    The "Good Girl Gone Bad" singer made her Twitter announcement with a quote from the chorus of Meek Mill's song "Tupac Back." "All these b*tches screaming that 2pac back," she wrote on her page on the social networking site.

    "I #LOVE my new tattoo!!!," she added. "Can't wait for yall to se it!!! I got it in "Tibetan" this time!!!"

    TupacRihanna's shocking new tattoo prompted Thug Life to become a trending topic on Twitter.

    In the picture posted on Lockerz, Rihanna shows off the artwork on her knuckles. Her hair is poufy and curly and she's wearing a John Lennon t-shirt. Rihanna also tweeted a picture with gangsta villain actor Danny Trejo, who she saw in the tattoo parlor.

    Thug Life is also the name of a rap group formed by Tupac. The members included Tupac's stepbrother Mopreme Shakur, Rated R, Big Syke, and Macadoshis. Their 1994 album, "Thug Life: Volume 1," included the single "Pour Out A Little Liquor." The album was certified gold.
