His Sleeved Tattoo is Florida-Themed

Dressel's collection of tattoos has grown since the last time we saw him compete at the 2016 Rio Olympics. At the time, the sprinter only had a tattoo of a bald eagle on his upper left arm, but heading into Tokyo, he's sporting a full Florida-themed sleeve on his left arm, as well as the Olympic rings on his inner right forearm. The sleeve includes oranges, orange blossoms, magnolia flowers, and the Florida Gator in honour of his alma mater, Dressel explained at the grand opening of the Hall of Fame Aquatic Complex in Florida in 2019. As of now, Dressel says he won't be getting inked again anytime soon: "I don't think I'm going to touch the other [arm]. I've got my whole body, but I think I'm done for a while."
