By now you’ve probably heard about Chris Brown’s new impossibly awful neck tattoo — the one of a battered woman, who may or may not be Rihanna. Naturally, when the news broke on Twitter earlier today there were plenty of LOLs to be had, as is usually the case when dumb celebrities do dumb things.

# Chris first got his neck tattoo in 2012. In this draft, you can clearly see more details, showing that it is not a depiction of Rihanna’s injury pictures.

Chris Brown’s lawyer already put a statement of what the tattoo means to the media back in the same year. “His tattoo is a sugar skull, not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported.”

hris Brown also spoke about the misinformation regarding his neck tattoo on Twitter. This was a tattoo he got when he was around 23. The only reason i feel the need to bring this up is because there a lot of braindead goofballs on reddit and twitter who constantly regurgitate the same bullshit for engagement that “oh look! chris brown’s a proud abuser and all this other crap while referencing the false narrative around the neck tattoo that it’s rihanna.” I’m not one to ever cover negative shit because it just becomes the perfect timing for all these leeches to get attention off it by making all the fuck chris brown posts and rewrite history. it goes to show you. when so many people constantly repeat a lie, it slowly gets veiled as the truth and that’s the case here.
