Tattoos are a work of art that often hold grave significance to those inked. One athlete who possesses an undying love for tattoos is Caeleb Dressel. During the Olympics, he showcased his great physique and the unique tattoos on his arms. Similarly, Simone Biles is an avid tattoo lover too; but what do her tattoos signify?

Simone has five tattoos in total, some of which are purely out of her love for those symbols or words. One such famous tattoo is her collarbone tattoo.

Simone Biles collarbone tattoo explained

The famous gymnast, who was expected to shine at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, to much surprise, withdrew from certain events. After struggling with high expectations leading to mental pressure, Biles prioritized her mental health over Olympic glory and withdrew her participation.

Fittingly, her current tattoo is perfect for her magnificent personality. From all the adversities and the troubles she went through, she inked the words of a famous poem by Maya Angelou named ‘Still I Rise.’

The poem speaks about the importance of self-confidence and self-respect, despite all the criticisms one receives. Angelou’s work in literature is well respected around the world. Some of her famous poems are ‘Phenomenal Women’ and ‘Just for a Time’.

Simone’s first tattoo is an Olympics rings tattoo underneath her right arm, celebrating her glorious debut at the mega-quadrennial games. She has a tattoo of her birth year, 1997, inked on her elbow. Another tattoo visible is on her inner left wrist. That has the words ‘golden’ etched on her hands; however, she has not unveiled what it means yet.

She inked the last one on her inner lip. While this tattoo reads XO, it certainly is not entirely visible. Which tattoo do you think Simone holds the deepest sentiment for?
