An Updated Guide To The 'Jersey Shore' Cast's Tattoos

Since we unveiled our Comprehensive Guide to the "Jersey Shore" cast's tattoos back in February 2011, a lot has changed. At that moment, the guido gang was on the cusp of jumping from cultural oddity to mega-stardom. Deena was an unknown X-factor and Team Meatball was still what they called Sunday dinner. Now, just over a year later, they're all international celebrities with their own endorsements, fragrances and spin-off shows.

With increased fame and fortune comes more tattoos. Didn't Andy Warhol say that? In classic tatorexic fashion, some of our favorite castmates decided to document this roller-coaster ride with some new ink. While Sammi and The Situation still haven't corrupted their dermis layers (at least, that's what they claim), and it appears Pauly D has just simply run out of room (or he's too busy DJing), there's plenty of new ink to analyze. So here's your updated comprehensive guide to the "Jersey Shore" cast's newest tattoos.

Vinny

"Let Go Let God"
Where: Chest
Meaning: "This is what happens when I'm allowed to stray from the confines of the shore house."

Animal-print stars with purple crown and bow
Where: Left shoulder
Meaning: Life is fleeting, like a shooting star, or a pair of leopard print undies. As for the crown, there was some controversy because it magically bounced from Snooki's right shoulder to her left shoulder after she first got it. And we have to admit, it does look a little like the airbrush paint used on boardwalk T-shirts.

"Tell me I can't...and I'll show you I can."
Where: Both feet
Meaning: Deena's new perma-quote probably immortalizes what she told the host at a family restaurant before Jersey Turnpiking on top of a table.
