Word has it those little inky pet projects Rihanna had going on last night may cause her to be wanted by the cops. NYPD is investigating the situation and may end up fining her as much as $300 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third. She tatted up 3 people last night with umbrellas and R’s. Too bad it was illegal because she’s not licensed to do so. According to the NY Law Department:
“Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City’s Health Code. We are sending someone down to follow up on this.”
Womp womp.
And word hit the net that Officer Ricky Ross may have been arrested today by one of his former co-workers cops in Ft. Lauderdale. But after sources checked with the police department, nobody by his government name William Leonard Roberts II had been taken in. Story’s still developing, but it looks like it was all just a rumor. Somewhere 50 Cent is annoyed…

FIRST!!!! yes!!!!
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:00 PM
I dont think its all that serious. If they didnt mind her inking them up. What all the fuss about???
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:03 PM

I hope she tattoos better than she sings… pretty girl, not so great voice.
Yeah, she should be fined. She probably doesn’t even know how to use the equipment, the required hygiene, etc. Just because a few idiots let her ink them doesn’t mean she shouldn’t face the consequences.
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:06 PM
I knew as soon as I saw the pics of her doing tatts with no license there was going to be trouble….
What’s the charge Rick Ross?? Aggravated ugliness??
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:07 PM
Poor Rih. Oh well…….better luck next time.
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:09 PM
TMZ are the only ones who posted about this first…they are trying to get Rih in trouble.
Rihanna will not get in any trouble, you will see… TMZ are just trying to start mess! Leave her alone.
One controversy after another… just stay home or stay in a studio Rih :-(
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:09 PM
THIS PIC LOOK LIKE IT WAS TAKIN IN A CLOSET! FREAKIN LOSERS!
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:10 PM
Rihanna needs to find something constructive to do with her time. Maybe read a book or two.
Rick Ross..SMH!
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:10 PM
I agree. Rihanna can’t sing to save her life, but she is pretty. Except for that big forehead.
If it were a regular person, people would trip. But since it’s Rihanna, it’s no big thing. She should still have to deal with the consequences.
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:11 PM
Who the hell cares?! If they let her give them tats then so be it. A bitch can catch a break.
Its never that serious.
Her shoes cost more than those fines. Next!
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:21 PM
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO? SLOW DAY TODAY HUH?
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:24 PM
It was pretty obvious this was coming, and kind of dumb for the shop to let her do it… wonder if they will get in any trouble for allowing an improperly trained tattoo artist administer tattoos without a license?
Also, can we get her on charges of administering music without an ounce of talent too? Just wondering
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:25 PM
NYPD probably does not have anything to do.
i am sure a murder or robbery happened last night in new york city. but NYPD worried about rihanna giving tattoos to the tattoo artists? LOL. rihrih is really important.
i agree, jjj. she should stay in the studio or stay home.
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:27 PM
BULLSHIT…GO RIRI
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:28 PM
Omg thats dumb leave the girl aloooooneee damn NEXT
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:28 PM
Did you call the cops
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:29 PM
ri ri really needs to find better ways to occupy her time, true, but the nyc law dept damn sure has more important priorities for valuable city resources than prosecuting ri ri for her this foolishness.
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:31 PM
Kudos to NYPD for even issuing a press release about this ish…Welcome to NY, where we crack down on illegal tattoo artists! *blank stare*
Hey, here’s an idea, try cracking down on ILLEGALS period and then go to FL, TX, and CA.
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:34 PM
WTF…RIHANNA I HOPE YOUR LAUGHING
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:37 PM
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:41 PM
LET ME YELL THIS LOUD AND CLEAR…IT IS NOT ILLEGAL IF SHE IS DOING THIS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A LICENSE ARTIST (EXAMPLE IN A TRAINING OR SCHOOL SETTING) HOW ELSE DOES ONE GET LICENSED IF SOMEONE DOESN’T TEACH THEM. RI MAY NOT BE AFTER HER LICENSE BUT THIS IS OK PEOPLE. TASHA WHATS THE UPDATE ON MJ…A BIT MORE NEWS WORTHY I THINK. F**K WITH DEM HEAD RIHANNA
Thu, July 2, 2009 6:41 PM
I too am sure the cops have more pressing issues, but next time my dear, if u wanna tatt fools up, get licensed. She’s not doing anything else, y not get a license?

Rhianna is a pretty girl, looks like she’s just having some fun.. no harm in that right?… That’s considered a crime in the Big Apple??? SMH wow.. I thought New York was more gangsta than that.. guess I better stay on the west coast.
And.. Ricky ross, I don’t think that’s true because fellow officers usually protect their own
And 50 needs to go make some real music and stay off Rick Ross di*k.. he is such an obsessed fan slash stalker…scary***shivers***
Thu, July 2, 2009 7:19 PM
LMAO on yoour comment about getting her on charges for no talent, if only that was possible lol
Thu, July 2, 2009 7:20 PM
Can we have some MJ updates please?
Thu, July 2, 2009 7:23 PM
Why is that rappers have either the most formal or funny real names…hehe. Your wrong for scratching out former co-workers for cops but I love it. I don’t really care for Ric Ross…so next.
Who are the stupid people that let Rihanna tattoo them in the first place. Celeb or not, she would have not touch or ink my body up, period. But Riri is racking up the fines these days, first being sued by letting her guest ride on other people lawns, now this…SMH
Thu, July 2, 2009 7:27 PM
WOMP WOMP… IS THAT THE YBF’S WAY OF SAYING “I’M SO HAPPY RIHANNA MAY GET IN TROUBLE” WTF…NEXT
PS. RIHANNA THEY CAN’T KEEP UP WITH U AH MUM!!!
Thu, July 2, 2009 7:32 PM
I the hell care! Poor Rihanna my ass. Her ass is doing something that requires a license in the STATE of NY. You silly bitches don’t know what the hell she has or what the hygienic conditions were, if she went to deep or anything else that could have happened, just because she’s a celebrity. F^k yeah, she needs to face whatever consequences the common man would. The b*tch is not even a citizen which is even worse. Deport the b*tch! Stupid asses.
Thu, July 2, 2009 7:40 PM
You would think that the NYPD would have better things to do with their time like… umm i don’t know solving murders and stopping crime.. just a thought.
Thu, July 2, 2009 7:47 PM
Too funny!
Thu, July 2, 2009 8:08 PM
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! THIS IS HILARIOUS…….HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET! YOU KNOW THAT PEOPLE FOLLOW YOU AND TAKE PICS OF YOU. WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL? AND DEPENDING WHAT HER VISA OR GREEN-CARD SITUATION IS SHE CAN BE DEPORTED. IF YOU HAVE A VISA I THINK THAT IT’S YOU CAN’T SPEND MORE THEN A WHOLE YEAR, 365 DAYS, IN JAIL OR YOU WILL BE DEPORTED AND YOU CAN’T APLLY FOR A VISA OR GREEN-CARD EVER AGAIN BUT YOU CAN COME BACK AND VISIT THE CONTRY.
Thu, July 2, 2009 8:15 PM

Thu, July 2, 2009 8:21 PM
okay people are so sneaky and mean because they obviously reported her!
Thu, July 2, 2009 8:22 PM
AFTER THE BET AWARDS PERFORMANCE – Beyonce can kiss her career goodbye. She sounded like a dog and looked like a whore. Rihanna take over please. Keri was right when she said Beyonce need to sit down she fading, she need to go have some babies!
Beyonce post don’t get as nearly comments as Rihanna does now. Dry hair bamma azz winch!
Thu, July 2, 2009 8:42 PM
LMAO… SMH
Thu, July 2, 2009 8:43 PM
DON’T HATE ON BEYONCE CUZ RIHANNA IS OUT DOING DUMB SHIT THATS GONNA GET HER IN TROUBLE…
Thu, July 2, 2009 9:08 PM
aint it i hate when people do that in general and i am not a bee fan or rih rih stan because they aint payin my bills but thats kinda childish to bring up beyonce situation and they talkin bout rihanna
Thu, July 2, 2009 9:11 PM
Rihanna’s fine cost less than her shoes…LOL! She can pay that with noooooo problem… but I hope she doesn’t pay a cent, because this is foolishness and people should back off and leave her alone.
This is stupid.. I seriously believe that this will blow over and nothing will happen to Rih, she won’t pay anything.
Thu, July 2, 2009 9:17 PM
I agree that Beyonce should have reconsidered her wardrobe choice, but I thought she sounded good on the Sarah McLachlan song. Keri Hilson’s insults were pathetic attempts to stir up publicity for her album. I’m kinda diggin her right now — she’s different — but you need to establish YOURSELF (beyond singing a hook for Timbaland) before you go at someone with an established career.
Rihanna is the queen of the download… but look at how long it took for her to go platinum on a RE-RELEASED album… and even then, she owes a lot more to the beat makers than to a voice that sounds like some ghetto, out of tune bagpipes.

Thu, July 2, 2009 9:54 PM
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! jealous much? if i didn’t know better i’d think this hate was beyonce type hate but i doubt that it’s her cuz i think even she has better things to do with her time….
Thu, July 2, 2009 10:33 PM

THIS IS WHAT THE OWNER HAD TO SAY:
The sexy singer had shown up around 8pm on Wednesday to visit her regular tattooist, who goes by the name of Bang Bang and is responsible for both recent gun tattoos and the “sssh” ink on her finger.
According to those at the high-end tattoo parlor, Rihanna was not planning on getting any new ink.
“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.”
So he drew up a design — a simple umbrella with a swirly “R” under it — which was then transferred onto his lower leg. Rihanna, who had never tattooed anyone before, then went over the design with the needle.
Then two other artists, Josh Lord and Patrick Conlon, decided they wanted some Rihanna body art too, so they each got tatts, which were numbered “2″ and “3″ by the songstress in the order they were completed.
“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.”
It took RiRi about about 15 minutes to complete each tattoo, and she eventually left East Side around 11pm.
“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.”
So can anyone just walk in and start tattoing people willy-nilly?
“They can’t,” says Josh. “Only her. We couldn’t say no to her.”
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.”
Though he did admit that Rihanna got progressively better as she practiced.
“[Bang Bang] went first. And let’s put it this way, each one was better than the last,” he said, adding, “I’d hire her. If her career doesn’t work out, she’s got a back-up.”
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.”
Thu, July 2, 2009 11:43 PM
Rhianna needs to either go to college or get a part time job. She has way too much time on her hands. Its one dumb move to the next. She is in desperate need of guidance. Where are her parents?
Thu, July 2, 2009 11:44 PM
the amount of crime thats in new york they find the need to ‘investigate’ on rihanna tattooing couple friends?? jeez.. get a lifeeee. i guess anything for a story these days
Thu, July 2, 2009 11:44 PM
Kiss Rihanna’s ass much? I gave credit where it was due. I like Keri Hilson, Rihanna is a pretty girl, the beats are not — but a vocalist Rihanna is not, and I don’t think Keri needed to be a NEW artist coming at an ESTABLISHED artist on the first album… which she later backed down from. (If you wanna talk shit, stand by it!)
Beyonce ain’t perfect, either… but I don’t know why posters need to bring one artist into a comment when it’s about the other, and it goes both ways.
Thu, July 2, 2009 11:48 PM
So, She’s above the law coz she a celebrity? (that was not the case for breezy)
If she gets busted for doing some illegal dumshit, then the cops, Tasha and Beyonce stans are just hating on her?
Biatch please!
She fukked up thinking she hollywood and above the law. Publicizing your criminal acts will only get you into one predicament. She does not get a pass and the NYPD need the any chedder they can get. Make it easy for them to bust you and you know the rest…
Nobody is hating. She messed up. Putting needles in the hands of ametures to pierce on others and publicizing about it so that every damn kid can now think they get a pass to tatoo each damn other is DEAD WRONG.
They have to get that point across by fining her. She lucky it’s just small change she paying.
Thu, July 2, 2009 11:59 PM
um, go youtube beyonce live videos, then google rhi’s……need i say more??? bey iz the best!!! sorry :sorry:
p.s. u sound s00000 jealous,sad
Fri, July 3, 2009 2:59 AM
THERE IS A VIDEO ON TMZ..JUST HIT RIHANNA AFTER GOOGLING..TATTOING WAS NOT THE ONLY THING SHE DID. THERE WERE A LOT OF LAUGHTER, TAKING PICS AND SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS. RIR CAN SCRIBBLE ON ME ANYTIME
Fri, July 3, 2009 3:05 AM
let me yell this out loud…IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO TATTOO ANYONE IF IT IS DONE UNDER SUPERVISION OF A LICENCE ARTIST EG. IN A SCHOOL SETTING OR FOR TRAINING PURPOSES…HOW ELSE DOES ANYONE BECOME LICENSE IF SOMEONE DOES NOT TRAIN THEM FIRST. ON TMZ THE PAPARAZZI ASK RIHANNA “WAS IT GOOD, DO YOU HAVE A LICENCE’, HER REPLY…”THIS WAS MY FIRST LESSON” IT’S LIKE RELAXING YOUR HAIR AT HOME WITH YOUR GIRLFRIENDS BUT NO ONE HAS A LICENCE…NEXT
Fri, July 3, 2009 3:09 AM
RiRi is good at lying to the PoPo. Tell them it was not you RiRi it was your look alike. You did not go out at all that night, you sent your double. You were at home with your girl Melissa, she can vouch for you.
Fri, July 3, 2009 3:17 AM
Rihanna is so cute…she takes so many chances and usually gets away with it…it’s called being pretty people. but don’t try that at home folks we are not as pretty as rihanna and we will pay the penalty. rihanna u the shit girl
Fri, July 3, 2009 5:40 AM
this is too funny..rihanna got put on blast for being dumb..
Best caption of the year by TMZ” THINK BEFORE YOU INK”..
LMABOOOO…EVEN CUTE FACE CANT SAVE THAT….ITS JUST TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!
Fri, July 3, 2009 5:55 AM
I too PLAYED dumb and got everything I want not to mention my own way…Rihanna know the game more than you think…you go boo. THINK BEFORE YOU INK…only riri could create such captions, no one else takes the chances she takes..be it fashion, style, etc and etc
Fri, July 3, 2009 12:33 PM
I’m really becoming tired of this whole Rick Ross was a cop BS. Why is that he is ridiculed for being a cop while others are praised for being former(some potentially presently) drug dealers, pimps and hustlers. I think we need to start re-evaluating what we see as positive images in our community and those that we see as negative. Me personally, I’d rather give the cop props.
Fri, July 3, 2009 9:42 PM
don’t know if anybody really cares but ricky ross was on the same plane as me this morning leavin ft lauderdale at 830 am so he didn’t get taken in if he was arrested at the airport…they let his a*s go
