New year, new tattoo for 'Jersey Shore’s' Snooki

Snooki opened up about her new tattoo, a leopard with a crown and wings, claiming it is representative of her being a fiercely strong and independent woman.

In her Celebuzz blog, Snooki reveals that she got the ink in Los Angeles at The Martlet Tattoo last week while shooting the final reunion show for her reality show, Jersey Shore. Besides her fiancé, Jionni LaValle, no one else has seen the tattoo yet. She further tells the significance behind the creative design, a leopard with wings and a crown. Beyond her obsession with anything animal print, the leopard shows she is a “strong, independent woman.” Moreover, the crown says she is a “fabulous queen” while the wings are symbolic of her loved ones who have passed away and are now angels watching over her.

What are Snooki’s resolutions for 2013? We know one of her biggest goals is to get married. Early Monday morning, the guidette took to Twitter to show her appreciation for the two loves of her life, her fiancé Jionni and her son Lorenzo. “I LOVE U! Ur amazing and you made my 2012 AMAZING! Thank u for giving me Lorenzo, I love my family. NOW LETS GET MARRIED!@jlavalle”
