Canadian Olympians Get Inked

Posted by admin on February 9, 2010


Three of these Curlers got Olympic Tattoos for the 2010 Games

The Winter Olympics are set to kick off in a few days, and I can feel the excitement here in Vancouver.  Unfortunately, I’m not attending any of the events, but I can imagine the anticipation the Olympians are feeling right now.  Representing your country can be a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I wasn’t surprised to learn about two curlers from Alberta who made a pact to mark this achievement with body art.  The article from CtvOlympics.ca explains that a few years ago Cheryl Bernard and teammate Cori Bartel talked about getting tattooed should they make it to the Olympics, which became a reality in December.  Even teammate Susan O’Connor joined the women in inking the colourful Olympic rings and a small Maple Leaf on the inside of their forearms.  I certainly hope these tattoos bring the ladies some luck at the games.  Gooooooo Canada!  Click here to read the entire article.
