Rihanna revealed her new tattoo recently, but what it says is causing people to wonder if she is ok in the head. Pop the top for the details.

Rihanna had the phrase ‘never a failure, always a lesson’ inked backwards on her collarbone. Rihanna got the tattoo in New York City just before leaving for London. The tattooist said Rihanna told him in advance she would want this tattoo done backwards.

Hmmm…

  • LAMEISHA

    lol@ it’s me
    i can dig it tho.
    she wants to be able to see it in the mirror every morning to remind herself that life is full of lessons and its up to us to learn from them… maybe she shouldve used a post-it.

  • !!!!!

    I DONT LIKE ANY OF HER TATTS MINES ARE BETTER LOL.

  • ItIZI

    i hope it says i will stop defacing my body ….enuff already!

  • maria

    I dont know how that makes her crazy, she just wants to remind herself of what her progress in life is suppose to be.You guys dont see the wisdom . That is just too bad

  • Miss♥Grant

    illuminati takes her over SMH

  • Rihanna’s sharp n witchy finger to the oath

    Aleister Crowley urged his followers to read, write, walk, listen to music BACKWARDS. He’s the fat n ugly white guy on the cover of Michael Jackson’s Dangerous album and again the fat n ugly white dude on The Beatle’s Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club album. Jay-z is a fan of Crowley donning his “do what thou whilst” quote on a sweatshirt. These people are satan’s tools and to see people following and not thinking to connect any dots is really sad.

  • dsgsgg

    Rihanna is always trying to hard to be controversial…….SMH

  • chaka1

    i cant those trashy tattoos. she needs to get an education.

  • memchee

    On so many levels, that tat and it’s location is/was unnecessary.

  • chaka1

    i cant stand those trashy tattoos. she needs to get an education.

  • thatruth

    First off… Rihanna is a bad chick!!!the tat is a mirror image of the words never a failure, always a lesson. everytime she looks in the mirror she’s reminded of life’s lessons learned. So all u haters hop the ef off my beotch!!! i give the tat 2 thumbs way up:))

  • JRa

    it was meant for her to read not for the haters

    It sayes objects appear larger than they really are…

  • jake

  • Dirty Diana…Let Me Be ♪

    bad placement

  • taboo

    Of course on your chest because Chris latest tattoo is on his chest. Please stop, both of you. Get therapy so you can both move on. It’s so obvious you are still both following and competing with each other.

  • Sach

    Thats the work of the devil right there! I know i’m sound dramatic, but its true. Y’all need to start believing.

  • http://Bossip wow

    Rihanna tripped,hairstyles change, fashion change, men come and go, the days of the week change,every thing. Nothing is 100% every thing is at least 99.9993%. I don’t think she realized she will be stuck with “him/he” and it’s 100%. As much as she likes to change it up, girls, boys, hair, fashion you stuck with “he” and you 21 damn I hope what they say is not true. I no longer hold the allergations against you but if it is true you bumped up it’s souds 100% no turning back and thats out of this 99.8765% world yeah that is a scary thought

    *““ NEVER A FAILURE ALWAYS A LOSER ““*

  • jjj

    Rihanna can do whatever she wants….it’s her body.

  • Kimmy

    it says. “never a failure always a lesson”

  • TOO SEXY

    NEVER A FAILURE ALWAYS A LOSER’ lol chis tatted something written on his chest and she just had to follow the other day they were both in new york wearing the same necklace on the same day…
    then she doing interview talking about she wants to talk to him..smh why didnt she think of that before 20/20

  • ChichaMami16

    Her tattoo says, “Never a failure, always a lesson.” But it’s written backwards so she can read it in the mirror.

  • Sylmarvelous

    She said on 106 & Park that she got it backwards so she can read it the right way for whenever she’s in the mirror. I don’t know if she’s referring to the Chris Brown thing or life in general…

    The TAT is 4 Her …Not 4 U.

  • justastylist

    RIHANNA GO TO CHURCH AND LET GOD HEAL YOUR SOUL!!!!!!!

  • 1TruDiva with the PlatinumVocals–Remembering Shaniya!!

    That girl’s gone.

  • iFeelFree

    Who cares? Maybe she wanted to be creative wid it… Its her body!

  • white male

    It says “trashy” to me. But its not my body.

  • devil’s advocate

    i like that idea…its more of a personal message to herself when she looks in the mirror everyday…that way it should read how its supposed to when she’s standing in front of one.

  • CJ BLACK

    Ri Ri you should be in the studio trying to make a better album, cuz this last one was horrible. Also are you getting crator face? hmmmm!

  • @Rihanna’s sharp n witchy finger to the oath

    I did some research and you are on point! ITs amazing I wonder if this is the real reason Pac was killed and made to look like gangbangers. Humm

  • Tia

    Poor Laura Reid you must be really young,dumb or just plan ignorant. Its obvious that you are
    captivated by Rih and other Celebrities which
    is sad, considering there are more deserving people to idolize. Instead of insulting others and calling people “haters” why dont you take time to love, educate and respect thyself. :-)

  • Raina

    Oh God, what’s the big deal, it’s her body and she can do what she wants with it. She wants it backwards so she can read it in the mirror. You may not like it but it’s not you looking at it in the mirror everyday, so who care what you think?

  • RoseoftheBayArea

    Its backwards so when she looks in the mirror she can read it the right way. How many people remember sci class in HS? lol

  • eldeeN ytriD tahT yawA werhT yehT epoH I

    Okay, who next in line to get a Tattoo after Rihanna.

  • JUDY

    This is old news.Cute hat.

  • TRUTH IS….

    satanic…she is just satanic

  • msorlando

    it says NEVER A FAILURE ALWAYS A LESSON she has it backwards so she can read it herself in the mirror DUH people STOP HATING

  • just a thought

    MJ’s Dr is never going to jail and Chris Brownie is going to have to find another
    career due to the powers that be…..

  • me

    its only for her to see in the mirror.

  • Would Have Been Easier To Just Write It On A Piece of Paper

    duh………………………..

  • It’s For Everybody To See How “Deep She Is”

    BTW: She’s as deep as a glass of water

  • Opps I Forgot gl.a.s.s. of Water is a Bad Word

    There’s a reason why it’s backwards Lol it’s so that see can read it in the correct way , when she’s looking in a mirror

    Great information!

    I enjoyed reading this very much. Thank you! I look forward to reading the other parts of your blog.

  • yashira

    Its backwards so she can see it in the mirror every morning Rhianna said ya such haters

  • Just Hella Whatever

    I get the Backwards thing but it should say “i’m the Wackest B i t c h in the game right now next to Nicki Minaj :(

  • http://orhardlyworking.blogspot.com shaahn

    i love it.

  • thickums

    so everytime she looks in the mirror she could read it….. a message to herself.

  • Thatdude

    First of all whats the big deal about the tattoo??? Don’t see nothing wrong with it. its backwards for when she looks in the mirror at herself its just a reminder for her. When you write something backwards andyou look at the reflection it is turned around the right way. Try it if you don’t believe me

  • Christina aka Star

    HOT! Rihanna is doing WTF she wants to do! Were in another generation, Tattoos’ are trendy now. Why hate cause she’s doing things different??!! & her album is FIRE! If your not going through something, or been through something…have a drink and listen to Russian Roulette. Think about that LOVE you did anything for!

  • Innochka

    Its cuz when she looks in the mirror she can see it forward instead of backwards.

  • http://www.befashiononline.com BapBarbie

    I hope that she doesn’t regret all of those tatts when she gets older like I did.

    People love hating on Rihanna. That tat is cute. Maybe yall should look at yall own lives and stop criticizing others.

  • gfx

    It means the tats for her, not for anyone else: she reads it in the mirror every time she looks at herself.

  • http://5starchick 5 star chick

    Tia learn how to spell honey. Then holla

  • KariB

    I like it. I wouldn’t do it though.Her image consultant must have seen a rocker with it because this has been done by others.(Better make sure FeFe Dobson doesn’t have it.) It fits her gimmicky image so it works. I like most of her tattoos.

  • Jamaican_Rebel

    I don’t believe in tats… nothing permanent on my body! No ma’am! mm-hmm but its her choice, if its that important to her why hate on it? Leave it alone! And such a personal one at that! >>It aint yo bizniz<<

  • ladyskyy

    Don’t ya’ll get it? It’s backwards so that when she looks in the mirror, it will read the right way. Hopefully she can be reminded of the mistakes she has made in her life and take a better course in the future. Just an observation folks…

  • purple5starbitch

    it says never a failure always a lesson
    it’s just backwards
