Chris Brown's Neck Tattoo Is Not of Rihanna

Chris Brown's new neck ink may bear some resemblance to photos of his ex-girlfriend after his 2009 attack on her, but a rep for Brown confirmed to ABCNews.com that the tattoo is not of Rihanna.

Rumors about the couple rekindling their relationship heated up again after last week's MTV Video Music Awards, when Rihanna gave Brown a kiss while walking through the audience. Both took home Moon Man trophies that night.

Whatever the status of their relationship, Brown is still keeping up with the organization he began working with following his assault on Rihanna. Last week in Los Angeles, he headlined a back to school festival for children associated with the Jenesse Center, a national non-profit domestic violence intervention and prevention organization.
