Rihanna has just added a deeply personal piece to her famous tattoo collection, choosing a design created by her three young children. 

The singer’s go-to tattoo artist, Bang Bang, also known as Keith McCurdy, shared a look at the sentimental new ink on Instagram this Friday, revealing that the Umbrella star had her kids’ scribbles meticulously tattooed onto the back of her knee. 

The artwork was taken directly from a piece of paper decorated with Paw Patrol stickers, which McCurdy used as his reference to recreate the childhood doodles with total precision.

The 38-year-old superstar, who recently welcomed her third child, was seen in social media clips looking relaxed in a black hoodie and sunglasses as McCurdy got to work. 

Rihanna shares her three children, sons RZA and Riot, and eight-month-old daughter Rocki, with her partner A$AP Rocky. 

Fans have already flooded the comments to praise the “heartwarming” choice, with many noting how precious it will be for her to look back on as the children grow up.

This latest addition joins over two dozen tattoos already adorning the singer’s body, many of which McCurdy has personally inked. 

Her collection includes famous pieces like the cascading stars on her neck, an Egyptian falcon on her ankle, and the expansive image of the Goddess Isis on her ribcage. 

She also famously has the phrase “never a failure, always a lesson” written backwards on her collarbone so she can read the motivational reminder whenever she looks in a mirror.

The new tattoo comes just days after Rihanna turned heads at the 2026 Met Gala, where she embraced the “Costume Art” theme in a metallic Maison Margiela gown. 

Hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship has raised the alarm regarding rodent-borne viruses.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has shared key information people should know to protect themselves from the virus.

The global health body shared an explanatory video on X, stating, “Hantaviruses are zoonotic viruses that naturally infect rodents and can occasionally spread to people.”

Here’s what you need to know about Hantavirus:

What is Hantavirus?

Hantaviruses are a group of viruses that naturally infect rodents and can sometimes infect humans. The group of viruses is present in some rodent species across Europe, the Americas and Asia. The disease varies by virus type and location.

How does the Hantavirus spread?

People usually get infected through contact with infected rodents or their urine, droppings or saliva. Limited human-to-human transmission is also possible and has been documented in some outbreaks.

• Fever
• Headache
• Stomach Pain
• Muscle aches

It can also cause severe illness in some rare cases.

How to prevent Hantavirus?

Preventing hantavirus is simple and can be done by

• Keeping living and work spaces clean

• Storing food securely
• Using safe cleaning methods if rodent droppings are present

There is no licensed antiviral treatment or vaccine for hantavirus; however, early intensive and supportive care can make a huge difference in saving lives.
