(Newser) – Rihanna, often seen with a gun pendant around her neck, has decided to add a gun to the assemblage of tattoos on her body. This one graces her ribcage, safely out of view for her modeling spots. “I really wanted to put it on her arms,” her artist tells Us. “But Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much, and they pay the bills!”

Tattoos are the first sign of an uninteresting, shallow, and dumb person.

I actually felt sorry for this vapid, silly girl. Guns? How completely insipid!

Maybe next time, she'll get a tattoo of a brain.
