The Olympic games are on and body art is in full exposure.
Trending tattoo searches for Olympic athletes like Michael Phelps and his hip bone Olympic ring tattoo continue to rise along with a steady ring-inking tend that is slowly taking over London tattoo shops.
Traditionally, popular recipients of the Olympic 5 ring tattoos include avid sports fans and those involved in the games; but this year business in London is picking up as tourists and locals who want to show love for the host city are requesting ring tattoos from local shops.
Michael Phelps placed his Olympic rings on his hip,while Ryan Lochte and Matthew Grevers sport Olympic ring tattoos on their biceps.
Originally representing the 5 continents that first took part in the first Olympic games, other Olympic theme tattoo ideas include torch tattoos and flags. Rather than a ring design why not ink an eternal flame?
For a quote tattoo you can opt for the three simple Latin words that sum up the Olympic motto and spirit; "Citius, Altius, Fortius." In other words, "Faster, Higher and Stronger".
On with the Games!
