As if her recent run in with, and consequent return to, a violent boyfriend wasn’t enough for singer Rihanna, she has now further endorsed violence by having a gun tattooed on her upper body.

At a time when gun violence in the USA is rife, the dim witted Umbrella singer further shows her stupidity by glamorizing guns having one etched on her skin by a tattoo artist called BangBang. Now there’s a clue to exactly what his thoughts on guns might be!

During a period when Rihanna is said to be keeping a low profile and in the belief that having the gun placed in a ‘less conspicuous’ area of her body than the tattoo artist suggested makes it more acceptable, Rihanna, 21, continues to be the spokesperson for the makeup company, Covergirl. But is it really the image the company wants to project? The tattoo may be hidden from view in commercials and in photo shoots but we will all be well aware of the impression that lurks beneath!

The girlfriend of R&B singer Chris Brown, has frequently been seen wearing, of all things, a gun pendant around her neck, which has caused controversy in the past but this time she may well have overstepped the bounds of decency with the gun tattoo and she may too see her career taking a huge dip if she continues to flaunt her obvious interest in the gun culture of America.

Rihanna’s boyfriend, Brown will be back in court for an arraignment on April 6^th 2009 and legal experts have claimed that the case against the 19 year old could hinge on his girlfriend’s co-operation to which her spokesperson has previously insisted that she will ‘do everything that the law requires her to do’.
