<span class="mw-page-title-main">Olympic tattoo</span> Athletic tradition of body art

Olympic tattoos are a tradition among athletes who compete in the Olympic Games of tattooing the five interlocking "Olympic rings". The practice dates back to at least the 1980s, when swimmer Chris Jacobs received a tattoo of the rings to commemorate his participation in the 1988 Seoul Games. The Olympic tattoo has since become common practice among individuals who compete in the Games. Cited reasons for the tattoo usually include a signal of status as an Olympian, a personal reminder of success, and a show of camaraderie with teammates. While the tattoos are typically done by athletes who compete in the Games, others may sometimes obtain the artwork, such as parents of athletes.
