Athletes, tourists get Olympic tattoos in London

LONDON — The British capital is awash in Olympic ink — tattoo ink, that is.

At Olympic venues around London, competitors flaunt marks of blood, sweat, tears — and hopefully glory — on toned arms, hips and torsos.

But tattoos of the iconic Olympic logo — the five interlocked rings — aren't just for the world's top athletes. Amateurs, performers at the opening ceremony and tourists as well have been inspired to get the Olympic spirit under their skin.
