    Bang Bang, who tattooed RiRi on her right ankle, has also worked with Cara Delevingne, Miley Cyrus, and Lady Gaga.

    While inside the tattoo shop, RiRi was also hanging out with rapper Travis Scott.

    RiRi's many tattoos include a tribal print covering her entire right hand she had done in 2013 and a large tattoo under breast, of an Egyptian goddess, which she got to tribute her late grandmother, Dolly.

    Nice anklets Ri.

    Aside from getting a new tattoo, Ri's new love fling comes in the shape of a fellow tattoed buddy, British Formula One driver, Lewis Hamilton.

    Earlier this week they were spotted having dinner together in New York and now they're chilling on the same yacht.

    They're having a whale of a time in Barbados and according to sources RiRi is really "falling" for the Mercedes driver, who is currently on a break before he hits the track again for the Belgium Grand Prix next weekend.

    This one has extra sentimental value. Emma Stone got this tattoo to celebrate her mum beating cancer. It was also designed by Sir Paul McCartney himself. The design includes two black birds, which represent both her and her mum and stem from their favourite Beatles song, Blackbird.

    Aside from it being huge and under her boobs - this piece of permanent body art, represends a goddess and is in memory of her late grandmother. RiRi said: "Goddess Isis - Complete Woman - Model for future generations #GRANGRANDOLLY - always in and on my heart." Lovely and sentimental.

    Lana Del Rey11 of 17

    Lana Del Rey

    On her right hand she has the words 'Trust no one' and on the other, the word 'Paradise'. Independent, strong, but maybe trust some people though, eh Lana?

    Jessie J12 of 17

    Jessie J

    On her right wrist Jessie has 'Stand Up' inked with a heart. We're guessing it's something to do about standing up for what you believe/stand up and be stronge/when you're knocked down stand back up again? Either way, we like.

    Adele14 of 17

    Adele

    Another mum-related tattoo here - but who doesn't love their mum? Adele has 'One Penny' tattooed on her wrist. The singer's mum's name is Penny, so it must be because of that. Aww.

    Sienna Miller15 of 17

    Sienna Miller

    Sienna's permanent red carpet accessory comes in the shape of three little stars on her right shoulder. They are said to symbolise love, honour and trust.

    Lady GaGa16 of 17

    Lady GaGa

    'Born This Way' is a dead giveaway and totally describes Lady GaGa. We're translating this as; celebrate who you are and don't worry about who's watching.
