangBang tells Us magazine.

BangBang, who says they had discussed the idea for a year, gives his own interpretation of the design. "It's powerful," he says. "It's protection."

The artist says that the singer was in good spirits when he gave her the tattoo last Thursday. "[She was] as happy as can be," he says. "She's really living her life really well. She's got great friends and great fans."

  • Who the cares if she got a gun tatted... she obviously did it as sum kind of symbol of what happened with her and chris. But, I believe she did something bogus to make chris go off like that. People that are living a perfect live, dont just go off for no ing reason. You guys are crazy for feeling bad for her... Nobody knows the whole true ing story!!!!!! why the would you blame chris when you dont know what happened or why would you defend rihanna if you dont know what happen. all of you people are ing stupid. lay off there drama and focus on ur life. HOLLER
