Pop sensation Rihanna recently added a new tattoo to her collection.
Written in gray ink, the tat reads: “Never a failure. Always a lesson” under her right collarbone. The phrase is written backwards so the “Umbrella” star can read it when looking in the mirror.
She explains, “It’s kind of my motto in life for everything.’ Instead of considering things to be mistakes, considering them lessons.”
Rihanna’s favorite tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy of East Side Ink did the tattoo around 2am Wednesday morning (December 9).
McCurdy exclusively told OK! magazine, “She came in at about 2:00 A.M.. She told me in advance she’d be coming, and then when she got there, she told me what she wanted: ‘Never a failure, always a lesson,’ but written backwards.”
To date, Rihanna has 12 tattoos. The “Russian Roullete” hitmaker once said: “I like hanging out in tattoo shops. 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.”
