Lena Dunham Tattoo A Rihanna Nod? ‘Girls’ Star Goes Topless On Instagram


Lena Dunham went topless on Instagram last week to show off her new chest tattoo — but is it a Rihanna rip-off?

The Girls creator and star shocked her Instagram followers with a brand new chest piece — endearingly called a “t*t chandelier” by Dunham — that’s placed just below the breast. Perhaps beating her detractors to the punch, Lena even admitted her new tattoo copies Rihanna’s placement. Do you think the two tattoos are too similar?

Fans of Lena Dunham are well aware of the actress’ numerous other tattoos, namely the body decorations at her back and right arm. In her topless Instagram post, Dunham touted her new chest tattoo as the work a certain female tattoo artist, commending the creative inker for not scolding her when aping Rihanna’s breast decoration.

In an AOL News article about Lena Dunham’s topless tattoo post, the entertainment news site riffed on Dunham’s new ink, highlighting its apparent smilarity to Rihanna’s “iconic wings tattoo.” Indeed, while Rihanna’s tat does share identical body placement to Lena’s, the “Love on the Brain” singer’s ink purportedly portrays the Egyptian goddess Isis. Contrariwise, Dunham’s new breast tattoo exhibits a decorative chandelier design.

“The Girls creator and star took to Instagram on Thursday night to share the photo of her new chandelier tattoo that she got inked just below her breasts.”

According to Vogue, Lena’s new chest piece comes “straight from the Rihanna playbook.” The fashion news site confirmed that Dunham’s fresh body decoration was inked by Norway-based artist Trine Grimm, while offering further information regarding the Girls star’s past tattoos. Reportedly, Dunham has a skater girl tat “skidding over her endometriosis surgery scar” and the word “staunch” is said to be permanently imprinted on her wrist.
