Since the summer Olympics are going on right now in Beijing I thought it would
be appropriate to write about tattoos and the Olympics. Also I’ve just started
getting into the Olympics and I have noticed a little pattern myself. You might
be scratching your head at this point because you are not sure what tattoo’s
and the Olympics have in common. Well the truth be told that a lot of Olympians
actually have their tattoo location planned out a head of time,
to ensure that
their tattoo will be shown off to the world.
For instance a lot of Olympians will get tattoos of the Olympic rings tattooed
somewhere on their body that will be seen and noticed depending on the sport
they are competing in. Take Wrestlers for instance, they have been known to put
Olympic ring tattoos or some other tattoo on the inside of their arms. The
reason behind this is so, when the arm is lifted following a victory, it can be
seen. Swimmers on the other hand like to get tattoos on their backs so they can
be seen when they are in the water. Or take the archery competitors, they have
thought this one out even more so than the others. They will get tattoos on the
outside of their right arm. The reason behind this is when the archers are in
shooting position, the camera catches the tattoos perfectly.
Another pattern that I have noticed while watching the Olympics is whenever an
Olympian has a tattoo and it is noticeable the announcers. They will talk about
the tattoo and share the story behind it and what it means to that particular
athlete. So it just goes to show that these athletes are not only proud of the
sport they are competing in but they are proud of their tattoos as well.
