– A Maori-inspired design on her right hand

– The Pisces zodiac sign behind her ear

– The words “rebelle fleur” on her neck

– A trail of stars descending down her back

– The phrase “always a lesson, never a failure,” spelled out backward, for convenient mirror reading, just below her collarbone

– A pistol on her right ribcage

– A star on her left ear; a girly-girl skull on her left ankle

As far as rappers are concerned, RiRi trails the likes of 50 Cent, the Game, and of course, Lil Wayne, for body-art supremacy.
