Rihanna must have REALLY loved her grandmother. The sexy singer has revealed her latest ink on Instagram -- a huge tattoo of the Egyptian goddess Isis painted (where else?) beneath her breasts and dedicated to her grandma.

"Goddess Isis–Complete Woman– Model for future generations – #GRANGRANDOLLY – always in and on my heart #1love," she wrote, referring to her grandmother, Clara "Dolly" Braithwaite, who reportedly died of cancer on July 1. That's quite a tribute! Do you think Rihanna's body art is a sweet way to honor her grandma? Or an ugly, over-the-top monstrosity that she will someday regret?

I have nothing against tattoos that represent or are in honor of a loved one... But I am really not getting the connection between Isis resting under her breast and her grandma.... but if it makes sense to her whatever.

Tattoos should be personal with meaning. That's exactly what this one is. It's sweet.

In what way does an Egyptian goddess resembles her granny? people in Hollywood take other cultural refrenses too lightly

I think there are better ways to honor a love one's passing than branding oneself. Not bad though.

Not a lot of grandparents support it.

Quit making a mountain out of a molehill. It's beautiful ink with a beautiful meaning. Nothing more. The area may put people off, but if you think about, and if you've seen the photos Rihanna's posted of herself with her Gran Gran Dolly, you'd see how much she loved her, and for a tattoo that size, below and in between her breasts, it's Rihanna keeping her Gran Gran close to her heart.

Sweet if you don't mind such a thing... however, my Dad said that he would be pissed if any of his kids got a tat to honour or remember him by... said if you need to do that, don't bother...

It's not considered abnormal to get tattoos to honour passed family and close friends. It's a lot more respectable than most tattoos that celebrities are getting these days.

I think Grammy would be happier with Rhianna staying the heck away from Chris Brown.

edit: With her $$ you'd think she'd have a better artist do the work. That's NOT high quality ink, IMHO.

All she needs now is a 'punch here' tattoo on her face.
