Rihanna Gets Misspelled “Forgiveness” Tattoo on Her Hip

Rihanna may have wanted to make a statement by getting a tattoo in Sanskrit that reads "forgiveness, honesty, suppression and control" but it may have gotten a bit lost in translation. According to Sanskrit expert Mark Fielden, the tattoo is "incorrectly written."

Tattoo artist BangBang, who inked the gun tattoo on Rihanna’s rib is the same person who did this latest one. It was taken from a passage of Gita, a holy Hindu text.

Yikes…That’s the problem with tattoos. She now has a permanent spelling error inked on her hip.
