Team USA Olympic track star Sha’Carri Richardson is a big fan of tattoos. She has them all over her body, as fans noticed when she took home the silver medal in the women’s 100-meter final at the Paris Games.

The sprinter had advice for young fans thinking about getting ink in a March 2024 Instagram Story. Next to a question that read, “Y’all ever look at any of y’all tattoos and be like damn I got some bulls–t?” she wrote, “Tattoo removal is real, so think long term before getting them to my young people.”
