Rihanna ‘star’ tattoo inspired many women to go get some stars placed on their backs, on their chest areas, the feet and other places. Shout out to INKSTARR Kat Von D who rocked the stars before Ri Ri with unique placement which she admitted to being inspired by another young lady but the phenomenon came at a fast pace when Rihanna got inked. Personally I know of five poeple who are rocking star tattoos. Ages Bebe? Ages 21, two 25, 28, and 33 years old.
While the stars are cute, very trendy – What is your reason for really wanting it?
INKING YOURSELF for trendy purposes is not the move… just saying.
BLASTING…
I personally like this one
It’s sexy, feminine, and the placement in my opinion is cool. Some people make the loudest noise about tattoo’s because that is something they would never do or something they want to do but fear. Include indecision, worrying about what others will say when it comes to reasons they will not get a tattoo. To me, it is a personal choice. I can respect the individual choices as someone who is inked. Reverse it, those who get their tattoos for the most part wear them with pride. While we’ve all seen an increase in tattoos in today’s society, while it is a trend to some, the larger community of INKSTARRS think it through.
They think through what they are going to get placed on their bodies, there is a personal meaning behind the tattoos and they respond maturely to those who come at them with what seems like never ending questions and more opinions as to why their personal choice should not have been one at all. For those people like myself who are highly committed to their tattoos, there is no thoughts of lasers tattoo removals, and no regrets.

The blog comments were blowing up when the pictures and news hit the blogsphere of Rihanna’s latest tattoo. The French Aficiando’s came out and stated Rihanna was incorrect on how she worded her tattoo. The tattoo reads on her neck, ‘Rebelle Fleur’ meaning Rebel Flower. French Aficiando’s with their critical selves ( mostly those who studied french or the high and mighty ) are correct the way to write it in french would be ‘Fleur Rebelle’. The BEAUTY of being INKED there are NO RULES on how you want something placed on you. Unwritten rule is to not copy exact someone’s custom idea ( a no no but it happens ). Rihanna for whatever reason wanted it to say Rebel Flower in french with the Rebelle coming first. GET OVER IT AFICIANDOS ( laughing ) .
Other blog comments were on the whole ghetto this, ghetto that. When will people get it that what you may think, another may not think. I am very sure Rihanna is not worried about who thinks what in terms of her INK WORK. When INK ART is place to the hands, the neck, the face it can be extreme. In the INK WORLD it is a ‘badass’ move. It is said to be a high level of commitment to your tattoo. As far as people commenting about not getting hired in Corporate with inkwork, that is not true. I have friends in very high corporate positions. They are inked in some very visible places. Intelligence sets in motion therefore they have their jobs. There are products on the market specifically designed to cover your INK ART. When applied correctly there are no signs of their ink. One of my girlfriends says it doesn’t interrupt her flow as she prepares for work. “I put on my face makeup I add this to my morning routine.” Where is her ink? She has a full sleeve on her right arm. The part that shows by her wrists, she covers it up with the cover make-up. No fuss, no muss, and those who are wiser or not the wiser don’t have to encounter the inkwork while she is at work. During off work functions with her job, such as breast cancer walks, runs for various causes she rocks her full sleeve walking or running alongside her bosses and co-workers. When you check the climate of who is rocking tattoos, many uber professionals are rocking the ink and those who were indecisive in their younger years are coming in to tattoo shops getting inked for the first time. We’re talking people over 40 years old. No matter if you think someone is taking it too far, that is their choice, their business, their life. To get too consumed is a waste of energy.
It’s a diverse world out here. How you carry yourself through life determines the amount of highs, the amount of lows there is to face. We all will face them with or without the INK. If considering getting a new tattoo, or your first tattoo think about what you are getting. Make it a point to come up with something that is meaningful to you not copy something that is meaningful to someone else. Look at the options of ink coverups out here, especially when you are on the career path where it may not be acceptable on a visible sphere. While I am not a fan of the written word tattoos, if it is what someone wants, that is their choice. I am a more detailed tattoo fan. I have much respect for the placements, especially when they are ballsy. Rock that out!
Famous opinion on tattoos: When you get old it’s gonna look some kinda way. Check it out, when one get’s old, they can say, this use to be a this and I was fine with it, I did it my way on my terms, no regrets. Fact is on a side note, many people of color I’ve seen with ink work who are in their 60′s and 70′s, you can still see the ink work fine, the skin has been taken care of with hardly any wrinkles. Take it from me, many people of color age well. My great-nana lived till 109 years old, died in 2000 and she had salt and pepper hair, no big wrinkles. Her daughter my grandmother who died at 86 in 2008 hair was white as snow and lil wrinkles. Many opinions on tattoos are like URBAN MYTHS. Rihanna’s gonna be fine, she is living her life, you do the same.
You’ve been deja vu’d,
BEBE
