Is she biting on that finger out of pain? (

Rihanna has had another tattoo and this time it's on her neck.

A part of the body that's pretty near the face so we can imagine that was a bit scary getting done.

And if it looks all red and painful and stuff, that's only cos she's just had it done.

That swelling will go down. Hopefully.

Rihanna went to her good friend and long time tattoo designer Bang Bang for the ink work, which coincided with the tattooist opening his new store.

"We did a very fine small cross directly on her collarbone. She said her cross meant a lot to her and she totally loved it!" said Bang Bang.

That's lucky cos they do last forever these things.

Rihanna also used the opportunity to show off her other tattoo on her finger which reads 'Sssh'. Which is ironic considering her new album's called Talk That Talk.

We're not sure if Rihanna's decision to get a cross is some kind of religious statement.

In 2007 Rihanna had a Sanskrit prayer written down her right hip that would say 'Forgiveness, Honesty, Suppression and Control', but unfortunately it was misspelled.

You can't misspell a cross though.

So that's good.
