Lovely lady Rihanna hosted a surprise birthday party for her best friend/assistant Melissa Forde in NYC last night.

Rihanna also used the party as an opportunity to show off her new tattoo, a bunch of little stars trailing down her back.

What do you think of it??

I myself wouldn't want it, but I guess it's kinda creative and different to what most people get done. And at least if she ever grown her hair out again it'll be covered! For now though, I'm loving the funky short hair do.

Rihanna showed off the tat by wearing a black leather mini dress with a low cut back, which looked surprisingly chic.

I don't like the bright blue nail polish though!
