Forever inked, forever linked.
Simone Biles got a sentimental new tattoo in honor of husband Jonathan Owens while on her Gold Over America Tour.
After her show in Arizona Wednesday, the Olympic champion scheduled an appointment with Sydney Smith, a fine-line tattoo specialist in the area.
During the late-night session, the record-breaking gymnast got “Made in Heaven” tattooed on the back of her neck.
The 27-year-old also got a tiny “J” — her husband’s first initial — etched onto her left hand’s ring finger.
Owens, who Biles wed in April 2023, also has the gymnast’s first initial on his ring ringer.
The Chicago Bears player, 29, debuted the ink in July 2024 — shortly before his wife traveled to Paris to compete in the 2024 Olympics.
While Biles’ tattoo is written in sans serif, Owens’ ink is much larger and written in script.
The couple met on the dating app Raya in 2020 and got engaged in February 2022.
Smith told TMZ it took her an hour and a half to complete each tattoo for the gymnast, who was “great” to work with.
However, this wasn’t the seven-time gold medal winner’s first tattoo dedicated to her husband. Shortly before the pair’s wedding, Biles revealed they got “matching ‘444’ tattoos.”
“4better, 4worse, 4ever,” she explained on her Instagram Story.
While it’s unclear where Owens’ ink sits, Biles placed the personal ink on the inside of her left elbow.
The athlete got her very first tattoo shortly after her Olympic debut in Rio, where she won four gold and one bronze medal.
Once Biles was back in the States, she, of course, got the Olympic rings tatted on the inside of her right arm.
Since then, she has added several other pieces, including her birth year, 1997, above her right elbow, the word “golden” on the inside of her left wrist, butterflies on her hand and “XO” on her inner lip.
However, one of her most personal tattoos is located on her collarbone and says, “and still I rise” — a nod to Maya Angelou’s famous poem.
Biles got the tat in 2021, shortly after having to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympics due to mental health struggles and the twisties, a common term amongst gymnasts for when you feel disoriented mid-air.
“Before I got this tattoo, it was a saying that I loved obviously because of Maya Angelou,” Biles explained in her Netflix doc. “And I was like, ‘and still I rise,’ is perfect because I feel like that’s kind of the epitome of my career and my life story because I’ve always rised to the occasion.”
“And even after all of the traumas and the downfalls I’ve always risen,” she continued. “Every comeback that I’ve had it’s like no matter what happens I still come back and still try to do everything full force, full difficulty — like even after Tokyo I’m still here. So still I rise.”
