How many tattoos does Rihanna have? — Nineteen!
***Post originally created on June 21, 2008.
Well, it only took me a few minutes to find what I needed, but I was busy with another post so this had to wait.
I’ve come to find out that the Bajan beauty has approximately 10 11 12 13 14 tattoos! It sounds like a lot, maybe even way too many, but Rihanna‘s good for placing them in spots that aren’t so “out there”. Though they’re not as noticeable, I still think she’s obsessed, and she’s even admitted it!
“I like hanging out in tattoo shops,” Rihanna has said. “I am so intrigued by tattoos. It’s an entire culture, and I study it. Sometimes I go with friends, or just by myself. I get bum-rushed, but I don’t care. I don’t take security.”
Back in September ['07], Rihanna told Atlanta Peach Magazine,
“I have four tattoos. The one on my ankle is a music note. There’s a Pisces sign behind my right ear. There’s a star in my left ear, and a Sanskrit prayer going down my hip.”
Since then, Rihanna has gotten even more tatted up. So, how many tattoos does Rihanna have? Here’s the full list that I’ve concocted…
:: F101 *official* List of Rihanna’s Tattoos ::
1. music note on her ankle [since 2006]
2. pisces sign behind her right ear [since '06]
3. Sanskrit prayer going down her hip [since '07]
4. a star in her left ear ['07]
5. the word ‘love’ on her left middle finger ['08]
6. an Arabic phrase on her ribcage area, meaning ‘Freedom in God’ ['08]
7. a trail of stars going down her back ['08]
* The trail of stars on her back and her henna-style dragon claw on her hand are were symbolic for her relationship with Chris Brown. He has the same ones.
8. a cute skull with a pink hair bow ['08]
9. the phrase ‘shhh…’ on her right index finger [June '08]
10. the date ’4.11.1986′ on top of her left shoulder [June '08]
11. a henna-style dragon claw, complete with Hawaiian hibiscus flowers [November '08]
12. a handgun, which Rihanna got during the midst of all the abuse stories and rumors about her relationship drama with former boyfriend Chris Brown [March '09]
13. “Never a failure, always a lesson” motto in mirror writing [December '09]
14. “rebelle fleur” which means “rebellious flower” in french [August 2010]
15. ‘Thug Life’ knuckle tattoo [January 2012]
16. Cross tattoo… on her collar bone [March 2012]
17. Another Arabic tattoo. This one meaning ‘Lover,’ is along the top of her butt and left hip. [March 2012]
18. Falcon tattoo… on her ankle [June 2012]
Rihanna tweeted this tidbit of information: “Falcon: a light that shines in the darkness! Never close their eyes during sleep,” alongside a close up pic of the tat, which we’re assuming means she’s always having to watch her back.
19. Goddess Isis tattoo… under her breasts/along her midriff [September 2012]
Rihanna tweeted that the tattoo is a tribute to her grandmother: “Goddess Isis- Complete Woman – Model for future generations- #GRANGRANDOLLY – always in and on my heart #1lo.”

thanx…found a better pic for the skull. i updated the post.
Its arabic writing on her rib, I seen 2 pics.
I usually don’t like a lot of tats but she has mastered the art of getting them small and so discretely. As long as she does do something big and horrendous she is cool. They look good to me. I would get them but I am an office manager. She is an entertainer so more power to her.
to writing on her ribcage means ‘freedom in god’ in arabic
Actually the writing on her ribcage translates to Freedom in Jesus. The last word translates to Messiah or Christ, which in turn is widely used as the common arabic name for Jesus.
what does the writing going up her hip say?
make that 12 tats. i believe she has a new on on her hand. i saw it on media take out. com here is the link http://www.mediatakeout.com/2008/28051-first_pics_of_rihanna_post_collapse__she_looks_ok__and_she_has_a_new_tattoo_.html
she has a light big dagar/sword on the inside of her arm, on an old pic walking her dog

That’s actually a guitar, but it’s not real. That was some time in early 2008 when she was trying out new tattoo ideas. It’s a stencil.
u got the fingers muddles up…love is th right hand and shhh the left x
The roman numerals read 11(10+1).4(5-1).86(50+10+10+10+5+1)==>11.4.86…Idk when her birthday is, just reading the tatoo.
The roman numerals are the birthdate of her bestfriend/personal assistant Melissa, Melissa has Rihanna birthdate in roman numerals on her as well.
THE TATTOO IS A TRADITIONAL TATTOO FROM MY MAORI PEOPLE OF NEW-ZEALAND IT REPRESENTS AROHA(LOVE) AND MANA(STRENGTH)IT IS IN NO WAY HENNA BUT LOOKS LIKE IT BECAUSE SHE GOT IT DONE ON HER WRIST WHICH IS AN UNCOMMON PLACE FOR A MAORI TATTOO BUT AN AWESOME IDEA I am Maori and I love this tat. I never would have thought of putting a Maori tat on the wrist but this is awesome and a very beautiful one at that and as for you stupid a$$ Maori’s who keep saying that other people shouldn’t wear our tattooing I mean come on you idiots it is no big deal and it is not Tapu (too sacred) for someone to have a Maori tat apart from a Moko so get over it! And for all of you saying that it is ugly, that is because you do not appreciate true and native art that symbolizes something more and deeper that has been created through out hundreds of years. Obviously she likes it because she understands tribal art and it’s importance, being native and islander herself. Very beautiful RiRi I love it!
i want her to get one on her boob/.
I THINK THEY LOOK GOOD JUST LEAVE HER ALONE!
Actually if you count every single one!
including all 3 guns its 15
they look nice!
te faltaron 2 mas! ella tiene una guitarra en el brazo y notas musicales en su pie derecho
I reckon it’s a good way to express yourself and what your feeling at certain periods of your life. No doubt these r all important to her. Go Riri! I think mine are prettier though lol jokes
Don’t forget to add the new one!!! “Never a failure, always a lesson.”

Eh what about the tattoo on her arm? It looks like a guitar or something.
@Christopherson: I answered someone’s question about this before: “That’s actually a guitar, but it’s not real. That was some time in early 2008 when she was trying out new tattoo ideas. It’s a stencil.”
