So, whats it with archers and tattoos? After so many pictures that I published here, I noticed a lot of archers like to show they bond to archery through a tattoo. It is very interesting what different types of tattoos you find. And even more interesting, what is a good part of the body to have a tattoo on for an archer?

It seems like competing in the Olympic Games is still the most important goal for quite a lot top-level archers in the world. Many of them want to perpetuate a participation in that competition by getting tattooed, that is the reason you find a lot of tattoos with relation to the Olympic Games. And where do you need to have your fancy tattoo placed? The forearm is a very nice spot if you like it to be seen while competition (especially for recurve archers).

Two examples for combining the forearm with the olympic symbol are Khatuna Lorig and Brady Ellison of USA:

Another popular place for archer’s tattoos seem to be the ankle, as proven by the following pictures:

while Marie-Pier Beaudet of Canda remembers her first participation in Olympic Games 2004 aged only 17 at the same, obviously popular place.
