The ‘We Found Love’ singer was left devastated when her beloved gran, Clara ‘Dolly’ Braithwaite, passed away earlier this year and she has now paid tribute to her by having a large image of the Egyptian goddess Isis etched on her rib cage.
She posted a revealing photo of the new inking on her twitter page, with the accompanying words: “Goddess Isis – Complete Woman – Model for future generations – #GRANGRANDOLLY – always in and on my heart #1love. (sic)”
Isis is said to be “the ideal mother and wife” as well as friend to slaves, sinners and the downtrodden.
Following the death of ‘Dolly’, Rihanna – who has several other tattoos – flew back to her native Barbados to attend her funeral and say her final goodbyes.
At the time, she wrote on her twitter page: “Words can’t explain the essence of her beauty.”
Rihanna, 24, was recently pleading for ‘Dolly’ to contact her from beyond the grave.
She tweeted: “I wish u were here … Got so many questions and you always had answers #grangranDOLLY
“Send a message in the wind or something please #grangranDOLLY (sic)”
