Think what you’d like about Rihanna’s horrible Grammys
weekend of 2009 … but she’s moved on completely from that dark period in her
life. And in a very candid new interview with Elle U.K., the “Stay” singer is
opening up about how she feels more empowered than ever right now.
In new photos for the mag shot in Paris by Mariano
Vivanco, Rihanna prominently displays the gun tattoo that she inked on the
right side of her torso just months after she was beaten up by boyfriend Chris
Brown. "Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a
drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No," she tells
the mag. "That's why I got the gun. It was a symbol of strength. I'll
never be a victim."
And that’s not the only gun tattoo that Rihanna, who just
turned 25 last week, has on her body. She also sports an Egyptian-like falcon
in the shape of a gun on one of her feet, ink that she got last summer just
days after Brown got in a scuffle with the rapper Drake at a NYC nightclub. “Falcon
s--t!!!!” she tweeted in June 2012, following up with, “Falcon: a light that
shines in the darkness! Never close their eyes during sleep.”
Rihanna talks with Elle U.K. reporter Mark Allen about
how this period in her life feels like a “fresh start” with Brown, and goes on
to say that in five years, she sees herself with a child … which we can only
assume she’d want with her “Don’t Wake Me Up” singer beau.
"I will probably have a kid," she tells the
mag. "Right now, that's just what we want, a great friendship, that's
unbreakable," she continues. "Now that we're adults we can do this
right. We got a fresh start and we're thankful for that."
