While in London yesterday for her upcoming performance at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Paralympic Games, Rihanna was seen leaving a tattoo parlor after copping more ink on her midsection.  See the pics inside....

Pop star Rihanna may have added to her collection of body art as she was spotted leaving a tattoo parlor in London's Soho neighborhood last night.  Bandages emerged from her abdomen area as she headed for her car.  According to Rihanna Daily, a fan outside asked what the tatt was about.  Her response was that it's for her late grandmother.

“Rib cage! Got it for my guardian angel Dolly.”

She also took time to greet the fans.

The "We FOund Love" chick later arrived at her hotel with a pizza box as she gets rested for her "Princess of China" performance with Coldplay at Stratford’s Olympic Stadium today.:

Sources say Rihanna missed rehearsals yesterday as she arrived on a late flight from LA and some VMA afterparties.

Rapper Jay-Z, who is besties with Coldplay's Chris Martin, is also expected to hit the stage today.
