What do you get when you mix two party girls, alcohol, a creative idea and a tattoo parlor? Unoriginal copies of Rihanna's tattoos! Lindsay Lohan and Lily Allen stepped out on the town a while back with matching tattoos on their index fingers that read Shhh…. While this may have at first seemed like a cute and clever (and useful) tattoo design to other people, it's obvious that the fingers tats are exact copies of the infamous Shhh… Rihanna tattoo. Read on to learn more about what celebrities have inked their own versions of Rihanna tattoos.
Plenty of wanna-be rock stars have copped Rihanna's one-of-a-kind style, edgy haircuts and take-no-bullshit attitude. But not many people have made an attempt to copy the most creative of Rihanna's tattoos…except for Lindsay Lohan and Lily Allen, that is. After one of many long nights of partying, the troubled actress and British singer hit up an L.A. tattoo parlor at 2am and emerged with their own copies of Rihanna's Shhh… tattoo on their fingers. Not just similar tattoos people, the exact. same. tattoo. in the exact. same. spot. That's just plain old copying!
Lohan and Allen's Worst-Kept Secret
Back in June 2008, Rihanna hit up her favorite tattoo artist, Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy, and asked him to scrawl a couple words across her middle and index fingers. Knowing a little bit about Rihanna's style, she probably thought the Shhh… tat would come in handy in day-to-day interactions with people she didn't feel like listening to. Little did the pop superstar know, the Rihanna tattoos on her fingers would become a huge hit that other celebrities wanted to copy. She should have known that nothing stays unique for long. Less than a year later, Lohan and Allen debuted exact replicas of Rihanna's tattoo inked on the same fingers, courtesy of Shamrock Tattoos in West Hollywood.
Shhh… We Copied Rihanna's Tattoo!
Rihanna was one of the first stars to get a tattoo inked on the inside of her finger – which she claims was extremely painful – and the unique location has apparently been a big hit. Since the Shhh… tat and the Love Rihanna tattoo on her fingers hit the web, other celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato have put their own spin on the finger tat idea, getting words and symbols representing peace, love, equality, karma, and more. Even though Miley Cyrus may have gone a little overboard with the finger tattoo thing, you gotta give the girl credit for finding a permanent and unique way to express what she believes in. Lily Allen and Lindsay Lohan, however, just flat out copied the Shhh… Rihanna tattoo. We've got to ask girls, what gives?!
