The main reason is the conservative society South Korea. Tattoos are seen as taboos. Also many so called fans can't accept the fact that JK thought for himself and did something for himself.
This likely has to do with Korea's conservative views on tattoos: they are considered illegal in South Korea, except when done by a medical professional. You would think that this would stop stars from getting tattoos in the first place, but that's not always the case.
Tattoos in South Korea are not widely accepted by the general public, so much so that musical artists are prohibited from displaying their ink on TV shows and live broadcasts. If anyone has a tattoo on a broadcast, they are either covered up with makeup, or blurred in post-production.
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.
The boy band has seven members — although each of them are currently on a brief hiatus — and only two of them are heavily inked. That's right: while Jimin and Jungkook have a handful of known (and hidden) tattoos, Jin, J-Hope, RM, V, and Suga only have one piece of body art each.
13. 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. The number has a special meaning for the singer as he was born on October 13 and the band made its debut on June 13, 2013.
The tattoo on Taehyung's neck in 'ON' mv looks like cracks from afar, but close up more so tree roots. 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.
Soojin has the most significant collection of eight known tattoos, strategically engraved on different parts of her body.
Jungkook used to have a massive eye tattoo on his arm. However, the singer covered it up because he came across many people who disliked the tattoo. He also said that a few told him that the tattoo reminds them of Illuminati.
Nevermind. While many thought Jimin's 'Nevermind' was a temporary one, its actually a permanent one! Scrawled across his ribcage, the tattoo is inspired by Suga's song Intro: Nevermind, where the rapper talks about the challenges of people belittling him and damaging his self-worth.

Theories suggest that he decided to get rid of it because he got quite a negative response for it. Later, he opened up about it and shared that the only reason he got it covered up was that people never liked it.
So, how many tattoos does V have in total? Just like RM, Jin, Suga, and J-Hope, V's first and only tattoo that fans are aware of is the friendship tattoo. V apparently teased that he was thinking about getting his first tattoo months before BTS announced their matching ink in June 2022.
I didn't say anything because it was the obvious truth that people would not believe me, interpret [my words] as they wish, and that I would receive even harsher replies. I would like to once again state that it is absolutely not true that I am dating Jungkook or that I tattooed my initials on him.
But most often, they simply wore “nude bras”. In terms of inner pants, she explained that sometimes the inner pants are attached to the skirt when they are made and sometimes they wear them separately for comfort.
South Korean law permits only licensed medical practitioners, as opposed to tattoo artists without medical degrees, to open tattoo parlors, although it is not illegal to have a tattoo. Only the army prohibits tattoos. People can have tattoos after serving in the military.
1. Hyun Ah. One K-pop idol that is not afraid to flaunt her tattoos is Hyun Ah, a soloist and former member of 4Minute. While she may have a vast collection of inks, each one is symbolic in its own way.
BTS member Jungkook was 16 years old when he confessed he wanted to get a tattoo. Years later, Jungkook has numerous tattoos on his body, including one dedicated to the fandom, ARMY.
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."
There's also taboo associated with tattoos in the country, as ink was historically used to permanently mark criminals and slaves. It later acquired a criminal connotation as gangsters openly adorned themselves with tattoos to show off their gang affiliation.
That's right: only licensed medical doctors were given the right to perform tattooing in South Korea, and this law still stands to this day!
Answer: BTS leader RM was the first member to flaunt his '7' tattoo, following which J-Hope, Jung Kook, Jimin and V revealed it.
V has five known piercings in his ears. He doesn't always wear all five anymore, but he had three piercings in his left lobe and two in his right lobe. Most of the time he only wears earrings in some of the holes.
Shortly afterward, though, V shared a video on Twitter revealing his lip piercing was actually fake.
Like Jungkook and a couple of BTS' other members, V often experiments with colored contacts for performances. He's also often seen with eyeliner on and a bold lip.
