When Chris Brown appeared in public last week with a smudged tattoo of a woman’s face on his neck, speculation was rife that it showed the battered face of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, said EOnline.com.

The tattoo is actually a mashup of a Mexican “sugar skull” and a cosmetics design. “It is not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported,” said Brown’s rep. “It is peeling right now.”
