Last night Rihanna was spotted in NY at East Side Ink not getting another tattoo but giving one.

She apparently went into the tattoo parlor to visit her friend tattoo artist, BangBang, but she ended up trying her hand artistry herself. BangBang is the one that gave Rihanna her stars,”shhh”, and gun tattoos, which created quite a buzz.

Reports originally surfaced saying that Rihanna was their getting a tattoo lesson and that she was trying it out on BangBang. She started out with just giving him an “R” on his leg. Having too much fun she decided to ink up two other tattoo artists Josh and Patrick.  “Josh Lord got an ‘R’ with ‘2′ on his leg, and Patrick Conlon got an ‘R3′ on his arm,” East Side Ink owner Yadira reported to MTV News. “She hadn’t done that before.”

“We had a blast,” Yadira added. “It was so funny and cute.”

This may have been all fun and games for these folks but the NYC Department of Health is not laughing. The department is saying that “only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City’s Health Code.”

TMZ reported that if the department decides to press charges against the pop star for tattooing someone without a license, she could face three misdemeanors for the offense. And each offense has its penalty with as much as $300 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third offense. Additionally, sources told the Web site that in addition to Rihanna, East Side Ink could be facing fines as well if an investigation is opened.
