OK! Exclusive: Chris Brown Follows in Rihanna’s Tattoo Trail

July 30th, 2009 2:00 pm / Author: Oliver Coleman

rihannachris2On July 1, Rihanna made headlines when she decided she wanted to play tattoo artist and found three willing participants to let her illegally ink their skin. And now, her ex-boyfriend and one-time abuser Chris Brown has not only done the same thing — he’s done it to one of the same people! cb6a

As OK! reported, on a whim while visiting New York’s East Side Ink, Rihanna took a needle to tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy, drawing an umbrella and an “R” — which Bang Bang had sketched — on his leg. On Tuesday night, Chris went one better by drawing his own motif and then inking it onto the veteran artist — who is now believed to be the only man to have a collection of celebrity tattoos.

After Bang Bang pimped Chris’s forearm earlier in the week, the “No Air” star agreed to return the favor by putting a cartoon face on Bang Bang’s leg with the word “Bang” above it. “He drew it,” Bang Bang told OK!, “It’s pretty funny. I told him, ‘Do whatever you want’, and he drew something and I liked it. “He did a great job too. He’s a natural, which is funny because I said the same thing about Rihanna. She was really good the first time, but he was better.”

“He wasn’t nervous at all,” says the artist. “I asked him if he was, and he said, ‘Nope — not at all.’” cb3a But the task required a little sleight of hand. When Rihanna inked him, Bang Bang got in a spot of trouble with the law for breaking a rule that says only licensed artists can tattoo people in New York State. So Chris and Bang Bang had to take a little trip out of state, where it’s legal for anyone to use a needle as long as they’re in a licensed parlor.

“We took a ride in a car to a different state so that he wouldn’t get in trouble,” said Bang Bang. “We drove for a couple of hours to do a five minute tattoo.”

So was it worth all the trouble, and how does it feel to have the artwork of so many famous people indelibly etched on your body? “Awesome! I’m lucky. They’re all really cool and I’ve got a couple of other famous people who are going to tattoo me soon,” said Bang Bang. “I’d like to have all the celebrities I tattoo do a small tattoo on me. I think that would be really cool.”

    • HotTattedBtch says:

      for your info not all tattoos are nasty. if they are in good tast and dont looked fcked up then there sweet. dont judge people just becuz they have tattoos. tattoos are a form of art and my body is the canvas. its my body and i will do what i damn well please with it. and that tat that chris did on bang bang is sweet and one of a kind! and if you really want to get btchy then you can say that the one rihanna did looks like one that my 2 year old could draw as well! anyone can draw a unbrella! yes chris shouldnt have hit rihanna but we also dont know the whole story behind it either and i know he regrets what he did. i mean come on, my bf and i have had our shit out and we are still going strong. things happen that you dont mean to when you get upset! you say and do things you dont mean to when in a argument. such as life. the difference between people with tattoos and people without tattos is that people with tattoos dont judge the people that dont have them. just becuz we have them doesnt mean we are evil or going to rape your kid or rob you. we are just like you are but we express our feelings and whatnot with our skin. i dont regret any of the tattoos i have ( which i have four, two of which are on my lower and upper back) and i plan on getting more. yes i do respect your opinion. you dont have to like tattoos thats not what im saying here. you yourself can not like them but dont down grade other people that have them just becuz you think they are nasty and white trash. if you dont like them fine dont get any. but other people do and that doesnt make them any less than your are.

    Once again, haters posting about how much they hate Chris Brown. Haters, do you know him, have you sat down and had a conversation with him, do you leave on the same street as him? No, how can you hate somebody you don’t know, only what the media tells you, they love people like you, cause you help keep unnecessary gossip going. Do you hate all the other celebs out there that has done made a mistake? If you don’t like him, why do you keep visiting his site. Is it to hide all the things you have done wrong or still doing wrong? Or is it that you don’t have a life and nothing else better to do but hate on Chris Brown. I be so glad when yall move on, get a damn life why don’t you. Keep on pushin Chris, cause the haters have a 24 hour job that they don’t get paid for.

    • Eden Sucks says:

      WTF Does anybody else need to know besides the fact he plead guilty to beating the shit out of a female and leaving her on the side of the street to die for all he knew. He is a piece of shit and so are you! I wish somebody would beat him as bad as he beat her, then maybe after that come after you.

    • cindy says:

      hey chris brown lover. all people got a right to be in the web site like you and everybody else. if you don’t like it oh well move on. everybody got a life. i got a life. but chris brown will always be a woman beater. rihanna can do much better than that. she don’t that punk a$$ little boy in her life.

      • Brown says:

        Who are we to judge what Rhianna should do? Look in the mirror and worry about your life. He has admitted his guilt, apologized, and will receive punishment from a court of law. But, you continue to judge him. Do you really wish that a 20 year boy would die from 1 mistake. Yes, a big mistake and yes he should have known better. But, how many times must he apologize and grovel before you are satisfied. We have people dying everyday, losing their homes and jobs, but you are focused on hating a 20 year boy. It must be wonderful to be perfect without mistakes. Think about it the next time you do something you regret. Should they be together? That is Chris and Rhinna’s decision. No one knows their personal situation. So stop judging them and focus on your life.

  7. Joey says:

    @Eden shut the f’uck up, you poor bast’ard. You are so unorginal, how many people have already used something like that? True, some people don’t know him, but he had NO F’UCKING right to hit Rihanna, and how do you know that it was a ‘mistake’? Clearly the guy doesn’t drink, nor was there any alcohol/drugs at the crime scene. He knew who he was hitting, and it’s common sense that you don’t hit a lady, what if he hit you? Your desperate a’ss would probably go crawling back to him just because you’re a fan, yuck. And I will admit, Rihanna isn’t desperate, but apparently she ‘loves’ that hideous monster, but she us f’ucking stupid for going back with him. And why don’t you follow your own damn advice? You don’t know Chris Brown, or his ‘haters’. And by the way,it’s ‘live’ not ‘leave’, if you’re gonna speak you’re mind, at least have goo grammar, dumb a’ss!

  8. BANG BANG says:

    THANKS OK MAG FOR DOING THIS STORY RIGHT. MY TATTOO ROCKS, AND SO DOES CHRIS! ANYONE THAT ISNT A FAN… GIVE HIM A SHOT, HE’S A GOOD GUY!

  9. goons says:

    love you bang bang..thanks for saying positive things about him.. he is a good guy and i know you say that coz you know what happened..

    people who hate him can go jump..nice tat and you better keep it..love cb forever!!!!!!!yay!1

  10. Anon says:

    There was a reason why the judge made it part of the conditions of his probation that he had to stay at least 50 feet away from her. There was a reason why the court allowed her to record his phone calls and instructed him not to intimidate or coerce or threaten her in any way. Chris has a problem. He doesn’t care about Rihanna. He only cares that he “lost.” He is like a frustrated stalker type. That girl had bodyguards 24/7 and she still probably needs them. And thru it all, she kept her dignity and said nothing. She had every right to cut him to pieces, but she didn’t. She hasn’t trashed him or sent her posse to mess with him and lie on him like he did to her. She has class. That is why Kanye, Usher, and Jay Z and a lot of others are standing by her, not him. Oh, wait. He has Diddy. It’s ashame about Chris. he really has a lot of talent. But he is a pig.

    • goons says:

      i think you are delusional..

      kanye said chris made a mistake and we need to forgive him
      usher and him spent time at baseketball games together and also took his words backafter sayin stuff about him and apologised.
      jayz said chris made mistake and is happy he apologised..he is young he said and people make mistakes..

      i can go on about other celebs who support him..just because their support is not stagged and put in the media like rihannas is does not mean people dnt support him..you act as if you know him but just you know rihanna was the beggin the judge not to put that order in place..go watch the video..

      you say he is stalking her, he stayed at the hotel first in nyc..when he heard she checked in, he checked out..sorry to burst your buble but he is not stalking her and is done with her..people love this boy and have forgiven him..of you cant, that is your problem but he is far from stalking her..

      the only reason why she kepy quit is not coz of her dignity..if she had any she would have gone after the people who released her photo..she knows what happened hence she will never stand for domestic violence..you need to be asking yourself why instead blaming chris for everything!!!!!!

    • Brown says:

      Maybe she has not said anything because she started the situation. It was in her police statement that she hit him while he was driving and started the whole fight. Yes, he should have walked away. But he is 20 and from a violent home. This is no excuse and violence is never the answer. Look at her past statements, she is the one with an admitted violent past. Have you ever heard anything bad about him before this, No? She did not deserve what happened to her, but she is not innocent. Let them both move forward with their lives and hopefully they will both get the help they need. Condeming them is not helping either of them. People are saying they will not support her if she goes back to him, that’s your choice. But, this is ultimately her choice and her life. Not yours, focus on your own life.

      • i love CHRIS says:

        omg this sounds like its chris brown for real……i have never heard anyone say ‘rihanna has previous statements where she got violent’ lmao anyway peoples i LOVE chris brown from the bottom of my heart……we all humans we make mistakes, if GOD can forgive why the hell can’t yall? but i still cant get over how this comment sooooooooo sounds like its breezy who wrote it…specially da bit abt ‘ppl r sayin they will not support her if she gets bak to him? thats our choice? focus on our lives? ‘

        To the haters: We will make sure chris’ comin up album Graffiti sells milli……lets just listen to ur comments right after that coz fo sure there wont be no space for all that bullshit u gotta say……….Chris Brown Any Day ErryDay

  11. gee says:

    chris is cool and hass madd talent yO only one who can imitate mj&elvis like he did on tv!
    he still has madd fans and if you like his songs than you will
    mj lost his fans too no matter what he does his mistake will never be forgiven like
    goshhh. there not together &people make up soooooooo many hypothetical things about their relationship. hes sorry get over it please and thanx
    poor chris rihanna clubs and goes to as many parties as you want and chris cant do shit all cuz of that one night i mean karmas a bitch but dayum i think hell get a lil good from people sometime.like i know u wanna say what if that was your mom but what if that was your brother what would you tell him damn

  12. Chris Brown Sucks says:

    Yeah, Chris Brown rocks….sure, but would you say the same thing if he beat the crap out of your mom/sister/daughter? Helllllll no. So until then, if you’re a \madddd fan\, then I hope you hook up with him and he kicks the shiot out of you…wonder if you’d still be a fan then? Hmm, probably not idiots! You probably grew up in a home that had physical abuse and that is why you tolerate it and accept it. Good luck to your children, becuz they’ll probably just follow the same pattern of abuse. Disgusting!

    • HotTattedBtch says:

      you know people make mistakes. and chris made a big one dont get me wrong but its not like if you walk up to him hes going to just beat the shit out of you i mean come on get some common sence. no one is perfect. unless you think you are god and are perfect within yourself. which would be a whole lot of bull shit. and just because someone is a fan of chris brown doesnt mean they come from a abusive home. grow up you over zelis fucktard

  13. chelsienicole* says:

    @Joey, before you get at Eden for spelling errors maybe you should check what you write =D..its good not goo

    PS. LOVE CHRIS BROWN <3

  14. kanyelover says:

    ok everyone needs to get over the incident… u guys act like u never done anything bad in ur life… GROW UP AND GET OVER IT CUZ WE ALL KNOW RIHANNA DID IF SHE GOT BAC WITH HIM SHORTLY AFTER IT HAPPEND.. anyways i dont even get why this is a story or why its a big deal.. atleast he was smart enough to go sumwhere were it was illega unlike rihanna who took pics while she was tatooing him.. and by the way his is much better… and no im neither a rih fan or chris fan just tellin it like it is

  15. kanyelover says:

    lmao…. yooo im starting to think brown is actualyy chris brown.. but i feel u tho.. i agree 100%.. and no i do not think he is chris just becuz his name is brown

  16. X, Y, and Z says:

    And so with Chris Brown copping to the charge and saving Rhianna from testifying, what ‘message’ does that send to young people? Well, hmm…let’s see:
    1.) It’s ok to search through your boy friend’s cell phone, get jealous and smash him in the face with it, WHILE HE’S DRIVING!
    2.)You don’t have to worry ’bout causing an accident, why? Cause you’re a female, and female’s can’t possibly be expected to control their emotions! Fatality or not, you’re getting a pass! Ain’t it just grand to have a uterus?
    3.) Young men of the world, er..young black men, you needn’t apologize for any of your misgivings or transgressions; why? Well, no matter what, it’d just be never good enough - so just say fu-ck it and keep it moving; fu-ck a contrition!

  22. gaby says:

    its funny everything she has done and every place she has been he as been there and done it…….seems stalkish to me

  23. nick says:

    Ok, so as an advocate for domestic violence victims, I have to say that people have some really old-fashioned beliefs. NOBODY should hit ANYBODY, it shouldn’t be restricted to males not hitting females. Guess what? Men can be abused, too. People assume that a man is stronger and therefore can cause more harm, but that is just an ignorant belief. Women can be just as vicious. Also, abuse is not restricted to physical altercations. It can be mental and emotional and verbal as well……financial and social, too. I think a lot of females are abusive towards their boyfriends/husbands because they’re playing into the whole idea that “men shouldn’t hit females.” Bullshit! If somebody is physically abusing you, you knock the crap out of them and get away, I really don’t care what the gender is. Being a female does not give Rihanna a free pass, because if she hit him first, she should have been aware that he might hit her back. If she didn’t want to get hit, she should not have hit him first, especially while he was driving. This is a messed up situation, but neither one of them is innocent.
