Rihanna - Even if a tattoo doesn’t have a true meaning, for some, it can be a permanent accessory and women have chosen many sexy spots to show off their body art. We love that Rihanna turned pain into a positive with a tattoo that reads: Never a failure. Always a lesson. Written in a mirror image, her permanent and powerful motto is located under her right collarbone. Rihanna explained, “Instead of considering things to be mistakes, consider them lessons.” (Photo: Robert Pitts/Landov)
