She's not afraid of the tattooist's needle, having had an array of etchings inked all over her body.
But Miley Cyrus's choice for her new tattoo might come as a surprise to some, who perhaps were unaware of the teenager's interest in politics.
Miley debuted the new inking yesterday, with eagle-eyed fans spotting that the phrase is a quote from former President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt.
The tattoo, which features on 19-year-old Miley's left forearm, reads: 'So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.'
The quote is taken from Roosevelt's speech which he made at the the Sorbonne, Paris, on April 23rd 1910.
The full speech reads: 'It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
'The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.'
Miley's debut of the new inking came as she also changed her Twitter profile to feature a cute new picture of herself with fiancé Liam Hemsworth.
The black and white snap features Miley and Liam cuddling up, with the teenage singer placing her hand on her beau's chest to display her diamond engagement ring.
Earlier in the day, Miley had shared a touching picture on Twitter of herself giving her father Billy Ray Cyrus a hug.
The picture of the pair cuddling came amid reports that Billy is concerned about how young the engaged couple are - Liam is 22 - and he 'hopes the engagement will be very long.'
According to a Radar Online source, the 50-year-old star is said to be concerned about how young the engaged couple are - Liam is 22 - and he 'hopes the engagement will be very long.'
Cyrus divorced his first wife Cindy Smith before marrying Miley's mother Leticia 18 years ago, but the pair have had their ups and downs and almost divorced in 2010 before dropping the suit last year.
'All I ever hoped for as a Daddy was to see my kids reach their dreams. To find happiness…peace of mind …and someday know… true love,' the country singer tweeted last month.
