Different reactions have been seen on the internet to Simone Biles’ new tattoo. While some individuals thought the gesture was beautiful, others didn’t agree. She got her tattoo because her partner had done something similar earlier in 2024.
The fresh tattoos that gymnast superstar Simone Biles recently got done seem to pay special homage to her football player husband, Jonathan Owens. The Olympian’s tattoo artist revealed on social media the artwork she created for Biles; the model even shared it on a perfectly manicured finger. However, not every internet user thinks Biles made a wise choice getting a new tattoo.
On September 20, Sydney Smith, a tattoo artist and co-owner of SYZYGY Precision Tattooing, uploaded a video in which she disclosed Biles’ distinctive tattoo.
In the video, Biles’s husband Jonathan’s initial name, a little “J,” was seen when Smith carefully peeled off a thin white covering from her finger.
Smith positioned the “J” under what appeared to be Biles’ ring finger, just off-center. She then used a cotton patch to clean the tattoo.
In the Smith post’s comment section, Biles gushed about how much she loved her new tattoo, adding, “obsessed […] 🤎.” By voicing their own opinions, a few social media users joined her in criticizing the tattoo.
“Embarrassing,” a user commented on Instagram. The tattoo’s size drew criticism from someone who said, “It’s the smallest letter I’ve ever seen.” If you are blind or have vision issues, you cannot see it 😂😂😂.
Some people think that Biles and Owens’ recent tattoo foretells bad luck. “Oh no… that’s usually the worst luck for a relationship,” exclaimed one, while another muttered, “Bad luck.”
Still, among the scathing comments were a few compliments. This is very cute! One fan exclaimed, “I’d get it!” and another gasped, “Insane!!! 🔥.” After complimenting the tattoo on its great appearance, one individual commented, “Easy to cover.”
However, there were some complimentary notes thrown in as well. It’s quite cute! One fan exclaimed, “I’d get it!” and another gasped, “Insane!!! 🔥.” “Easy to cover” was another comment made by someone who had noticed the tattoo.
The fan comment above indicates that the gold medallist is not done getting tattoos. Smith recently finished one for her, which is a brand-new one.
On the back of her neck, Biles now has the phrase “Made in Heaven” permanently inscribed in all caps, as per a different video that Smith shared on Instagram on September 22.
Biles’s “J” tattoo was found to have been obtained by Owens more than two months earlier, in July of 2024. On her now-defunct Instagram Story, the NFL player’s wife shared a photo of the huge cursive “S” that Owens got inked on his ring finger.
In reaction to her husband’s tattoo, Biles superimposed two screaming, two red heart, and two crossed fingers emojis over the image. Although the actor did not explain what Owens’ tattoo meant, fans assumed that it was a dedication to Biles because it is the first letter of her name.
When Owens got his tattoo, he was in Paris assisting Biles with her Olympic preparations. The Chicago Bears player took a few days off from their training camp only to be there for her at the prestigious sporting event.
Jonathan Owens reportedly lavished his loving wife with pricey gifts before the Olympic trials, including pink roses and Louis Vuitton purses. Simone Biles posted a picture of Owens along with a statement about her presents on her now-defunct Instagram Story.
Just as he had helped her during her Olympic preparation in Paris, Owens showered Biles with honors upon her rise to become the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history. However, he faced considerable backlash online for his choice of how to honor Biles’ accomplishment.
Owens was by Biles’ side in France, thrilled about his wife’s remarkable accomplishment. On social media, he paid heartfelt gratitude to her historic win.
Owens posted a cute photo of the two in the vibrant Parisian scene, but he couldn’t help but feel a little proud of them. In the picture, he lovingly wore Biles’ gold medal around his neck as they basked in each other’s happiness.
“Observing history every time you step on the mat 😍🔥,” Owens wrote as the description for his post. He continued to praise his famous wife, writing, “Congrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!!” Amazing, really! There were eight of them! I am so appreciative that I saw that.
Biles’s replies, “Means the world you’re here” and “My whole heart.” expressed her gratitude. “I cherish you ❤️❤️❤️.” In the comments section, several questioned Owens’ decision to wear Biles’ medal.
“What makes him hold it as though he’s won it?” stated a single individual. Another person remarked, “Give the medal back, bby, that’s not yours [sic].”
A handful of them said very loudly, “That’s Simone’s gold medal you’re holding, not yours, my guy.” and “There’s something really unpleasant about you wearing her medal.” It seemed peculiar.
A particularly furious user said, “Give it back to her immediately 🥇.” Meanwhile, a bewildered commenter asked, “Is he purposely causing trouble? Very significant question.
Online users had already retaliated against Owens. In December 2023, the NFL star made controversial comments about his connection with Biles during an appearance on the “The Pivot” podcast, which brought him unwanted attention.
To a query about how the two initially got together, Owens revealed that, in 2020, when they joined the dating app Raya, he had no idea who Biles was, even though she was well-known.
Things became even hotter when Owens was asked if he saw himself as “the catch” in their relationship. He said, “I always say that the men are the catch,” in a cunning way. Owens admitted that he was first hesitant to commit to Biles but that he eventually developed feelings for her.
His comments on the Olympic great drew criticism from fans, and they created quite the online uproar. In April of this year, Biles defended her husband in an interview on the podcast “Call Her Daddy.”
Biles responded to the viral incident by saying that she was there for the interview and that she laughed and rolled her eyes when the camera was on her.
She clarified that rather than suggesting she wasn’t a catch, Owens was emphasizing his own worth. In addition, Biles praised her husband, stating that he loves her and that she has never met someone like him. The Olympic legend even went so far as to respond to her critics on her X account with a lighthearted post.
With regard to Owens, he waved off the criticism. It wasn’t until later that he realized what was going on because he wasn’t getting any notifications from social media.
When he found out, he responded by sending Biles many romantic photos along with the caption, “Unbothered 😂❤️.” Kindly note that we are currently locked in 🤞🏽.
