Rihanna unveils touching tattoo designed by her three children

Rihanna has revealed her latest tattoo: a scribble artwork drawn by her three children.

The musician’s longtime tattoo artist, Keith McCurdy, shared an Instagram post Friday featuring a close-up of the 38-year-old’s new design on the back of her leg, which consisted of a cluster of scribbles.

The original artwork was drawn in colorful markers on a piece of paper and decorated with Paw Patrol stickers.

“Family tats @badgalriri,” the tattoo artist captioned the post. “Designed by her babies.”

Another slide showed the musician before getting the tattoo, being asked if she was nervous. “Yes,” she replied, laughing.

“The torture I’ve endured in this shop,” Rihanna joked in another video. One photo also showed the singer proudly showing off the new ink while standing in front of a mirror.

Fans have been sharing their delight on social media, with one writing on Instagram: “Imagine looking back at it when they will be older…The cutest mom.”

“She’s always so original when it comes to tattoos,” said another. “The most beautiful meaning!!!”

The singer has over two dozen tattoos, and McCurdy has inked many of them. She has her birth year, 1988, on her right ankle, a Pisces symbol behind her right ear and an image of the Goddess Isis prominently displayed on her ribcage.

The hitmaker also has the words “never a failure, always a lesson” written backwards on her collarbone, so she could read it while standing in front of a mirror.

Rihanna shares three children with partner A$AP Rocky: sons RZA, three, and Riot, two, and seven-month-old baby daughter Rocki, who they welcomed in September 2025.

The couple appeared together at the Met Gala Monday, continuing their tradition of arriving fashionably late as the last on the red carpet. The “Umbrella” singer turned heads in a dramatic, sculptural Maison Margiela gown that was adorned with jewel embellishments.

Rocky wore a baby pink Chanel coat adorned with a feathered brooch. He paired the look with a bow tie and loafers.

The pair developed a close friendship in 2012 when they started working together on Rihanna’s Diamond World Tour in 2013, and they made their relationship official years later in 2020.

Rocky gave an insight into their family life during a September interview with Elle, explaining that he and his partner leave their work outside of the home.

“We don’t talk too much about work, because we deal with that all day, every day,” the “Everyday” musician explained. “When you come home, it’s about family. It’s about your relationship. It’s about your household. It ain’t about all that other s***.”

Rihanna expressed her love for motherhood at the time. “Motherhood, wifehood-ish, just being a homebody— I love it,” she told E! News previously. “I love to be a homemaker. I just like to be exciting and celebrate things. I’m trying to build new traditions for our little family that we built.”
