Freshly Inked!
Filed under: Rihanna
Rihanna performed on the Today show Friday morning and she showed off a new tattoo!
The singer is sporting some in atop her shoulder that looks like Roman numerals.
Wonder what significance it has to her???
RiRi already has little stars and several other tattoos covering her body.

Re: Laura – NOPE THERE IS AN 11 BEFORE THE 4! SHES NOT TRYING TO DO SOMETHING GOOD.
it's a 4 and 86
PEREZ!!!!!!! it's the roman numberal 4!! the same thing jay-z and beyonce have on their fingers!! creepy!!!
the tat is FOUR and EIGHTY-SIX but it isn't her bday as she was born feb 20, 1988. its what i thought at first, tho, too.
Re: Gia – oh yeah, maybe her mom died that day.
usually roman number tatoos have to do with how much time you spent in jail
that are either put on your wrist, ankle, shoulder, arm, or neck.
…..i was in juvi, im educated
oh, and it's not her b/f's bday either, b/c CB is a taurus born may 5, 1989…
Why is that Niggas always have the tendecy to steal/beg or Deal/Use drugs and least of all making absolute asses out of themselves all the time? peace yo! (yeah they also tend to invent the lamest of words and shit) :-°)
Re: Laura – actually it's the children of chernobyl
perhaps she is trying to commemorate chernobyl which happened in april 1986. LOL (@ the thought of her commemorating that, not at the disaster), j/k.
She can't sing. Enough Perez. You're wasting people's time with this stupid no-talent hack. What about posting about real singers? Not people who sound like they're drowning a stupid cat.
Groban 4 eva!
It's her best friend's birthday 4/11/86.
The significance is she's an Angelina Jolie copycat.
p.s. what's with the stupid hat?
IV LXXXVI
That's 4 86.
I'b think it's a date that means a lot to her.
I have a Latin tattoo so I'm certainly not complaining.
hmmm if she was born 4/1986 that would make her 22 not 20 like they report her to be…LIAR!
Riahanna's birthdate is Feb 20, 1988, according to Wikipedia. It can't be Chris Brown's either because Wikipedia says his birthdate is May 5, 1989.
I'm gonna go with a death in Apr '86. I can't, however, figure out who's.
It's not Her's or Chris's birth. It was 22 months before she was born, but there's not record of an older sibling. Chris is even younger than she.
usually roman numeral tats symbolize how many years someone spent in prison, and they are usually inked on the wrist, ankle, arm, shoulder, or neck. so since she has IV . LXXXVI, which could mean she knows someone who spent 4 years in prison in 1986 (LXXXVI is 86 in roman numerals). but theres a period between the IV and the LXXVI, so it could also mean mulitply (because the period sign means multiply in math) but i highly doubt it, i think she knows someone who went to prison for 4 years in '86. it could mean something else, but i dont know, im not a proffesional on sybols, i just went to juvi….
Everybody has people and dates that are important to them but it requires a primitive, ghetto mind to permanently mark your body with an ugly tattoo of someone's name or a date.
*i retyped my comment, just to add in something something, sry
he's so freaking ugly. dumb hat. dumb tat
I was was there. She is so pretty in person, I love her and I also love her style.
IT'S 4 AND 86!!!!
KNOW YOUR ROMAN NUMERALS!!!!
it's a shakespeare sonnet.
I guess it means the year 1985. Was she born in 1985?
it's Sacred Texts Hindu. It means…
SERVE your God, who has come into this temple of life!
Do not act the part of a madman, for the night is thickening fast.
He has awaited me for countless ages, {p. 133} for love of me He has lost His heart:
Yet I did not know the bliss that was so near to me, for my love was not yet awake.
But now, my Lover has made known to me the meaning of the note that struck my ear:
Now, my good fortune is come.
Kabîr says: "Behold! how great is my good fortune! I have received the unending caress of my Beloved!"
it's definitely 04/1986….also she is the definition of talent and beauty rapped up in one. too bad hollywood is full of a-listers who are none of the above. go Ri-Ri, you're the best!
I don't know, but the woman behind her is FUGLY!!
Re: eb – um… that would be impossible if she was born in 87 or 88…
kind of a cool place for a tattoo…..
Her birthday is Feb 20, 1988. So that's not it
Neg on April 1986 birthday, she was born Feb 1988.
since when did rumer willis sing back-up for rihanna?
Re: justm –
It's called tattoo removal… and by then, the process will probably be waaay faster.
someone stop her! lol
Re: jemin – I think you're right. I googled IV LXXXVI and got that same quote. It's from Canto and I think she's is saying that she's defying them all by being a woman and singing
thats a stupid ass tattoo. if it was her mom,dad,brothers, grandma birthdate then that would have been ok. but, its her best friend birthdate, that not a good look i wouldn't be supprise if her and the bestfriend are lesbians STUPID TATTOO RIHANNA, SAD THAT RIHANNA DON'T HAVE ANY REAL PEOPLE AROUND HER. CAUSE, IF SHE DID THAT TATTOO WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE
I don't care about the tattoo….I want to know what's up with the black dress and navy blue hat?! She has better fashion sense than that!!!!
WTF
Re: cja11 – IT'S 4 86
That's not the full tatoo. There is another roman numeral before it. The whole tatoo says 11-4-86.
She is born on Feb 20 1988 - ho so young!
Maybe it's her boy friend's b-date?
Its 4-86, which is the birthday to her BEST FRIEND Melissa. Melissa's bday is April/1986. Melissa got the same tattoo that read "II.LXXXVIII" for Rihannas bday of 02/88.
A lot of people don't know that Rihanns's bisexual. Go look at pics of Rihanna & her best friend.
Did you all see that interview she did on E, where she called Perez a fat kiss ass, and she hopes his 15 minutes are over soon. So funny
Some of you are just mean….Rhianna is a beautiful girl with a banging body
Re: p – id she was born in 1988 how did her mom die in 1986?
It means " 4 Loooove"
! ! ! !
her birthday is in 1988
It's probably from the Koran. It's lessons are formatted similarly:
[4.86] And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with a better (greeting) than it or return it; surely Allah takes account of all things.
Re: eb – OMG If her mom died in 86 how the hell was she born in 88 Seriously!!!! I think you need to think about what you are going to post before you come off looking like a complete dumb ass!
Re: m – i never wrote anything like that. im better at logic than to say something ridiculous like that.
Canto IV, lxxxvi: From all the Pope makes yearly 'twould perplex.
It is strange that it should be the Pope and the Sultan who are the chief encouragers of this branch of trade — women being prohibited as singers at St. Peter's, and not deemed trustworthy as guardians of the harem.
Dante's Divine Comedy
well all together the numbers = 82. Is there any significance? or separate they mean four and Epictetus. (c.A.D. 50–c.A.D. 138). The Golden Sayings of Epictetus.
The Harvard Classics. 1909–14.
LXXXVI
oh the wonder!!!!
why hacve you nothing about her argument or teyana trying to get with her
I'ts 4-86….probably her birth month and year
Her birthday is February 1988, so its not that.
According to her bio she was born on February 7th 1987. It looks photoshopped anyway.
Not overly fond of obvious tats but I saw her perform this a.m. and she is just beyond beautiful!
the numbers are 4 and 86 look it up!!!!!
Re: Jane –
Thank you! Im glad somebody is awake today. ITS PHOTOSHOPED YOU MORONS!!!
4.86
I like it. I also like those cascading stars she has.
Might be from….

Re: Cherr – Yes, this response was for some idiot, just like you dumbass, that had responded something about her mom. WHAT A BUNCH OF MORONS!!! Is everybody still saying that this number is her birthdate?? DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
why is everyone focusing on the numbers?
WHATS UP WITH THE FUCKING HAT?!?!?! and that fug outfit!!!!
i love rihanna but loose the train conductor's hat and hire a new stylist!
If I'm not mistaken it an excerpt from lord Byron's Don Juan. Canto, IV, Stanza LXXXVI…I don't know what it mean though, I'm not a poetry major, LOL
WHEN IS CHRIS BROWN BIRTHDAY?
its IV.LXXXVI which converts to 4.86
it says 4*86 it could be the month and year she was born or somthing significant
Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity Inc was founded in April 1986. it is a historically latin based fraternity with multicultural membership. she knows whats up. its the mnth and year that everythign started makin since.
thanks riri!!
I'm pretty sure in excerpt from Lord Byron's Don Juan, verse IV, Stanza LXXXVI. I'm not a poetry expert so I'm not sure what it means but I'm pretty sure that's what her tat signifies
I find it stunning how few people can read Roman numerals!
She has such pretty skin, I hate to see her eff it up like that. By the time she's 40, she'll look like Tommy Lee…or worse.
its 4-86
it's 4.86!
Re: majickgurl – Wrong. Pseudo intellectuals.
IV = 4
L=50
XXX=30
VI=6
4.86
Re: majickgurl – Oh, btw, Byron's Don Juan was written in CANTOS, not VERSES.
4-86?
IV=4
L=50
XXX=30
VI=6
4.86
it's not her birthday because she's born in '88. all i can see is "4 . 86"
It's a 4 and 86. Her birthday?
who care anyway. tattoos are trashy. they are just trendy and stupid girls get them and think they are cool, but a 90 year old lady with ink on her body is a joke.
IV = 4
LXXXVI = 86
4 could be the fourth month
86 as in 1986, too long for a tatoo = MXCLXXXVI
Re: goodu –
Angelina invented tattoos? Next thing you know, yoiu'll probably say people adopting kids are just copying Angelina.
WTF
it says 11/4/1986…her best friend's birthday
Don't you know how to use wikiprdia? her birthday is feb 20, 1988…
but still what are those numbers???
Dear Perez in our numbers is 4. 86
4 . 86 ??? Okay, whatever! Never understood tattoos … not impressed w/ this one either!
her numbers do translate in to 4 84…shes got some SPLAINING TO DO
n could some one to tell her to FIRE WHOEVER told her to get that EXTREMELY ugly bowl hair cut???!! its so bad it makes me want to have bleeding eyes or something
Overrated is an understatement!
Re: kat –
Your mom must be so proud
Angelina did not invent tatoos but she is setting a trend. As for the adoption of kids, people are so lame, they actually copy even that. Look a Mandona, copied her. Mia Farrow was a celebrity pioneer in the adopting of children.
I wonder who has written and created the songs that have launched this singer. They don't get enough credit, glory and $$$$ I wonder.
It's 4 & 86
It's 4 and 86 but her birthday is 2/20/88
4 86 have no idea what that means but……….she has interesting tatoos but whats the big dea?
it's 4/86, people
i hated her tattoo… so nonsense!!!!!!!!!!
I hate her so much.
With that outfit she looks like a ho.
Why is this bitch wearing that out of date LaToya Jackson sailor hat from the early 90's?
It has been awhile, but I think that is 4-86 in roman numerals
