She's already amassed a vast collection of inkings throughout her career.

So in order to mark her recent trip to New Zealand, Rihanna decided to get a permanent reminder by having a traditional Maori tattoo inked on her right hand.

While modern tattoos are usually completed using a needle machine, the traditional Ta Moko tattoos use a chisel, ink pigment and a mallet.


Hardcore! Rihanna had a traditional Maori tattoo inked onto her arm with a chisel and mallet during her trip to New Zealand this week 
Painful: Rihanna's swollen, weeping knuckles are seen before the singer uses a paper towel to wipe off the blood from her hand Sticking to traditional: Rihanna had the new inking done at the Moko Ink tattoo studio in west Auckland
