When you think of a tattooed wrestler the first guy that comes to mind has to Jordan Oliver. His tattoos have tattoos. 

From the Joker face from Batman to paying homage to his hometown of Easton with the “610” area code on the inside of his arm, JO has more ink than a pack of Bic pens. But this isn’t about those — this is about a specific set of ring we see on Jordan Burroughs. 

While no one can stop you from getting the tattoo of your choice, there is a myth that getting the Olympic rings isn’t allowed. But is there any truth to that?

Technically, there is. The rings are considered a commercial brand and under “rule 50” in the international Olympics Committee’s rulebook, that specific rule doesn’t allow athletes to “[flaunt] any kind of branding. According to a 2016 article from The New York Times “Jeremy Taiwo, a decathlete from Seattle [wore] eight pairs of shoes in his 10 events…His shoe sponsor is Brooks, but the company does not make shoes designed for throwing and jumping events. So Taiwo [had] to wear shoes made by Nike, Adidas and Asics. He [covered] the logos of those competing brands, with tape, elastic sleeves and cleverly shaded fabric.”

So say, JO becomes the 65kg Olympic rep in 2021, he may have to cover up his left bicep, where he has the adidas trefoil tattoo, just so he's not in violation of this rule.

With that being said, despite the categorization of their own logo, the IOC makes an exception when it comes to the rings. 

“The IOC President is always excited to see athletes with the Olympic Rings,” according to a spokesperson quoted in an article by QZ.com. “Standing alone, the Olympic Rings are a great expression of appreciation of the Olympic Games and of the Olympic Values.”

With the liberties being taken with the five rings at the Olympics, athletes from all different types of disciplines have started sporting them, including the king, Jordan Burroughs.
