What do you do after winning four gold medals at the Olympics? You get a tattoo, of course! Don’t worry, Missy didn’t run off and get a sleeve tattoo or anything like that. She got a pretty small tattoo of the Olympic rings on her hip, and it actually looks pretty damn sweet. Take a look below…

Not too bad, huh? Her parents even approved of the 17-year-old’s tattoo, “This will be the only one, and she’s earned it” Dick Franklin told TODAY.com.

Missy may have gotten the idea for the tattoo from Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte; they both have very similar Olympic ring tattoos. You would think they would have a little more creative than that. Getting a tattoo of the Olympic rings is just so obvious, you know? They should have asked for a full body Bob Costas tattoo on their back, with a little note underneath saying, “Actual size”

Now that would be a great tattoo.
