Apparently, according to reports, his oh so lovely skin art, is not actually based, as was widely assumed, on Rihanna’s battered face, but on a MAC beauty counter, “Blank Face” – the template that consultants use to demonstrate different make-up looks.
This one, apparently …
This “look” is based on a Sugar Skull, (for the Mexican Day Of The Dead.)
Here’s his Tweet explaining things. Oh dear. He’s “an artist.”
Of course the rest of us, were we in his position, might well not choose to ink our skin with anything (Art, MAC, Sugar-skull-inspired or not,) resembling a woman who looks very like his ex WITH A BLACK EYE.
But we are not all “artists.”

First of all, if that’s the design he brought in, he should sue over what the final product looks like. But he’s not suing, is he? He likes it. Because he’s clearly a sick and stupid man who’s proud enough of beating up his girlfriend that he’ll get the image tattooed on him forever. This whole denial is probably orchestrated by his agent or his record company.
He makes me nauseous.
Agreed with above. The actual not-a-tattoo looks really pretty, but the thing on his neck looks like something a crime scene investigator would pore over for clues. Totes gross.
