Rihanna 'Wanted A Tattoo On Her Face'

Rihanna has revealed she once wanted a tattoo on her face but the artist refused to etch the design onto her skin.

The Bajan babe made the confession during an interview with GQ magazine, with RiRi also posing naked for the December issue of the publication.

Speaking of her request, she explained: "The tattoo artist said, 'Nope, I'm not gonna do it. Because if you're looking at your face, it's right there staring at you'."

In the same interview, the Diamonds singer also discussed her sex symbol status, stating that it comes from her roots: "That comes from my culture, [sex appeal].

"That's just the way it's always been, and I think that for people, especially in America, they make it like the forbidden fruit, but that only makes kids more curious."

"I was a lot more naïve about the way I moved and the way I was being perceived. The more you hear people talk about 'Oh, you're a sex symbol,' it just makes you think, 'Why are you saying that?' And I figured it out."

Earlier this week, Rihanna confirmed a string of UK dates as part of her Diamonds world tour, which will see the We Found Love singer hit our shores in June 2013.
