Rihanna’s New Tattoo: Why Her Kids’ Doodle Is Breaking the Internet—and What It Means for Your Own Creative Self-Care Routine

So, here’s a wild question for you: what’s the coolest way to celebrate Mother’s Day if you’re Rihanna? While most of us might frame a scribbled drawing or toss it on the fridge, RiRi took it up a notch — permanently. Yep, she got a tattoo of one of her toddler’s wobbly masterpieces inked onto her leg. Talk about turning those precious little scribbles into a lifelong badge of honor! I’ve gotta say, in a world where everyone’s rushing to post perfect moments online, this feels genuinely raw and heartfelt — and beyond that, as a longtime marketer and fitness nut, it’s proof that personal branding goes way deeper than the surface. Now that’s dedication — both as a mom and a mogul. Ready to see what all the fuss is about? LEARN MORE

Ahead of Mother’s Day, Rihanna is celebrating being a mom in the sweetest way: by getting a tattoo in honor of her three children: RZA, 3, Riot, 2, and baby Rocki. While many parents put their little kids’ scribble art up on the fridge, Rihanna went a step further and got one of her toddlers’ wobbly drawings tattooed onto her leg.

In videos shared on Instagram by famed New York City tattoo studio Bang Bang NYC, the superstar is seen getting the scribble art etched onto the back of one of her thighs. “Family tats @badgalriri Designed by her babies ♥️” the post caption reads. “Designed” may be a strong word, but it really is the cutest little scribble. (While the kids drew it in colors, Rihanna got it in black ink.)

One clip, seemingly taken by A$AP Rocky, sees Rihanna sitting on the tattoo table, feeling nervous about getting the ink. While they’re not all super visible, the Fenty Beauty founder actually has around 25 tattoos, and many of them are courtesy of celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang. This one, though, is extra special.

We don’t know if Rocky has any tats dedicated to his kids, but he did recently debut a bubblegum-pink Chanel bag accessorized with his baby daughter’s ballerina slippers, which acted as bag charms. (Rocki was born last September.)

Now these are cool parents.

As we look ahead to the possible activities we can partake in this weekend to properly ring in Mother’s Day, good luck beating Rihanna!
