Filed under: Rihanna

arihanna-new-tattoo.jpgaarihanna-new-tattoo.jpg

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.

    I agree with the person who commented it looks like it was the font taken off windows- I have my name in Arabic over the Syrian flag (My ethnicity) And I did it in my own handwriting- It certainly doesn't look like anyone else's tattoo they had done in arabic.

    218

    Re: *~*ME*~* – True btw! The font is crap, she should have chosen something more artistic.. Jolie's "al-azeema" looks so much better compared to this

    First Chinese letters were trendy and now Arabic letters are trendy….What's next on the list of things " I don't identify with or have no relation with, but I am going to do/get anyway" A palm tree and some coconuts would have been more befitting.

  31. AMP says – reply to this


    231

    It says "for freedom," but the calligraphy is really poor. The last letter is missing a line along the top, making it look like a different letter.

  32. Whatever says – reply to this


    232

    Um.. that's not Arabic, those are called hieroglyphics.

  35. mytwocents says – reply to this


    235

    Why on earth does she have arabic on her she isn't even from there or anything. Everyone thinks its trendy to get chinese, arabic, etc. but then half the country is hating arabs but will rock their "cool writing"

    It's against arabic culture to get the tat so she is basically insulting it idiot

  36. caline says – reply to this


    236

  38. ZLL says – reply to this


    238

    Its definitely arabic and it means 'freedom'. The letters of the tattoo spell out "Al-Hureeyah" which means freedom.

  39. perezfat uglyshit says – reply to this


    239

    248

    She is copying Angelina Julie, she has got Al-azema in arabic which means determination.. And Rihanas in Arabic means Freedom (Al-Hurria)..

  49. Eric says – reply to this


    249

    Yeah its "freedom" in Arabic….surprised it was done right, would have been funny if the tattoo artist buggered up. Its so rigid cuz one slight wrong move one could mistake it for saying "spicy," like in the context of that indian food was spicy…i'm amused

  50. BOOYAKA says – reply to this


    250

    You ignotards most of you seem to forget (wait, who am I kidding, it's the Americans we're talking about here- who know nothing about any other culture but their own-if they even do) so let me rephrase… most of you morons don't 'know' that there are 22 Arab countries in the world. Millions and Millions of Arabs live in Europe, Canada, and the U.S. To even think for a escond that you can sum it all up with one nasty steriotype is more ignorant than actually thinking Israel is a "MIDDLE EASTERN" country.
