Filipina athletes are sealing their historic Olympic adventure with a splash of ink to capture their essence of dedication and triumph.

Even before Paris 2024, Pinay gymnast Levi Jung-Ruivivar was already planning to have her own Olympic tattoo to commemorate her Olympic qualifications and become one of the Filipina gymnasts to represent the Philippines in the Olympics after 60 years. 

Becoming the youngest delegate in the Philippine Centennial Team and a yassified Gen Z, 18-year-old Levi made a vlog asking strangers for their ideas.

Meanwhile, Sam Catantan has etched her name in history as the first female fencer to represent the Philippines in the Olympics.

Now that the Olympics are officially in the books, Filipina Olympians are ready to ink their triumphs with some serious bling.

Levi got an Olympic ring tattoo on her arm, while Sam got hers on her wrist.

 

They finally turned their epic journey into a permanent masterpiece. 

For them, it’s not just ink; it’s a symbol of sweat, dreams, and their legacy.
