Simone Biles Could Add Another Olympics Tattoo After Paris Games

Simone Biles may be thinking about adding some 2024 Paris Olympics-inspired ink.

The 27-year-old gymnast, who won a gold medal in the women’s all-around final— a title she first claimed at the 2016 Rio Olympics—hinted at the idea during a recent Get Ready With Me (GRWM) video. As she applied makeup, Biles shared that she might commemorate her third Olympics with a new tattoo.

“I also haven’t decided if I’m going to get a tattoo after this,” she said in the clip, which was filmed before her latest victory. “I already have the Olympic rings, but maybe something as an ode to Paris. I’m not sure.”

According to Teen Vogue, Biles already sports the Olympic rings, which she got inked in March 2017. Her other tattoos include the phrase “And still I rise,” her birth year, 1997, two tiny butterflies, and the words “Golden” and “XO,” as reported by POPSUGAR.

Biles opened up about the meaning behind her “And still I rise” tattoo in her Netflix series, *Simone Biles Rising.*

“Before I got this tattoo, it was a saying that I loved — obviously, Maya Angelou — and I was like, ‘And still I rise is perfect,’ because I feel like that’s kind of the epitome of my career and my life story,” she said. “Because I always rise to the occasion, and after all of the traumas and downfalls, I’ve always risen.”

It’s no surprise that Biles might get new body art following the Olympics. She and her teammates Jade Carey, Sunisa “Suni” Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera also won gold in the women’s gymnastics team final.

After being forced to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympics due to the disorienting condition known as the twisties, competing alongside her teammates was an achievement in itself.

“At the beginning of the day, I started off with therapy this morning, so that was super exciting. I told [my therapist] I was feeling calm and ready, and that’s kind of exactly what happened,” she told reporters, including PEOPLE, at a press conference following the women’s team final.

“After I finished vault, I was relieved. I was like, ‘Phew,’ because [there were] no flashbacks or anything,” said Biles. “I did feel a lot of relief, and as soon as I landed vault, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m definitely — we’re going to do this.’ ”
