Police are investigating a NYC tattoo parlor called East Side Ink, because Rihanna decided she wanted to play tattoo artist.

The singer showed 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.

East Side Ink co-owner Yadira spoke with OK!,

“We were all just hanging out, joking, laughing. 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.

Bang Bang sure is a big boy! Who knew that RiRi was such an artist?!
