Toni has not confirmed that her tattoo is a portrait of Medusa, however the drawing appears to be of a woman with long snake-like hair, fitting the profile of the mythological creature.

It is believed the Medusa tattoo is a symbol of strength, protection and female empowerment, or in some cases it can symbolise survival.
