High off her “I don’t give a f*ck” attitude, singer Rihanna got a new tattoo on Monday at one of her favorite tattoo parlors, East Side Ink in New York City. Owner Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy revealed: “She wanted, ‘Never a failure, always a lesson.’ but written backwards” so she could read it in the mirror. I asked her why she wanted that and she said, ‘It’s kind of my motto in life for everything.’ Instead of considering things to be mistakes, consider them lessons.” Interesting choice of a phrase to get inked.
