Rihanna Debuts Massive Scribble Tattoo Designed by Her 3 Kids

Published: May 09 2026

Rihanna's three little ones are fast becoming budding artists, and their creative prowess is truly inspiring. The "Love on the Brain" singer, who shares sons Rza (3) and Riot (2), as well as daughter Rocki (7 months), with A$AP Rocky, recently had her kids' artwork inked on her left leg by the renowned celebrity tattoo artist, Bang Bang. The impressive body art, a massive scribble with varying line thicknesses, was "designed by her babies," as noted by Bang Bang (real name Keith McCurdy) on Instagram alongside footage of the tattooing process.

While the original drawing was done in colorful markers and adorned with Paw Patrol stickers, Rihanna opted for a minimalist approach, choosing an all-black tattoo. In one video, the 38-year-old joked about the "torture" she endured in the tattoo shop, while in another clip, she emphasized the importance of her appearance in the main shots, saying, "Make sure my a-- looks good."

Bang Bang has tattooed Rihanna numerous times before, most notably adding a Henna-inspired design to her right hand, which complemented an existing Maori tattoo the Fenty Beauty founder got in 2013. But Rihanna's children's artistic talents extend beyond just tattoo designs. According to the nine-time Grammy winner, they're also budding musicians.

"Both of them love music," she said of her sons in a 2025 interview with E! News, adding that the boys "love instruments." "I don't know who they get it from more. I'm like, 'Is that me or is that you, Rocky?'" Rihanna continued. "Riot, he likes to freestyle. So, that's definitely a Rocky thing."

In fact, Riot is quite talkative in general. "Rza don't be talking. That's Riot," A$AP Rocky, who's been dating Rihanna since 2019, told Esquire in January. "He can't stop running his mouth."

But that's not to say Rza is the shy one of the family. "Rza used to bully the s--t out of Riot when Riot couldn't walk and talk," the "Sundress" rapper added. "Now Riot goes and takes that boy's book from him, takes his pacifier."
