To me, it looks more like a Love Symbol with a crown.

I was trying to figure out what was above the symbol....maybe that's an umbrella with purple rain falling above it?

Okay, now I see it. It's an umbrella with purple rain and it has a Love Symbol handle. I heart it!! And, I heart Ms. Delores' youthful spirit.

No and no. Unless you went out and got a Prince tattoo right after seeing this.
