Rihanna's Sanskrit tattoo incorrect

Singer Rihanna has a Sanskrit passage tattooed above her right hip which means forgiveness, honesty, suppression and control. But an expert of the language claims that it is written incorrectly.

The tattoo, taken from the Hindu holy text of Gita, was designed by New York artist BangBang, who has also inked Rihanna's controversial gun design under her right armpit.

Sanskrit expert Mark Fielden claims that it is written incorrectly, reported femalefirst.co.uk.

The “Umbrella” singer was also spotted visiting a tattoo parlour with a friend in California over the weekend.

"It is true we did visit a tattoo parlour together but I can't say if we got anything done because that is personal,” the friend said.
