Rihanna has revealed her favourite tattoo is the one she had inked on her chest. As she pulls a sexy pose in a pair of fishnets for the cover of FHM Australia, the singer says inside the magazine that she loves the tattoo which reads: “Never a failure, always a lesson”.

The star says she had the tattoo spelt backwards so she could read it herself in a mirror. In the new interview, Rihanna also said she enjoyed filming her role as a character called Raikes in the new sci-fi movie, Battleship. However, she did have a 'scary' drill officer from the military train her how to use weapons. She told FHM: “It was so scary. It was horrible. I just wanted to scream right back at him, but I couldn’t.'
