(March 26) - Rihanna has a new pair of guns under her guns these days.

The 'Umbrella' singer had tiny handgun tattoos inked on her ribcage this week, but if she had her way, the lil' firearms would've been front-and-center right below her shoulders. After considering the money she could lose from endorsement deals, the 21-year-old beauty thought better of it. The Sun has a photo of her original plan.

LA-based tattoo artist BangBang did the honors and explained why a more conservative approach was taken: "I really wanted to put it here [on her arms] ... She loved em. But, CoverGirl wouldn't have liked it much ... and they pay the bills!"

Asked by Life&Style about why the singer would choose gun tattoos given the assault charges against Chris Brown, BangBang said:

"If I had to say why she got it, it's because she kicks ass and everybody supports her! She can do whatever she wants," adding, "We didn't talk about why she specifically got it. She's a rock. She's just thinking about having a great time now."

"It took about 15 minutes," to set the ink, BangBang told Life&Style. "She didn't complain while I did the tattoo. We also talked about her getting a skull and crossbones, but she didn't love it."

The singer is slowly inching back into the limelight after an alleged beating at the hands of Brown following a pre-Grammys party in January.
