Tom Daley sports Olympic rings tattoo on Twitter ... - BBC World News

Tom Daley has celebrated his bronze medal-winning performance from London 2012 by inking an Olympic tattoo on his arm. Daley shows off his Olympic tattoo with fellow divers Sarah Barrow and Chris Mears (Picture: Twitter) The 18-year-old couldn?t wait to post a picture of his new artwork to adoring fans on Twitter with the tattoo still wrapped in plastic for protection. Daley was accompanied by fellow divers Sarah Barrow and Chris Mears, who both had the same design done, but despite admitting the pain was ?addictive? the tattoo will be the Olympic bronze medallist?s first and last. ?Getting it done was weird for the first 30 seconds but then it was a bit therapeutic ? it?s quite an addictive pain,? said Daley. ?They [the artist's studio] were really flexible with designs. ?I don?t think I?ll get another tattoo, to get one it has to mean something to you.? Daley won bronze in the 10metre platform on August 10 and just days after winning his medal he lent it to diving clubs so aspiring Olympians could get a taste of what it is like to have a medal around their neck. Tom Daley offered his medal for young divers to test out (Picture: PA) Daley, who managed to achieve two As (Spanish and AS maths) and an A* (photography) in his A-Level results which he received on Thursday is now enjoying some down time while publicising his new book, My Story. ?It?s really good to be back home enjoying myself rather than having to think about training all the time, it?s just been crazy,? he said. ?I?ve been doing book signings for the last couple of days and the one in Bristol was the biggest book signing they?ve done ? they even ran out of stock. ?I?m just going to have fun for a few weeks now, I?m going on holiday to Spain with the family to chill out by the beach and pool.? Tom will go back to training on September 1 in preparation for the Junior World Championships in October.
