The singer debuted the ink at an event in Las Vegas on 1 September.
The tattoo, which is on the singer's neck, bares a shocking resemblance to his ex-girlfriend Rihanna after he assaulted her in 2009.
According to TMZ, sources close to the singer have claimed that the similarities between the tattoo and Rhianna are purely coincidental and that it was in fact 'just a random woman'.

This 'random woman' in the tattoo clearly has a black eye and stitches on her lip, injuries sustained by Rihanna after the assault.
Chris Brown is yet to speak out about the allegations.

The 'Don't wake me Up' singer was seen with Rihanna at the VMA's last week.
The pair sparked rumours that they may be rekindling their romance after they were spotted kissing and hugging at the event.
Last month, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Rihanna admitted that she was still close with Brown.
She said: "He was my first love. Now we're very close friends. And that's not anything we're going to try to change."
Earlier this week, Rihanna unveiled a tattoo of her own in memory of her deceased Grandmother.
