Rihanna has paid tribute to her late grandmother with a tattoo of Goddess Isis.

The Bajan singer, who performed at the closing ceremony of the London Paralympics last night, posted a revealing snapshot on Instagram of the etching on her chest between her breasts.

Holding her arm across her bare cleavage for modesty, a large image of the Egyptian goddess Isis can be seen, kneeling with her wings spread and spanning across Rihanna’s ribcage.

Alongside the picture, Rihanna tweeted: ‘Goddess Isis – Complete Woman – Model for future generations – #GRANGRANDOLLY – always in and on my heart.’

Isis is said to be ‘the ideal mother and wife’ as well as friend to slaves, sinners and the downtrodden.

In July, the chart-topper’s grandmother passed away following a long battle with cancer.
