"Lower back tattoo? Might as well be a bullseye."

While Misty May-Treanor was the most prominent displayer of the pron-star-inspired "tramp stamp," other notable Olympic athletes gave her a run for her money in the department.

Honorable mention: Ivet Lalona
Bulgaria, Track and Field
2008 Medal Count: None

Ivet's quest for Olympic tramp stamp gold was derailed as her request for ink was lost in translation and subsequently administered on the wrong side. She had the right idea, however. And for that, we applaud her.



Bronze: Anastasia Davydova
Russia, Synchronized Swimmin
2008 Medal Talley: One Gold


Silver: Amanda Beard
USA, Swimmer
2008 Medal Talley: None


Gold: Misty May-Treanor
USA, Beach Volleyball
2008 Medal Talley: Gold, also named Most Outstanding Player

They might as well go ahead and name this event after her. With the knock on the sport that it shamelessly flaunts competitors' flesh, a distinction not lost on NBC in making televising decisions, the only question remains how many teenage girls follow her lead and go ahead and plant one on the small of their backs.
