Some people also claim that the literal translation is "Freedom in Christ." The Barbadian singer's childhood was not easy, and her tattoos seem to be a way to express the strength, passion and freedom she has found in adulthood. The tattoo itself, however, is very untraditional, since getting your body inked at all is considered unlawful in the Islam religion. The Arabic tattoo on the "Right Now" singer's ribcage reads, "Al Hurria fi Al Maseeh," which translates to "Freedom in God." It is placed on her left side of her ribcage, just below her breast, and is written in the traditional Arabic writing practice, right to left. "My best friend from Barbados was here so we had to do something crazy," she said. She got the simple and unique tattoo in the Village of New York City, just stopping in the parlor with her friend. Rihanna got an outline of star in the top part of her left ear. This probably might be the most painful and difficult to get out of her tattoos. In addition to the incorrect translation, her tattoo is also missing the rest of the original prayer, which reads "pleasure, pain, birth, death." Apparently, a couple of slight differences in the dots and shapes of the Hindu prayer make incorrect translation. The tattoo, which she got it done in 2007, is from the Sanatana Dharma (Hindu scripture) Bhagavad Gita 10.4-5 and is supposed to translate to "forgiveness, honesty, suppression, and control." Unfortunately, it was misspelled and translated to "long suffering, truthfulness, self-restraint, inward calm, fear and fearlessness" instead. The meaning of her Pisces tattoo is clearly a celebration of her astrological sign, as the singer was born on February 20, 1988, making her a Pisces.Īrguably the sexiest of all Rihanna's tattoos is an ancient Sanskrit prayer that stretches from just above her waist to the top of her hip on the right side of her body. Luckily, the "Diamonds" singer was in Tokyo at the same time as him so she got it inked without any wait at all. The tattoo was done along with the music notes on her foot in 2006 by a famous Brazilian artist, who makes his clients book three years in advance. Rihanna's second tattoo is a Pisces sign just behind her right ear. The "Please Don't Stop the Music" singer's tattoo was inspired by her music career, when she was just starting out in the music industry, as well as her love and passion for music. It consists of a treble clef, which is the first image tattoo on her ankle, followed by a sixteenth note that is not filled in. The music note tattoo is believed to be done some time in 2006. Most of Rihanna's tattoos are fairly small - just like her first tattoo on the front of her right foot. Check out all of her 22 tattoos listed in chronological order and discover the significant meanings behind them! The "Pour It Up" singer flaunts her inked up body whatever chance she gets - whether on her vacation in Barbados, clad in a variety of skimpy, barely-there bikinis or on her racy, provocative music videos. By now, she may be quite used to going under the needle, and continues to add on to her awesome body art collection. Rihanna is known for her love of tattoos.
