Usually when you are the victim of violence you try to find ways to defend your self and make sure you will never have to face abusive behavior again. This also might thought Rihanna when she tattooed a gun on her ribcage. The tattoo was made by the most famous artist in this area, called BangBang.

At the beginning, the 21 years old singer wanted to have two guns tattooed on the top of her arms. But after drawing them to see how they look, she decided the guns were too visible. And when you have an image contract with a magazine such as CoverGirl paying your bills, you can not afford this lux.
So it looks like Rihanna is trying to get over the Chris Brown story. Recently she visited a few houses in the Hollywood Hills and she started to go out more. Good for her!
