Simone Biles is one tough lady. The record-breaking Olympic gold medalist endures pain better than most as she throws her body in the air and executes jaw-dropping flips, which isn’t easy on the body. Simone also has a pain-enhanced hobby as the professional athlete has gotten six tattoos so far.

The Texas native has lived an extraordinary life at such a young age and has also experienced heart wrenching traumas. All that said, some of her meaningful pieces of body ink are tributes to her trials and tribulations – like her Maya Angelou “Still I Rise” tattoo.

“I feel like that’s kind of the epitome of my career and my life story because I’ve always rise[n] to the occasion,” Simone said in the Simone Biles Rising Netflix documentary.

Simone revealed that she had “XO” written on her inner bottom lip in August 2018.

“It’s a little faded. I need to get it touched up,” she told NBC Sports at the time. “I’ve always wanted a lip tat, and I heard it didn’t hurt. So, I went and got one.”
