Rihanna has gotten a brand new tattoo. We all knew one was coming after the Chrihannagate scandal blew over and she wanted to show how “Hard” she’s gotten.

It reads:

“Never a failure. Always a lesson”

under her right collarbone. And it’s written in a mirror image in gray ink. She had her fave tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy of East Side Ink do it around 2am this morning according to him.

Rihanna’s explanation: “It’s kind of my motto in life for everything.’ Instead of considering things to be mistakes, considering them lessons.” I wonder if Cover Girl is gonna like this…
