The first post in McCurdy\u2019s carousel featured a selfie-style video of Rihanna, clad in a black hoodie and sunglasses and lying on a table as the tattoo artist got to work on her leg.<\/p>\n

Another video showed the finished product alongside the reference artwork, which was created on a white piece of paper adorned with Paw Patrol stickers.<\/p>\n

The mom of three \u2014 who shares sons RZA, 3, and Riot, 2,<\/a> and daughter Rocki, 8 months with A$AP Rocky \u2014 checked out the final result in a snapshot of her standing on her tiptoes to see the tattoo in a mirror.<\/p>\n

The kids\u2019 scribbles had been meticulously recreated on Rih\u2019s leg to appear as if they had drawn them directly on the back of her knee.<\/p>\n

Fans were thrilled with the result, with many taking to the comments section to gush over the singer\u2019s heartwarming choice of ink.<\/p>\n

Rihanna, 38, has over two dozen tattoos, and McCurdy has famously inked many of them.<\/p>\n

Among many others, the pop star boasts a Pisces symbol behind her right ear, a star outline on her left ear, a Sanskrit prayer on her right hip and cascading stars falling from the back of her neck to her spine.<\/p>\n

She also has her birth year, 1988, on her right ankle, as well as an expansive image of the Goddess Isis prominently displayed on her ribcage. <\/p>\n

The hitmaker notably had \u201cnever a failure, always a lesson\u201d written backwards on her collarbone, so she could read it while standing in front of a mirror.<\/p>\n

In 2018, McCurdy told Page Six that the iconic singer<\/a> once cried in pain while having an Egyptian falcon tattooed on her ankle. Though the artist noted how painful the foot area can be for tattoos, he shared that the singer \u201cthugged up\u201d and did it anyway.<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s latest ink comes days after she appeared on the red carpet at the Met Gala<\/a>, rocking an eye-catching metallic Maison Margiela gown for the\u00a0\u201cCostume Art\u201d theme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She paired a jewel-studded bodice with an iridescent silver skirt and matching shawl for the event, applying jewels to her hair and face to complete the elaborate look.<\/p>\n

A$AP Rocky, 37, accompanied her in a pink Chanel smoking jacket.<\/p>\n
