Always up for a new challenge, Rihanna decided to get a tattoo using an ancient.

While in New Zealand for her Diamonds world tour, the "Rude Boy" hitmaker stopped by Moko Ink studio in West Auckland to get body art on her hand, using ink pigment applied with a mallet and a chisel.

A crew member managed to get the footage of the entire procedure and posted the video on Wednesday (October 9). It features RiRi remaining calm considering the painful circumstance.

In order to complete the tattoo, one of the artists handles the mallet while the other applies the chisel. The design of unique symbols starts from Rihanna's fingertips and continues down her forearm.
