All of the Best Athlete Tattoos We’ve Spotted at the Paris Olympics So Far

Even if sports aren’t usually your thing, there are plenty of reasons to tune into this year’s Paris Olympics. Other than the obvious fact that it’s incredible to see the world’s top athletes vying for gold, this quadrennial event is also a visual spectacle: So far, we’ve spotted show-stopping makeup and manicures, Swarovski-encrusted uniforms, super stylish sneakers, and a bunch of badass tattoos in action.

One of the cool things about the Summer Games is that there’s a lot more skin on display—which makes it easier to see all the spectacular ink. Whether they’ve got full-on sleeves or more subtle tributes to their sport, these athletes are upping the “wow” factor in competitions that are already extremely impressive.

Below, we’ve rounded up photos of our favorite tattoos from this year’s Games so far (and be sure to come back here for more elite body art as the Olympics go on).
