RiRi's New Ink
Filed under: Rihanna

Rihanna has quite a tattoo fetish, getting numerous pieces the past few months.
The darling of pop showed off a recent addition in Paris this past week.
Interesting placement.
What do you think it says or represents????
Update: A lot of readers are commenting that the tat is "Freedom" in Arabic.

it means freedom..its in arabic
Its sooo cool. yes it does mean freedom in arabic (im a native arabic speaker)
she is stepping in the foot of Angelina who also has an arabic tatto
when her tattoos have more substance, then i'll be interested. too tiny to even peek my interest.
freedom …yup thats what it means what an angelina jolie copycat…..argh be original
That Freedom in Arabic
Anyone notice the wedding band on her finger?
from a distance it looks like a rash, I don't like it
Yes, thats "Liberty - Freedom" in Arabic..
YOU GO GIRL
she has man hands.
its an arabic word… al huriah
it means freedom
Arabic script CAN be beautiful…
…..?
it says FREEDOM
is she even arabic? what the fuck.. after all the bashing the us does against the middle east.
no of course it does not mean Freedom ! it means Life in Arabic (el hayaat)
It says Al Hurriyeh which means FREEDOM in Arabic. I wonder how long before Israeli lobby groups claim she was a Nazi guard at Treblinka.
i really like the placement!
and i really like the tattoo!
tattoos that mean something, as well as ones that are placed in a different spot, are so much more interesting than getting something everyone has in a place that everyone has it.
it, like all tattoos, is a mark of self mutilation - guess she hates herself for being a talentless flavor of the month
It looks like the beginning of an attack of Ebola.
It should say "I'm a wanna be singer that can't sing and stupid people worship and actually pay to see me."
Re: *~*ME*~* – learn how to spell. you idiot. *her
it means freedom in arabic wowow dat so kooolllllllllllllllllllllllll
it looks like dirt
Aliens abducted her in the night.
How do you say, "Oppressive, mysogynist, hateful, backwards, violent, smallminded, homophobic, art and book burning, other religion persecuting, medieval religion that uses terrorism and fear to get what it wants" in Arabic?
hey, i'm an arab who actually knows how to read and write arabic. the tatoo says Al-Horiya, which means freedom. And Rihanna is also an arabic name. All I am saying is cant all these celebs find a tattoo artist that can draw the arabic script in a prettier way? All the tattoos ive see look like they have been printed from the arabic font right off of windows. lol. The arabic script can be written in a hundred diffrent beautiful ways.
It says Al-Huriya which means, "freedom".
This goes for Angelina Jolie as well… why get a tattoo in another language if you can't speak it and have no intention of seriously learning it? This has always irked me.
al huriyah means freedom but doesnt al hariyah mean one who is worthy, deserving, the one who should be. i could be wrong though.
Rihanna could have done that using a Sharpie. It's nice but too small! Dream big, do big!
It says Freedom In Arabic..here you go!:)
Yea this word means Freedom in arabic…!!!
In Islamic it means she's a dumbass for getting a tattoo. It looks like a 3 year old took a pen and scribbled on her.
It's freedom in Arabic but two of the letters are written INCORRECTLY!!
it says "Chris Brown wuz here"
Rhianna can go and fuck herself!Rhianna can go and fuck herself!Rhianna can go and fuck herself!
it doesn't mean freedom, it means FOR freedom. walla its written lil 7oreya not al 7oreya.
I guess arabic tattoos are the new chinese tattoos that were popular in the 90's. All these idiots were running around with chinese symbols that meant slut or skank and they thought they were getting 'Princess' or 'beautiful'. HA! It seems this has been confirmed as freedom but it would be funny if it meant 'dumba$$ who thinks she’s cool for getting a foreign tattoo'. Oh well, that it what it means in my book…and it’s going to be quite ugly in about 30 years being in that area. Can you tell this chick irks me? She is just too annoying.
yes it says freedom in Arabic
yes - it means freedom in arabic
In Arabic?????????????
It looks like one of those vamp slave symbols from blade!
Can someone name the designer of this beautiful piece of garment?
Re: anford80 – no KIDDING!!! doesn't anyone else notice the ring?! Thats the real story here!!!
The tattoo may not say "Chris Brown was here" but the ring sure does!
Yeah, that definitely means freedom in Arabic.
That's the arabic word for "Umbrella"
Please, that's barely a tattoo!!

HOW COME NO ONE ELSE CARES THAT SHE'S WEARING A WEDDING RING?
hahah.
Just wondering.
freedom in Aragic? I don't think so since the word does not exist in their barking and grunting "language". More like submission and conquest. RiRi should start trying out burkas because that's what's she will have to wear — well that is if the horde let the dhimmi live and don't saw her head off.
it mean freedom in arabic
Why would she wannahave arabic words on her body.. she isnt even from an arabian country.. gawd.. attention whore

i m glad she wrote it in arabic.
it means freedom in arabic. and that's arabic for sure.i don't know where she got the idea of having a tatoo in this language ,but it's so cool that made me love rihanna even more.
PS:i am moroccan and i love your web site perez i am so addicted………so crazy about it ….you have the newest gossips, and they are all true.
looooooooooooooooooove you
The one thing people should look out for when they get tattoo's in other languages is making sure the artist knows what theyre doing…..
It says freedom in Arabic as lots of other people said, but the last two letter are supposed to be connected and the picture makes it look like their not.
So…..it really says nothing and is a hot mess…..RiRi should work on that….
it says 'the freedom', not 'freedom'
That indeed is in Arabic, and it says FREEDOM. SHE TOOK MY IDEA! DAMNIT!
It's freedom in arabic
hey perez im an arabian i speak arabic and that tatoo is pronounced ” al horiya” that means freedom in arabic
I am arabic and yes its freedom… very cute
Ugh, so being a dune coon is cool now? I hope she knows that in an arab country she'd have absolutely no rights, at all. Fucking ignorant Hollywood fags
Re: Murid –
Too bad there's no such thing for women in any middle eastern country except israel

Re: LEBANON –

I have a coworker that reads arabic, IT MEANS LIBERTY NOT FREEDOM.
it means, "look, kids. if you suck jay-z's dick, you can get a record deal, too! who cares if you can't sing for shit!?!??!" not sure what language. i think it's inuit (eskimo) native language.
