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.
i liked rihanna better when she looked like this

As a fluent French speaker myself I can assure you that what you’ve read on the other website is absolutely true.
You’d think that someone with her resources could have got this right?! Oh well!
i’m still giggling about the eccentric spanish teacher
Maybe she was being “rebellious” and wanted it that way….??
hilarious that her family was murdered! SO ECCENTRIC!
Yeah Em, like THAT outfit didn’t make her look cheap. ;P Tatts are a-ok, but yeah.. she should have researched first.
At first I thought it was stretch marks, then I realized it was neck hairs.
Ha! I thought the same thing the first time I saw the photo.
RF are her initials. Thus.
you have a point.
Yes, she could had use “rebel flower” instead. It’s RF too.
I’m french and “rebelle fleur” just sounds weird for any who speak french, why choose write it in french if she doesn’t care about how to write it well…
Nancy, you seem like a nice girl and all, but you put ur email address in the wrong box. You might want to pray to beet to remove it before some dick like me posts it on /b/ and tells them you’re a french chick who does not shave her pits. Well it could get ugly.
All Romance languages follow the structure noun + adjective; Spanish, French, Italian, Catalan, Portuguese, all of them. If Bunty is right then I can see why she did it, but she still looks like a right idiot to the hundreds of millions of people who can speak French.
Well I’m French and I totally agree with the article, in French we say Fleur Rebelle. Rihanna is an idiot…
