Simone Biles, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist, recently added a new piece of body art to her collection during a break from her “Gold Over America” tour. The tattoo, a small “J” on her left hand, has fans speculating that it’s a tribute to her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens.

Biles made her way to Syzygy Precision Tattooing in Phoenix, Arizona, where she was inked by artist Sydney Smith. Along with the delicate “J” on her finger, she also got a neck tattoo reading “Made in Heaven,” further enhancing her collection of body art. Smith shared that the entire session took about 90 minutes, with both tattoos completed during Biles‘ brief downtime from the tour.

While Biles hasn’t explicitly confirmed the significance of the “J,” many believe it’s a heartfelt homage to Owens, whom she married earlier this year. The NFL player, known for his role with the Green Bay Packers, has been a significant part of Biles‘ life, and this tattoo appears to be a loving reminder of their bond.

More than just a tat

This isn’t the first time Biles has used tattoos as a form of self-expression. With each piece, she adds a layer of personal significance to her journey, both as an athlete and a public figure. While her Olympic medals symbolize her strength and success, these tattoos tell a more intimate story.

Tattoo artist Sydney Smith described the experience of working with Biles as a special moment, though she emphasized treating all clients with the same level of care and respect. “It was a great experience, but I treat all of my clients the same. It’s always a good time getting to do what I love every day!” Smith shared after the session.

Olympians getting inked

Biles wasn’t the only Olympian from the tour to get some fresh ink. Fellow athletes Shane Wiskus and Casimir Schmidt joined in, each opting for unique designs. Wiskus chose a tarot card tattoo on his leg, while Schmidt went for the number 13 on his arm.

The tattoo session was clearly a fun and meaningful break for the athletes, adding to the camaraderie built on their post-Olympics journey. With the “Gold Over America” tour continuing, fans will be watching to see if Biles adds any more ink to her growing collection.
