Rihanna Takes a Lesson in Ink

While most celebrities look to fashion design or endorsements to supplement their already-exorbitant income, Rihanna is looking to become a tattoo artist.

The “Take a Bow” songstress was spotted at East Side Ink in New York City’s East Village last night (July 1) taking a lesson in tattooing and having a marvelous time.

Ri-Ri sported a sexy black dress with black suede boots as she was instructed on the finer points of the art of tattoo, watching every move very carefully.

And once she was finished with her lesson, Rihanna emerged to find a few paparazzi waiting for her to see how things went.
