Did Chris Brown Get A Tattoo Of Rihanna On His Neck? (PIC)

Is That Ri-Ri On Chris Brown's Neck?

Words have completely and utterly failed us.

Chris Brown has unveiled a monstrous new tattoo on his neck of a woman who looks rather familiar.

The inking bares an uncanny resemblance to a pic of a battered and bruised Rihanna, which was released following his attack on her in 2009.

However, the rapper has reportedly insisted it is NOT a portrait of his ex-girlfriend who he was convicted of assaulting outside a pre-Grammys party.

"It's a random woman," they added.

The singer's publicist was quick to point out the tattoo is actually a picture of a skull and not an abused woman, and now the star has taken to Twitter to explain the image was inspired by Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration.

"I'm an artist and this is art. Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)," he wrote.

The singer is said to have paid a MAC make-up artist who created the design to allow him to replicate it on his neck.

Chris debuted the new tattoo on 1 September - nearly a week before he and Rihanna publicly kissed at the MTV Music Video Awards.
