Apr 14 2009Rihanna's tattoo is spelt wrong. Whoops.

0414_rihanna_tattoo_00.jpg

Turns out Rihanna's hip tattoo by artist BangBang (above) is not an accurate writing of Hindu Sanskrit, according to The Sun:

An Aussie expert on an education website says the first part means "forgiveness, honesty, suppression and control" and is from Gita, a holy Hindu Sanskrit scripture, but says it is "incorrectly written".

Wait. You mean this BangBang fellow isn't thoroughly versed in ancient texts? Get the fuck out. Now who's going to help me find the holy grail?

She should show more than her hip.

half the crap people get tattooed on them dosnt mean what they think it means. if you cant read it dont get it on your body - what makes your tattoo guy an expert, he looked it up on google?
do your own research, bring your own characters, if its wrong its your own damn fault!

Que fail.

second. what a skank.

this sorta crap makes me laugh..

so what was first a stupid tattoo becomes...?

I always wanted to get "fuck off" or something similar tattooed on my in Japanese, when ppl asked I could just say...FUCK OFF

But then I remembered I don't want tattoos :)

Sanskrit is an older language to Hindi which is now mostly not spoken in India. A bit like the relationship between Latin and English....

it says "my name is david beckham" and its not a transfer

She's gonna look like a friggen retard to every Australian expert on education who ever see's her hip. What a fool.

she knows all about suppression and control thanks to chris brown

Because of the mistakes, it reads as "forty acres and a mule."

Misspelled in Sanskrit?
Who cares, her name "Rihanna" isn't even spelled correctly.

I'll remember that when Chris Brown bits some meat off her.

She could literally have anything written on those fucking legs and ass for all i care. i'd still be all over it.

She needs some serious mental help.
Letting this greasy fat fuck named Bang Bang touch her and deface her beautiful body with those shitty tattoos.

pretty sure "spelt" is not a word..
unless it's a bad joke referring to the tatoo situation..? i can never tell with fish.

actually, i take it back. spelt is used in context with grains and flour..


Looks like Chris Brown skankified her. More damage than we guessed.

It says: "Impulsiveness, Shortsightedness, Ignorance and Poor Judgment".

she looks happy - but a tattoo isn't going to make chris brown go away.

You know, I felt sorry for this bitch for a while, but I just can't stand tattoos on any woman--as far as I'm concerned, she deserved her ass beating for being a trashy whore.

my friend had a tattoo done in "arab" above her ass crack to have it say 'slave" but after wards we found out it said "nigger' in arab..be careful what you wish for

Tattoos are tiny flesh billboards advertising what an idiot you are.

Yeah, that reads completely nothing. Some of the print doesn't even look like any real sort of a Sanskrit character. This all just keeps getting better and better; or worse and worse, depending on how you look at it.

Suppression and control..hmmmm....who was abusing whom i wonder. Aquarius = usually full of crap

What a stupid bitch! Haha! That's what she gets for trying to look cool and interesting!

Only thing dumber than a nigger is a wigger.

I see D-O-U-C-H-E-B-A-G written all over that guy's face.

Shouldn't it be "spelled wrong"? I thought "spelt" was a type of wheat.

I often wonder how many of those oh-so-hip Asian character tattoos actually say something like, "I LOVE TO SUCK COCK"

True Story right here folks. I had a friend who had the Chinese characters for "Hope and Faith" tattooed on her neck. 3 years later she actually had it translated by a Chinese man.... and it said FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.

lol.

Um, you she got this tattoo 2 YEARS ago right? This was when "Umbrella" came out. Note the hair.

So ummmm. yeah.

Cryptic tattoos that nobody knows the meaning of are stupid.

If anyone is thinking about getting a tatoo, get one on your arm that says, "I'm Stupid", that way 20yrs down the road, when you ask yourself..."god, why did I get a tatoo", just look at your arm.......

I thought it was Chinese for " kick and shoot load here".
Stupid me....

Don't knock all tattoos..
Some people get them because they mean something to them...
religiously, emotionally

Some people get them because they're idiots

Grimmer @23...perfect

I can read Sanskrit... that's her ATM PIN.

Yeah she is a talentless whore for one and has a giant nose like a gorilla for another. I hope Brown bashes her brains in next time.

That girl has been through so much

LOL- love it

You anti-tat people are a bunch of fucking pussies. I hope that you're proud to be a collective old man. Now go get those kids off your lawn and tell some hippies to get hair cuts.

#37: "Some" people get tattoos because they're idiots? No, I would say it's more like the majority. Like 95% majority. Tattoos only work when they're personally significant, making all those dragons, skulls and pinup girls utterly pointless.

You've missed the point of tattoos entirely, cryptic ones are the perfect tat.

The reason people get tattoos is to show them off to other people, whom they believe will think they are cool for having it. The problem is that that "hey, check out my tat" effect only works for about 5 minutes, then people lose interest. Eventually the douchebag has to get ANOTHER tattoo to recapture that brief moment of notoriety.

The cryptic tattoos are even better, because it makes other people ASK you what it means...then you get to pontificate about some bullshit about blah, blah blah...and they think it makes them look even cooler.

Basically, tattoos are emotional cries for attention in personified douchebag form.

her arabic tattoo is spelled wrong too.
its on her side ribs .....

Spelt?

Spelt?

#17, 29, 49 etc.

Jesus, people, "spelt" is perfectly correct, it's the past participle of "spell" . Do you say "who DEALED the cards" or "who dealt them?" Who knelt down in church last week? Whose sister got felt - not feeled - up?

As for the tattoo, no sense in crying over spilt milk.

I would feast on her ass like a stoned 400LB guy attacks food at an all you can eat buffet.

@45. mafme

Yeah, you're right, all those deep, meaningful tramp stamps and tribals and barbed wire armbands and "Shhh" on the index fingers and stars behind the ear or leading down skanky chicks' abdomens are really beautiful, especially after ten years or so when the coloured ink fades to that ugly green and it looks like a two year old attacked them with a Sharpie in their sleep.
Nothing is funnier that saggy old flesh all inked up, male or female.

Now go get a haircut, hippie.


@ 32 - So she's actually been skankified for a while now, huh?

@ 45 - You pro-tat people are a bunch of fucking dummies. I hope you're proud to be a collective eyesore. Now go get tested for hep.

Everytime I see a tatoo on a hot chick, all I can think about is Pam Anderson's Hep C. They are God's way of identifing retarted people.

Don't blame the tattoo guy. Obviously the dum hoodrat Rihana gave him the wrong spelling of what to write on her.

Why is there a White guy so close to her in that photo that makes me sick.

You need Tatts..like you need another Beating!

Stop hurting..defacing the beautiful body that God gave you.

You know, it's really sad the way some of you are talking about her. She has been damaged mentally and physically and none of you seem to look at that. Everyone has the right to choose what they want on their own body. You may not like it but that doesn't mean she deserves to be called trashy. For you people to say she deserves a beating for her tattoos, are just horrible. How would you feel if someone said that about your mother, sister, girlfriend or anyone in your family? She's not choosing the best kind of help right now, but she's fighting her own demons and she'll get the right help when SHE is ready.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaters, u guys make her what she is today, yall probably be siting there humming her songs, idiots, let her be, u guys have no room to judge her, if u are without any sin then u can judge her, as along as the tat says what its suppose to say, who cares how its written, it looks hot. I must agree that the body is not to be marked on or pierced, so for the anti tat people, u better not have any piercings cause ur going to hell, lol
