Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi's new ink is a tribute to motherhood.
The Jersey Shore star shared a picture of her newest tattoo on Instagram, and get your tissues ready. The tattoo reads, "Lorenzo, Giovanna, & Angelo" in black filigree script running down her forearm, so her kiddos will always be with her. "Obsessed with my new tattoo for my nuggets thank you to my mawma," she wrote in the caption.
Makeup artist Cara Lovello, and Snooki's podcast cohost Joey Camasta accompanied Snooki to the New Jersey tattoo studio INK Gallery for the fresh ink. "Work day with these nut jobs," she captioned their photo, so it's safe to say we'll be seeing her ink on the air.
Artist Tiffany Perez shared some photos of Snooki in the chair, writing, "My girl @snooki came through to get some new ink at the shop ..So much fun to be around. Thanks Nicole "

Snooki has three children with husband Jionni Lavelle, who also appeared on Jersey Shore. Her first child, Lorenzo, was born in 2012 when Snooki was 24 years old and living in Jionni's mother's basement. I was super nervous because it was my first child, she told Good Morning America. "Once I had Lorenzo, I knew what to do. I would tell myself to not be so nervous and stop stressing out because 'youre going to be fine.'"
Watch Snooki look back on some of her biggest 'hot mess' moments:
Her postpartum recovery from Angelo's birth on May 30 wasn't all smooth sailing. 4 days postpartum & body is feeling good besides the fact that my cramps still feel like contractions! she wrote on Instagram on June 3rd. Still healing but cant wait to jump back into the gym hardcore this summer! Time to be a fit mawma again for my nuggets.
