Rita Ora’s Pin-Up Rib Cage Tattoo

In 2013, Ora expanded her tattoo collection further by adding Alberto Vargas's pin-up girl-inspired design on her right ribcage. The detailed artwork features a gorgeous semi-naked woman smelling a rose she's holding in one hand while caressing her bosom with another hand. During her 2014 cover story with Elle UK, Ora opened up about the empowering piece of ink, whom the popstar refers to as "Rosetta." "It's based on an original piece by Alberto Vargas, who was an incredible illustrator in the 1930s. He was one of the creators of the pin-up image. That's our build, our power," she said.

"That's why I was obsessed with it; learning what men don't understand about women and what women don't understand about men. I was obsessed with the painting a long time ago, and then I got it done six months ago."
