The TRUTH About @ChrisBrown's New Tattoo: Apologies to Chris & Rih Anyone?

This is long- I apologize, but I hope you will read it all.

Today I woke up to news reports on almost every blog I thought I respected about Chris Brown having tattooed a battered woman on his neck. At first glance of this "new" tattoo I drew a couple of conclusions. My first was how I blogged this last week- old news, I thought. My second realization was how so many entertainment sources jump on each other's stories without doing any research of their own.

I prepared myself for the slander and bashing that would ensue on my timeline on twitter and told myself I wouldnt respond, but my heart and conscience couldnt allow me to sit by as people sent THE most hateful comments to Chris based solely off of their assumptions.. and incorrect assumptions at that. There are some stories even reaching to say the tattoo is of a battered Rihanna.. so as if insulting Chris isn't enough, they felt the need to drag Rihanna into their delusion as well.

Being that I am all for FACT.. I did a little research on this tattoo. I follow Chris on Instagram and clearly remember him liking a piece of art (as he often does)of a very similar image just before he got the tattoo.

After doing more research the image above and that found on Chris' neck is a very familiar one- if you look closely. In the Mexican culture, there is a holiday celebrated called, Day of the Dead -similar to the Christian celebration of "All Saints Day". Now, you can research this indepth if you'd like, but they basically come together to remember the loved one's they've lost. - The reality though- is even my findings are an assumption-only Chris knows what his tatt is of.

There are images, festivals, and unique rituals that are attributed to this occasion. - Some Americanized a bit of course- as we do everything.. but some of this artistry appears to be the inspiration behind Chris' latest tattoo. One search on Google of  "Day of the Dead art woman's face" and BOOM... there is a possible- positive explanation of Chris' new art. Now- what sparked him to get a tattoo of an image reflecting something of what could be considered Mexican heritage, I dont know and honestly.. I don't care. I am not saying it is legit Mexican art- what I AM saying is the resemblance is stronger to these DoD face painting images than a battered woman's face.

It is obvious that this tattoo is only of a battered woman because some people have vowed to make negative EVERYTHING that Chris Brown does, and others just take whatever theyre given.

As a blogger I urge my fellow media outlets to be very careful of the hatred you perpetuate in titles/blogs. You reach a lot of people in one instant. People, who find you a reputable source even when YOU know you simply took a story from another source without doing your own research. I pray for the people who jumped to a state of hateful energy from an assumption. This isn't meant to bash any other blog/blogger/person.. please receive it in the spirit it was given, which was simply observation and respect.

I do wonder how many of  you will be bold enough to recant/apologize to Chris, Rihanna, myself (yes even attempts to insult me were made), and others who they attacked for not jumping on the latest "lets bash Chris Brown bandwagon". You know, there was a lot of positive news to come out about Chris in the past couple of weeks. Charity work that he has done low key for years has come forward. I never saw the regular CB bashers congratulate any of that. It's sad that people are so quick to promote/respond to negativity- and based on assumption at that.

People remember.. bad decisions are made everyday by young people. It does not mean they are evil or bad for forever. It is in your power to share positivity and love in this world. It is in your power to forgive. You are not perfect and to expect perfection from anybody is unrealistic.

Team Breezy you choose what information you will share about your fave celebrity. Some of you love to RT/share the negative stories and it's hard as heck sometimes to get people to share my positive ones. Im not saying that so you'll big up my blog. While I appreciate it, my promotion comes from God.. but the fact still remains- energy flows where attention goes. If you'll share as much positivity to/about Chris and ignore the negative- there are enough of you to outshine the B.S. You all have a blessed day. xo

Other Examples of Day of the Dead Face Art- Notice the darkened eye, swirls on face, and very common stitched lip effect.. also seen on Chris' tattoo commemorating the appearance of death or skeleton.
