Team Canada athletes get inked following Rio 2016
Getting an Olympic rings tattoo is a post-Games tradition many Rio 2016 athletes looked forward to after making their Olympic debut.
Here’s a look at some first-time Olympians’ new ink.
Penny Oleksiak – Swimming
Not many 16-year-olds have their parent’s permission to get a tattoo, but it’s hard to say no to an Olympic record holder who brought home four Rio 2016 medals.
Taylor Ruck – Swimming
Oleksiak won’t be the only Olympian sporting a new tattoo in high school, her teammate Taylor Ruck also got some new ink to celebrate her Rio 2016 hardware.

Our tattoo post wouldn’t be complete without showing off ink veteran Jen Kish‘s new piece. The captain of the women’s rugby team is known for her impressive body art, and did not disappoint with her Rio 2016 torch inspired tattoo.
