Snooki Shows Off Her SIXTH Tattoo – A FIERCE Leopard

(iWIDK by Cheyenne Pons) – One star is going into the New Year with some new ink.

MTV’s Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi shared her 6th tattoo to the world – a “fierce” leopard on her left shoulder.

According to VH1, when Snooki shared the photo, she posted a lengthy explanation of the meaning behind the tattoo.

The 25-year-old reality star wrote: “I got this last week when we shot our final Jersey Shore reunion. My fierce leopard tattoo. I wanted to get this because to me it represents being a strong independent woman, and obviously I love leopards/leopard print! The crown represents being a queen and being fabulous, and the wings represent everyone who has passed in my family. Anytime I can incorporate my loved ones who have passed, I do it!”

Snooki also revealed that the tattoo was done by Bryce Oprandi at a Los Angeles tattoo parlor called The Martlet Tattoo and will always remind her of being in L.A. and wrapping Jersey Shore.
