Jersey Shore star Jenni Farley, better known as Jwoww, has debuted a new tattoo on the cover of the conveniently named ‘Inked’ magazine. Jwoww now has a large image of a tiger located on her right hip. This will be the second of her two larger tattoos, rivaling the dragon on her rib cage.
According to an interview by Inked, Jwoww wanted a new tattoo to complement the dragon she already had on her hipbone. A tiger and dragon represent good and evil, so the tiger is meant to balance out the other side of her body. As an art student in college herself, Jenni tries to find the meaning behind symbols and express herself in art, art that happens to appear on her body.
Personally, I don’t see the meaning behind her tattoos all that much…. but what really matters is that Jwoww herself believes in them and got the tattoos with a purpose in mind rather than just because she felt like it. As long as she is happy, who are we to judge?
Lovelies, what is your take on Jwoww’s new ink? Would you get a tattoo similar to hers?

Legends from the orient state that dragon’s counterbalance is the phoenix. I don’t get the tiger much.

I’m shocked. I actually really like the way these look. They do balance. I came here fully expecting to see something atrocious, and okay, I did with her outfit, but the tattoos look good.

Actually if you want to talk balance. Jwoww actually got her information right in some ways. Dragons and Phoenix are more defined as status, a representation of wealth and happiness. Like how the emperor of China would be represented as the “son” of the dragon and the empress would be represented as the phoenix, mate of the dragon (both characters represents the highest rank). There’s more to the whole dragon and phoenix but I’m not going into it cause there’s way too much history to it.
Dragons and tigers, on the other hand, represent light and dark. It doesn’t necessarily represent good and evil though but more so of heaven (dragon) and earth (tiger), thus allowing balance of ying and yang concept to come into the picture.

The fuck? Those pictures are so unflattering and awful I can’t even focus on the tattoos…

I find myself trying to look at a very nice car and not being able to get a great view of it. I can’t really make out the tattoos, and they were obviously not the point of the photo shoot anyway. Thoroughly disappointing.

lol if she got it because she felt like it its still her body and noone has a say in why we do the things we doo
