PHOTO: Rihanna and Chris Brown speaking out via tattoos

Star-crossed ex-lovers
Rihanna and Chris Brown
are expressing themselves
through new tattoos. Given
their violent history, his
latest tat might be seen as
kind of creepy.
Entertainment Weekly is
reporting that Brown has
covered the right side of his
neck with the face of a
woman who looks like she's
been beaten. Brown denies
the woman is Rihanna, the
ex-girlfriend he was
convicted of assaulting three years ago. But the tattoo
resembles the infamous picture of Rihanna's injured face taken
shortly after the assault.
A rep for Brown told ABC News that the tattoo is not Rihanna,
it's a Mexican sugar skull (candy and toys for Mexico's Nov. 1
Day of the Dead parties) and similar to a MAC cosmetics design
Brown saw.
The pair have sort of reconciled since the assault. They've been
spotted together on occasional dates, and she told Oprah in an
interview last month that she sometimes misses him.
She, meanwhile, has just gotten a huge tattoo of a winged
Egyptian goddess splayed across her torso under her breasts,
according to New York's Daily News.
Rihanna showed it off in a
photo from her Instagram
account Sunday night, with
her hands covering her
nipples. The tattoo is a
depiction of Isis, the
Egyptian goddess of
motherhood and fertility.
It's meant to be a tribute to
her late grandmother, Clara
(Dolly) Brathwaite, who
died of cancer July 1.
"Goddess Isis -- Complete
Woman -- Model for future
generations --
#GRANGRANDOLLY," she
wrote in the caption.
"Always in and on my
heart."
