For the love of Egypt, Rihanna

Rihanna honored her late grandmother with this chest tattoo of the Egyptian goddess Isis. "Goddess Isis – Complete Woman – Model for future generations – #GRANGRANDOLLY – always in and on my heart," she wrote.

Rihanna posted this photo on June 16, 2012, to show off her Egyptian falcon tattoo, which covered up a musical note that once decorated her ankle. "Back in the day, they would carve into the walls and they would carve a falcon," explained RiRi, "because they didn't have another way of saying a king in the sky."

Rihanna went Arabic for the tat on her left ribcage. It reportedly translates to "freedom in God."
