“Al Hurria fi Al Maseeh” which translates into “Freedom in God” is on RiRi’s ribcage and is rarely ever seen. Something tells us this one is pretty special.

Maybe a coincidence or planned, but Rihanna got her star tattoo on the back of her neck around the same time her ex Chris Brown got his star tattoo. Judging from their similar tattoos the two were very much in love at the time.

“I always wanted one. It represents strength and love,” Rihanna revealed of the exotic-looking tat she got while in New Zealand during her tour. “It’s their traditional way of tattooing,” she said of the Maori-inspired geometric design.

Gun Tattoo

Rihanna Gun

While there was much talk about Rihanna’s physically abusive relationship with Chris Brown, she decided to live on the edge and get herself a handgun tattoo. The tat coincidentally went with the theme of her “Rated R” album, which included somewhat violent singles like “G4L” and “Russian Roulette.”

Never A Failure

Rihanna Never A Failure

After opening up publicly about her abusive relationship with ex Chris Brown, the pop diva inked her own personal motto “Never a failure, always a lesson” backwards near her right shoulder. That way she can read it in the mirror to herself.

Reb’l Fleur

Rihanna Rebl Fleur

Reb’l Fleur is the first fragrance from Rihanna and she followed up that venture with a tattoo that reads “rebelle fleur” which translates to rebel flower. The tat was done in New York City at Eastside Ink.
