Poor Taste Mr Brown

Causing much furore over the last few days Chris Brown has hit back at claims his new tattoo is of a battered Rihanna. The then couple had a well publicised domestic violence dispute in 2009.

Brown's PR team have stated the tattoo is "not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported.". Apparently the tattoo is based from a MAC face chart for the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. As someone who used to follow MAC releases closely I will vouch that the face does  resemble the standard face shape and eyes on their face charts.

However, and the following point of this 'however' is one of those "end of story you will not change my opinion by any means as I feel strongly" kind of points, it does look like a beaten women. A skull in genderless this, as can been seen in the photo above, is undeniably a women. This is without a doubt poor taste. To be honest I think this tattoo is bad taste for any person have- each to their own. For Chris Brown who has been convicted of domestic abuse this is a disgusting error of judgement. No matter what this tattoo represents, symbolises or is supposed to depict the cold hard truth that no sane person can deny is that it looks like a women with severe injuries.

Anybody who thinks this tattoo is acceptable I do not respect your judgement and will never value your opinion.
