Rihanna Gets New Ink

OK! Magazine scored some pictures of Rihanna’s newest tattoo. The singer is a big fan of getting inked.

Rihanna went to one of her favorite New York City tattoo parlors, East Side Ink. Owner Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy says, “She wanted, ‘Never a failure, always a lesson,’ but written backwards” so she could read it in the mirror.

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.
