Recently, we saw photos of Rihanna getting tattooing lessons at East Side Ink in New York City where she was seen working on the tattoo artists. However, this has now caused the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to launch an investigation into the situation.
The department told MTV News yesterday, "Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City’s Health Code. We are sending someone to follow up on this."
Rihanna is currently in trouble for tattooing someone without a license. She could face fines including $300 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third offense. Not only might Rihanna be facing some legal issues but the tattoo parlor, East Side Ink could also be encountering some issues.
Yadira, who owns the place, said that Ri-Ri hadn’t entered the parlor in hopes of inking some tats but rather was just there having fun when one thing led to another. She reportedly inked three tattoo artists including BangBang who often provides her with her own tattoos.
Yadira says Rihanna was there with friends and a bodyguard for “a few hours, just hanging out and joking. We had a blast. It was so funny and cute."
Yikes! This has got to be one of the worst years Rihanna has had. What next? She’s going to get in trouble for Jaywalking?! With her luck, it very well could happen!
