Chris Brown Says His New Tattoo is NOT Rihanna

We were shocked yesterday when Chris Brown debuted his latest tattoo, a picture of a beaten up woman who bears a shocking resemblance to Rihanna.

The 23-year old singer was pictured showing off the tattoo at a Las Vegas event earlier this month.

The tattoo, which is on his neck, shows a woman with a similar face structure to the ‘We Found Love’ singer, with a black eye and deathly lips.

However Chris Brown’s reps have denied that the tattoo bears any significance to the abuse Rihanna suffered during their relationship.

According to TMZ, a spokesperson for Chris claimed the tattoo is inspired by a MAC advertisement.

Chris' latest tattoo is supposed to be based on this MAC advertisement

“His tattoo is a sugar skull (associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead) and a MAC cosmetics design he saw.  

“It is not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported.”

“It's a random woman.”

Rihanna told Oprah that Chris was the love of her life

The couple sparked rumours of a reconciliation when they kissed at last week’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Rihanna opened up about her feelings for Chris in an interview with Oprah earlier this summer and the pair was rumoured to have spent time together on Chris’ yacht while they both holidayed on the French Riviera in July.
