Ouch! Rihanna Goes Through A Very Painful Procedure To Get New Traditional Maori Tattoo (PHOTOS)

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.
The process was so painful though Rihanna does her best to remain composed as the tattooist uses a paper towel to wipe off the blood from her hand.
Luckily Rihanna has already completed the New Zealand leg of her world tour, as it’s pretty clear that her hand will take some time to heal.
See the result of the painful procedure after the cut...
