If I saw that tattoo on anyone else, I would not suspect any relation to domestic abuse, not in a million years.

That's because Chris Brown has (hopefully) forever labeled himself as the dude who beats the poo poo out of women. If instead of beating Rihanna, Brown had got caught loving a dog, and then later got a tattoo of a man wrestling a wolf, it wouldn't be surprising if a lot people thought the tattoo looked like a man loving a dog. Because that would be the first thing they thought of when they see Chris Brown.

What use had they for tricks and cunning, living in the enemy's warren and paying his price?

Somewhere Ike Turner is seriously pissed off, because whenever people mention Ike Turner, it's always tied to the words 'beat the poo poo out of Tina.' But Chris Brown gets a pass somehow. Ike, you know what you need to do.

For those who say 'psh, Rihanna forgives him,' as far as I remember he's never actually apologized for poo poo. He reminds me of a real-life Ethan from CAD.

Seriously Ike go beat his rear end. Maybe film it while yelling, "This is how a man beats a bitch, this is how a man beats a bitch!'

Don't misunderstand me, what you're saying does happen all the time. But let's not go assuming we know the situation 100%, because Rihanna broke off the relationship with him immediately after the incident, and forgave him only recently.

It's Rihanna being in denial. Presumably they come to some kind of understanding and now they've made up. Let's not go assuming we know better than the actual person in the situation. All I'm trying to get across is how loving annoying it is to see goons jump the gun when their celebrity punching bag of the week makes headlines, even when it's a non-issue. Like this time.

Then he shouldn't have got it on his loving NECK then. Knowing chris brown beat the poo poo of out her, and seeing a "woman tattoo" On his neck, My brain is going to see the worst poo poo. On anyone else that wouldn't be the case.

Just because the victim has moved on doesn't erase what was done to them. If you don't give a poo poo anymore, hey, whatever, but it's not unreasonable to still find Brown's actions objectionable.

I love sugar skull designs. Any tattoo artist with a loving crayon and notepad can doodle one. But Chris Brown has such poor taste in general, I guess he just didn't give a gently caress how it looked, right? Oh no, I've fallen for his story fuuckk.

We would hope that those people who gently caress up would apologize, especially when in such a position of influence; Chris Brown's defensive behavior and refusal to accept his actions has led to his ardent fans (a large enough group) believing that Rihanna asked for it and that all criticism of his actions is invalid, chalked up to the haters.

It's really sad that he's been able to build this perfect con: his publicist provides him with a steady stream of divisive actions. His behavior incenses the haters by its blatant disrespect but also comes with an explanation that the brainwashed Team Breezy can parrot and use to strengthen their persecution complexes. Even if Chris Brown only has three more of these stunts left before he goes over the top, (even though there are probably many more,) he has made enough money to retire from fame completely for the rest of his life. It’s a win-win that can’t go wrong, unless his inherent shitbirdiness breaks through and he starts punting dyslexic kittens or something.

EDIT: oh all this AND his songs are super catchy and he's a great dancer, supplementing his visibility.

It's kinda funny, cause Ike was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame while he was in jail over a drug beef and even won a Grammy shortly before his death. The difference is of course that Ike had some form of serious punishment thrown at him for what he did.

Any tattoo artist who wants to be put in the spotlight. And it's a pretty sustainable one, judging by Chris Brown's example.

edit: Yeah, the artist, one Peter K, is weathering the exact same storm Chris is, reciting the same excuse. He'll do just fine.

Are you, like, somehow not aware that victims of abuse "forgiving" and returning to their abusers, due to having accepted the violence as their new 'normal' and internalizing a belief that their abuse is somehow their own fault, is a well known psychological phenomenon? I mean have you literally never even seen a poster for a domestic abuse hotline or a PSA about domestic abuse? Convincing the victim it's not their fault and that they need to stop forgiving their abuser is basically step one.


What I'm saying here is that rhianna is an adult and can make her own decisions but you're a loving idiot if you think an abuse victim forgiving their abuser means that you should go "oh, OK, I guess he was an alright person after all"
