Simone Biles Gets ‘J’ Tattoo On Ring Finger, Apparent Homage To Jonathan Owens
Simone Biles took some time from her post-Olympics tour this week to get a new finger tattoo … and, check it out, it seems to be a tribute to Jonathan Owens.
The seven-time gold medalist stopped by Sydney Smith‘s shop in Phoenix, Ariz. while on a brief break from her appearances in the Gold Over America shows … and she first got a tiny “J” etched into her left hand.
While it’s unclear exactly what the significance of it is … the safe guess appears to be it’s an homage to her NFL player husband’s first initial.
Smith tells us in addition to the letter, she also hooked Biles up with a neck tattoo that read, “Made In Heaven.”
Smith said each piece took about 90 minutes to complete … and explained the meetup all came about after the two had exchanged some direct messages on social media.
“It was a great experience,” Smith said of inking Biles, “but I treat all of my clients the same. It’s always a good time getting to do what I love every day!”
Biles wasn’t the only Olympian on the tour to get some fresh tats … Shane Wiskus and Casimir Schmidt got in on the fun as well, going under Jesse Tattoo‘s needle.
We’re told Team USA’s Wiskus got a tarot card on his leg … while Schmidt got the No. 13 on his arm.
