RiRi Gets Some New Ink

Filed under: Rihanna > Lady GaGa

As Lagy GaGa's dad would say, she's "running out of real estate".

On Monday night Rihanna paid a visit to one of her favorite New York City tattoo parlors, East Side Ink, to add another tattoo to her ever growing collection.

So what did RiRi get?

Owner Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy reveals: "She wanted, ‘Never a failure, always a lesson,’ but written backwards" so she could read it in the mirror.

Inneresting.

Bang Bang goes on to say "I asked her why she wanted that and she said, ‘It’s kind of my motto in life for everything.’ Instead of considering things to be mistakes, considering them lessons.”

The new tattoo is below her collar bone in a more subtle gray ink.

And unlike last time, Rihanna left the tattooing to the professionals.

What do U think of RiRi's new tat???

      HEY ASSHOLE - you got your butt KICKED on KTLA this morning after YOUR BABY TEMPER TANTRUM - they absolutely SLAMMED YOU SO BAD, it's not even funny



    4. 4

      'Lagy'? I think you need a proof reader. I dread to think what your book must be like.



    5. 5

      And yet again you somehow spin a story about someone else to include CaCa?? you're grasping now mario…



    6. 6

      First of all, Lady GaGa is not the only person who has said that. Second, do you have to mention her in a post that's not even about her? You are making people hate her!



    7. 7

      so trashy….aren't tattoo's soooo 90's



    8. 8

      What do I think of RiRi's tat? same thing I think of all tats… ridiculous waste of money as well as nasty. And not nasty in a good way.



    9. 9

      She should have her beef curtains inked.

      horrible



    11. 11

      IN 15 YEARS SHE WILL GET ONE THAT READS "NEVER THOUGHT HOW STUPID IT WILL LOOK WHEN IM OLD".



    12. 12

      Why's she doing all that?



    13. 13

      I'm not a huge fan of tattoos but I like it. It's original & has real meaning, unlike the tattoos most celebwhores are getting these days.



    14. 14

      Lame as Hell
      Tatoos r for Conservative ppl
      Why u want to have something so idiot for your entire life?Plz

      Re: Canadiana* – wtf????? would he pull his head out of her ass for one freaking minute????? ok he is in love with a person who can open a 55 gal drum with her nose, we get it, but we are fucking sick of hearing about her



    18. 18

      I think it's awesome, and I love the idea of it being backwards so she can see it herself..

    19. Jaded says – reply to this

      And the lesson here is… don't use something as abominable as domestic violence and all your family dirty laundry to try to sell your crappy album. Make a better album and you wouldn't need to sell your controversy you could just sell the music. I guess the lesson could be do anything to stay famous and relevant. I predict a sex tape lesson soon, or possibly a lesson about drunk driving because this selling her story still isn't helping record sales.



    20. 20

      Re: STEFFANlE – She isn't thinking too far into the future. This particular tat will just destroy her look in a wedding dress. Or bathing suit.
      Of course, she is free to do what she wants. But I think tattoos (on a woman) are atrocious.



    21. 21

      Re: Cyber-bullies get hit
      stupid asshole!!

      really suits her..:]



    22. 22

      I think it looks nice on her. :)



    23. 23

      Re: LizardKinG – …LMAO … and in reverse so she can read it in the mirror.



    24. 24

      I am against tats because I think they will be pointless once you get older. I do like hers though, it's like daily inspiration everytime she looks in the mirror.



    25. 25

      So dumb … a tatoo with letters reversed ?
      ok to read in the mirror , but what about those seeing from outside ?
      so ugly ! why not write the motto in a post-it and place it in all walls ?



    26. 26

      I read somewhere she has herpes, anyone else hear that?



    27. 27

      She's a trashy whore.



    28. 28

      Considering that tats sould mean something, I don't hate this one, it's original and motivational. But I don't like the location, it would've looked a lot better on her arm or ankle, not a good choice.



    29. 29

      Don't witches and satanists like to do things backwards????



    30. 30


    31. 31

      I like it. I think it looks hot on her and it depicts what she is going through in her life right now. Damn, I knew people were haters when it came to Rihanna but damn! We have a dude over here asking about a rumor he heard about he having herpes. You shouldn't even bring up stupid rumors. To accuse someone of having an S.T.D is just low and ridiculous. It's amazing how jealous people can stoop so low as to start rumors about people, especially hurtful rumors. I'm not too fond of tattoos myself but to each their own. There are people here commenting about how tattoos are trashy and how she is trashy. Ok, well that is your opinion but please note the message behind this tattoo and there are chicks that have WAY more tattoos than Rihanna. Jealousy is an ugly money.



    32. 32

      That's a really cute one actually.



    33. 33

      Idiot



    34. 34

      Stop talking about lady gaga even when she's not concerned!!!That's getting really annoying!!

      I don't like it(the tattoo)



    35. 35

      i think it is stupid that it is written backwards.



    36. 36

      Perez..Lve ya! Riri'a tatt is cute and different…ok kind dorky the whole backwards thing…But when you get chris brzzied anything your do will be ok!!! hahaha



    37. 37

      It's kind of cool that she got it backwards.



    38. 38

      I agree with that motto. I don't like tatoos but to each her own.



    39. 39

      Re: urlatinatati – OK. MY COMUTER IS FUCKING UP WHEN IT COMES TO SPELLING.LOL. Imeant that jealousy is an ugly monster.



    40. 40

      i like the actual tattoo but not where it's placed

    41. Retro says – reply to this


      41

      i love it, it's very original.



    42. 42

      Her and Gagag will regret all those tats one day.



    43. 43

      i like it, it actually has meaning



    44. 44

      And 40 years from now, she can look at that lame tattoo and think that the lesson learned is that you shouldn't go around having stupid tattoos of stupid sayings inked on your body. She could have just written it on her mirror in lipstick, same effect.



    45. 45

      I'm not a big fan of tats, but if she's gotta get another I like this one.



    46. 46

      Tattoos say something about what kind of person you are. Very few people can pull it off and come across as trash. Rhiana is not one of them. Most tattoos are just dumb crap and look bad. When her career is in the crapper and she is a failure, I wonder what lesson she will have learned.



    47. 47

      I love Tattoo's.. and I like her's.



    48. 48

      Um, how about write it on a post-it note & stick it on the mirror ???

    49. kis95 says – reply to this


      49

      I like it. It has meaning to her, and it's her body. Who cares what we think of it?



    50. 50

      Re: MissNice – yeah that's what i said, would like to argue that it's not original?



    51. 51

      Re: JigSaw – I love you!



    52. 52

      I LIKE IT…………………………………………..



    53. 53

      not as stooid as the star in her ear…



    54. 54

      OMG!! I just LOVE it! Wana copy just not same place I love it it's a positive thing to see everytime you look in the mirror. tatts w/meaning =awesome!

    55. Fabu says – reply to this


      55

      The tattoo is awful, why have it on her collarbone? She'll now look like shit (just like Angelina Jolie) in evening gowns… as for Lady GaGa, am I the only one who thinks she's fugly??? Don't get me wrong, I like her independence, but she's not "hot", that's for sure.



    56. 56

      Well to each his own. I don't have them. But, some on the right person are pretty cool. I think this is helping her deal with all the shiz from Chris Brown and the media. Lesson learned. As she said on 20/20 eff love! Girl is on a mission. But, in 20 years or more will any of that matter? Ah, no you put your lessons in a diary or write them down to remind you of your lessons learned. You don't use your body! JMO!



    57. 57

      She's getting more and more trashy by the minute!



    58. 58

      That tattoo is awful.



    59. 59

      yeah just mention lady gaga's name in every post! Who cares it's not even about her.
      you should close cocoperez and get a special website just about gaga..

    60. Sezzy says – reply to this


      60

      what lesson did she learn, not to spread herpes or else u get ur ass beat? lol.



    61. 61

      she is so stunning, she is really gonna regret getting all those ugly tats.



    62. 62

      It's a good personal message. I actually really want a tattoo now. I don't know what I would get though. I have a feeling if I gont ink I would regret it later…



    63. 63

      BTW, who cares what we think. It's obviously for personal reasons so like everyone else has said, to each their own.
      *****
      Also, she obviously doesn't care what people think of her and the message is a good personal message for life in general. So to say "What is gonna happen in 25 years" is really stupid. In 50 years the meaning of the tattoo will still be the same. So who cares. I like it.



    64. 64

      she should spend her money on seeing a THERAPIST.
      obviously, she has issues…
      NEVER A MISTAKE, ALWAYS A LESSON?!?!
      uhh…ur album, most of those crappy tats — all MISTAKES!
      this stupid bitch makes me sick.



    65. 65

      Why doesn't she just write it in eyeliner on the bottom of her mirror?

      Just because you identify with some saying or other, doesn't mean you have to get it tattooed on your bod!?

      I think she just did it so she could take her bra strap off and cup her bosom in that provocative milkmaid-like manner for the paps.



    66. 66

      Yuk - with each new tattoo she looks dirtier. Why are all these young stars so quick to PERMANENTLY mark themselves with stupid tattoos??



    67. 67

      It wasn't exactly neccessary to throw in Lady GaGa's name. Where's your post on how you walked out on a KTLA because they wouldn't cater to your fatass?



    68. 68

      Totally not sexy.



    69. 69

      In 20 years when she looks like Aretha's little sister, they all will look like gravy stains. No one cares.



    70. 70

      huh okay i like it i wasnt sure at first but its a good idea



    71. 71

      Wow Rihanna gets a tattoo written backwards! How does that make it to your blog Perez?! I thought the perezhilton.com motto was "celebrity juice from concentrate"… I guess she'll just about do anything to get publicity for her new crappy album.



    72. 72

      She seems to have lost all respect for herself. I think she's been really damaged by the beating and is trying everything to prover herself "worthy".
      She used to be sexy and beautiful but with all the trashy attire, comments and really bad hair lately, she just looks cheap.
      Tats are fine, but this one, despite its inspirational wording has defaced her.
      This isn't going to help land her any movie roles, certainly not any of classy, respectful women.
      Get a grip RiRi. Maybe some counseling. Don't be the next Whitney.



    73. 73

      I guess this is your lame fucking attempt at letting us know you've met Gag-itas father?



    74. 74

      youll actually mess up your skin for a tattoo we dont need to see how people know you bitch clean it



    75. 75

      that's really dumb. "so i can read it in the mirror" wtf?



    76. 76

      It's alright…



    77. 77

      I like it. Good on her for getting it done.
      I love tattoos, even if other people don't like mine.
      There is ALWAYS worse she could be doing.



    78. 78

      I luv it! and am thinking of getting the same verse on my back :)



    79. 79

      I use to like her..Now I'm getting tired of seeing her.



    80. 80

      She keeps getting FUGlier and FUGLIER…. FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY FUGLY



    81. 81

      i dont care



    82. 82

      fuk her!



    83. 83

      of all the places to put a tattoo, what a fucking dumbass. might as well tattoo your forehead since it has pleeeenty of room! say buh bye to your contract with covergirl.



    84. 84

      why is she always getting tattoos? and its mirrored much like her and her programming



    85. 85

      Dumb. Not only is she fucking up her body, shes getting tattoos that are hard to hide. Stupid.

      WHAT THE FUCK DOES LADY GA GA HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?
      DO YOU HAVE TO REFERENCE THAT WHORE IN EVERY POST.
      DID ANYONE NOTICE THAT PEREZ USED TO REFERENCE PARIS UNTIL SHE COULD NO LONGER STAND HIM AND NOW ITS LADY GAGA'S TURN.
      ONCE SHES OVER YOU, WHICH WILL BE SOON, YOU WILL HAVE TO LATCH ON TO SOME OTHER FLASH IN THE PAN.
      DIE PIG



    87. 87

      I love the placement



    88. 88

      it's kinda cute.



    89. 89

      Seriously dude, why do you always need to drag GaGa into a piece of "news" that has nothing to do with her?



    90. 90

      SATAN WORSHPPER…..another indication that RIRI is a Satan Woshipper along wit J and B….. SATAN WORSHIPPERS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR BACKWARDS ACTIONS… AKA… WRITING BACKWARDS…there ya go again.. plain as day.. SHE DONT HIDE SHIT… jus look at her videos and lyrics!
