On Tuesday, January 3, BTS' tattoo artist Poly C revealed that members V and Jung Kook got their friendship tattoos done together. He shared some close-up photos of member V's tattoo, which is placed on his thigh.
BTS' V aka Kim Taehyung also doesn't seem like a big tattoo fan and only has the BTS friendship tattoo engraved on his leg, just above his knee. The revelation was made via an Instagram post, where he is seen posing shirtless during his trip to Mexico.
The friendship tattoo
The tattoo announcement was made by BTS during their annual Festa dinner party video, following which some of the members flaunted the design via social media. While leader RM got the tattoo right above his ankle, J-hope flaunted it on one of his calf legs.
Furthermore, the tattoo artist revealed that Jimin was the one who encouraged everyone to get the 7 tattoo. While all the BTS members were already keen on getting a friendship tattoo, having been together for more than nine years, Jimin's words were the catalyst for them to finally get a tattoo.
Does V Have Tattoos? V only has one tattoo, which is the matching number "7" he got with the rest of the BTS group. His tattoo artist, who goes by @polyc_sj on Instagram, revealed V's design located on his left thigh. V later showed off the tattoo in an Instagram carousel.
V's habits include biting his nails, touching anything that's cute and saying 'Eomma!" (Mom?) and "It hurts." a lot. J-Hope is like the mother of BTS. BTS's fans are called A.R.M.Y. Jungkook and V are very close.
Jimin has a moon tattoo on the nape of his neck. The moon phase design had a special meaning, as it was the phase of the moon on the day the boy band debuted. He already has the date inked on his wrist, and this was another rendition of honoring BTS' debut day.
Suga had said, "Yes I got the tattoo but I won't let you know where it is, you should find it yourself. I really had no thought of getting a tattoo for my whole life but got it since the members got one."
In the shared shirtless pictures by Suga on his Instagram, ARMY was able to find the idol's friendship tattoo '7' was engraved on his neck. Suga is the only member of BTS who had not shown his unity tattoo and the last to be discovered by the ARMY.
Jin doesn't have any tattoos yet. Only two members of the K-pop sensation group BTS have tattoos. Jimin and Jungkook have a handful of known (and hidden) tattoos. At it stands, Jin, J-Hope, RM, V, and Suga have yet to get inked.
Their upcoming album (which drops on Friday) is titled, Map of the Soul: 7, which can be interpreted as a nod to the number of people in the band and also to the number of years that they've been together, which is also seven.
In particular, the BTS star swimming picture drew attention because of his friendship special tattoo '7' engraved on his left thigh.
One revealed V's 7 tattoo, located on his left thigh.
The Together Forever is a tattoo given to V by Cassius Ryder, the idea was given to him by Johnny Silverhand.
The letter V on the forehead means entering womanhood. Stripes on the chin signify a woman's first period. The tattoos “beautify a woman and make her complete,” says Kyak. And they also ensured that in the afterlife, a woman would go to “a place of plentiful, happiness and good things.”
Taehyung's neck vein tattoo goes down his chest meaning the sting from that bite is spreading... imagine how lucky the visual director / artist who painted this on his glorious chest.
However, eagle-eyed ARMY has spotted when the rapper has shown his love for the rest — be it helping a harassed V with a mic on stage, or showing special consideration for Jungkook, who is the youngest in the band. ARMY has observed that Suga has a soft spot for the Maknae (younger) bandmate.
Jimin has the number '13' tattooed on his wrist. The mini tattoo made its first appearance during the V-Live session after the release of Map of the Soul: 7.
BTS members Suga and J-Hope, who are often called 'SOPE', share a close friendship.
While RM got the tattoo just above the ankle, J-Hope got inked on one of his calf legs.
“I also got a friendship tattoo,” he wrote. Jin's tattoo was hard to spot just by looking at his photo. Zoomed in, you can see there is a small “7” near his left torso. The ink marked Jin's very first known tattoo, so of course the post sent fans into a frenzy.
On many occasions, Kim Taehyung has stated that he is left-handed, and other members of BTS have stated the same thing. He does, however, utilise his right hand for a variety of tasks, including signing autographs, indicating that he is ambidextrous.
On the side of his palm, he has tattooed BTS' debut date, i.e., 06/13 or June 13, 2013. Notably, he also ended his Weverse Live at 6.13 am on February 2, 2023, after pulling off an all-nighter. Next, BTS' Jungkook explained the tattoos strewn across his forearm.
BTS' Jimin has the words "Young" and "Forever" tattooed above his elbows.
V, being the mischievous lad that he is, decides to flirt with the other person within the very next minute and also reveals in the process that they are only acting. He makes it clear that Jimin was referring to ARMY as his girlfriend and goes on to propose on call, earning a nice beating from Chim Chim himself.
