To think that it very strange that Chris Brown would have a picture of a battered woman tattooed onto his neck?

Chris Brown who is most famous for beating up Rihanna and being pretty unrepentant about it now has had an image of Rihanna in her beaten state tattooed onto the side of his neck

Anyone else find this pretty disturbing?

*Now, not who's

Eww, what a creep! Always did find him so, since I heard about thát incident with Rihanna - had never heard of him before, and have never listened to his music, wouldn't want to give him the time of day....

How could she ever get back with him or remain friends with him

frootshoots - this is the dichotomy in abused women....

I can imagine Rihanna, because of her fame, must lead quite an isolated life, really. ...

Maybe she is still in contact with him because he is one of the few people in her world, she can be completely herself with.

And work out in her own head why she attracted this type of man.

At least she gets reminded of it every time she sees him with a tattoo like that Shock

He's twisted, and so is the public "forgiveness" which seems to have happened where various slebs come out in support of him for having moved on, learned his lesson, etc etc as though they know anything at all about abusive vicious men.

Even worse is Rihanna being an irresponsible twat and publicly being close with him after what he did. To her it's publicity and a nice little game for attention seemingly; to numerous little girls who idolise her it is probably a sign that it's ok to forgive a violent man as long as he says sorry.

The whole thing is sick and their management should be ashamed. Then again they are probably all like characters from The Devil's Advocate anyway. As long as the dollars flow in, keep the sick "relationship" going. Yuck yuck yuuuuck.

MissBetseyTrotwood · 11/09/2012 19:27

The man is vile. I had no idea about his music (only knew of him through his violence) and now I realise the DCs have been singing that 'Don't Wake Me Up' song. That's stopping then!

JeuxDEnfants · 11/09/2012 19:35

It's not a battered woman. It's a zombie and I have no idea of the significance but the daily mail is not gospel.

FermezLaBouche · 11/09/2012 19:39

I struggle with anyone who thinks a neck tattoo is a good idea, to be honest.

Gruffy · 11/09/2012 19:39

If this really is what it is said to be then I am speachless. Totally vile.

AKissIsNotAContract · 11/09/2012 19:39

It's a zombie that looks remarkably like poponthepop.com/gallery/rihanna-beat-up-bruised-face/ this then.

FutureNannyOgg · 11/09/2012 19:45

It looks to me remarkably like a mexican sugar skull (as the article says). My local tattooist has flash designs of several half human, half day of the dead skull faces, that look just like that but better drawn I'm not convinced of the likeness to Rhianna at all.

FutureNannyOgg · 11/09/2012 19:47

That's not to support him in any way, I just think the article is sensationalist non-news.

BoomerGold · 11/09/2012 19:53

I don't believe it looks like Rihanna. I do think he was a stupid twat to have it done considering what he did to Rihanna. I also think he's sure it won't cost him any fans, and he'd be right.

ErikNorseman · 11/09/2012 19:55

The human half of the face is bruised and beaten. There is no logical explanation for it. I am also speechless

FutureNannyOgg · 11/09/2012 20:00

If it is supposed to be Rhianna the eye is completely the wrong shape for a start. I don't think she is bruised, I think that's just the shading.
Seriously though These designs are really common

Does it strike anyone that it's a really crap tattoo? I mean the quality. Did his little brother do it?

AKissIsNotAContract · 11/09/2012 20:40

yes it is crap. The ones FutureNannyOgg linked to are far superior.

Chubfuddler · 11/09/2012 20:42

Cheryl Coles comments are unsurprising since she has a conviction for a violent offence herself.

BoomerGold · 11/09/2012 21:20

Ooh yes, Cheryl has always struck me as the type to be a bully, and when the story came out about the toilet attendant I immediately believed it.

Judgemental, much? Me?

ScarletLady02 · 11/09/2012 21:21

It's a fucking awful tattoo whatever it is supposed to be. Can't stand neck tattoos as it is and I love ink.

FreudiansGoldSlipper · 11/09/2012 22:50

i feel sorry for Rhianna after hearing her own father say well he is a nice guy but made a mistake it is not surprising her relationship with him is on/off

the tattoo looks crap but i do think it is of a beaten woman it looks like part f the face is missing

i do not like the guy for what he has done i do not like his music but there are many artists who have violent history, john lennon, eric clapton, james brown, steve mcqueen, sean penn, roman polanski or is it because they have made more credible music/films we can over look their actions. i struggle with it but not with cb as i do nto like his music

SmellyFartado · 11/09/2012 23:08

He's just vile. Vile. Vile. Vile. Vile. Vile.

And we need look no further for confirmation that Cheryl Cole is thick as shite if that's what she said about him.

mamalovesmojitos · 11/09/2012 23:13

There is something really wrong with that man.

Clytaemnestra · 11/09/2012 23:18

He says it's based off a MAC design, and it is identical to the look books style they do. here is one blank one and here is one showing a look. I've seen them with one eye closed to show the lid, and the face/lip shape is definitely from MAC if you ignore the rubbish shading. I've seen a load of those death masks as well, they're v.fashionable. I entirely believe that it's a day of the dead/MAC tattoo that one of his hanger on mates did badly with none of them thinking of much more than skulls are cool.

He doesn't give a shit what people think of him because he doesn't need to - if you can beat your popstar girlfriend and the world doesn't give a crap, he must feel like he is totally invincible. But in this case I don't think it's actually meant to be Rihanna. I just think it is a BAD tattoo.

NCForNow · 11/09/2012 23:19

He would probably say that it signifies the end of his violence...that the "dead" side of the face shows that his violence has died...whilst the living is there as a reminder...or some such unimaginative SHITE!

Bring it on Chris Brown Shit....I'll be happy to show you what you deserve.

SirGOLDBoobs · 11/09/2012 23:22

He's a horrible, horrible man. No talent, head shoved so far up his own arse he can't see the sunrise. And now he's got the face of a woman having been beaten on his neck, like some fucking badge of office.

Makes me so angry.
