No pain, no gain.

It's been an interesting year for Nicki Minaj. The Queens rapper went under the radar for a few months while she was recording her upcoming album. She finally returned to social media and the public in general when she readied the release of her two singles, "Barbie Tingz" and "Chun-Li." Shortly after, she announced her new album Queen which was initially expected to hit streaming stores this Friday (June 15th) but she's since pushed the album back to August 10th. With a few months to go, she decided to get a new tattoo to commemorate the times from Black Ink Crew Chicago's Ryan and apparently, her threshold for pain is low.

Nicki Minaj got a new tattoo recently from Black Ink Crew Chicago's Ryan and hit Instagram Live to share the moment with her fans. The new tattoo was on her wrist and clearly, it's a sensitive area. She's heard crying in pain while Ryan tattoos her. At one point, she pleads, "No, no please. I can't." However, it seemed to late for her to back down. She's yet to reveal the final product to her fans but we'll have to wait for her to debut it.

Aside from her recent tattoo, Nicki's rolled out a few announcements over the past few days. She debuted her new single, "Rich Sex" with Lil Wayne yesterday. Prior to that, she announced her joint tour with Future. Nicki's getting ready for a major summer ahead of her. Keep your eyes peeled for more news.
