Rihanna’s latest tattoo reads “rebelle fleur,” which translates to “rebel flower,” just in case you couldn’t piece that together. Cute, right? I could see how Rihanna could be considered a rebel flower. The problem is, however, that the wording isn’t exactly correct:
The music superstar’s newest ink reads “rebelle fleur,” but someone forgot to tell the ‘Rude Boy’ singer that in French, adjectives typically follow the nouns they modify. To translate as “rebel flower,” which we assume is what she intended, that tattoo should read “fleur rebelle.”
I never took French – instead I opted to take Spanish with the eccentric woman from Panama who did not have her issues under control and didn’t so much teach us Spanish as she did tell us about how the government killed her family – but I’m going to trust the Internet on this one. I’m not going to hate on Rihanna though. As far as questionable tattoos go, it could be a lot worse.
