BTS‘s Jimin has always captured fans’ hearts with his music and style, but recently, it’s his tattoos that are drawing significant attention. Tattoo artist Dong Hwa from Blind Studio took to social media to share a series of shirtless photos of Jimin, showcasing the intricate tattoos that adorn his body, and fans are absolutely thrilled.
The “NEVERMIND” tattoo, prominently inked on his ribs, is perhaps one of Jimin‘s most famous pieces. Originally a temporary design, Jimin later decided to make it a permanent one. This tattoo, along with others, was revealed in the shirtless photos that have now gone viral, highlighting not only the art but also Jimin‘s chiseled physique.
Jimin’s other tattoos
Among the other tattoos he has is the number ’13’ on the inside of his wrist. Fans speculate that it could represent BTS‘s debut date or Jimin‘s birthday. Additionally, he has moons on his back. They were first seen during the promotions for his solo album FACE. In 2022, Jimin revealed that these tattoos were inspired by a piece of fan art by digital illustrator @ArizzoStudios on X (formerly known as Twitter). It was his bandmate Kim Taehyung, aka V, who showed the fan art to him.
Jimin’s other tattoos include the words “Young” and “Forever” near his elbows, echoing the BTS track “Young Forever,” and the word “Youth” inscribed in cursive behind his ear. Jimin also has the number seven tattooed on his finger, which symbolizes the BTS members’ unity. He once said, “Like I told you guys before, I wanted it here so that you’d be able to see it when I hold the mic when I sing, but because my hands are really small, you can’t really see it. you have to use a thinner mic to see it.”
The tattoo artist speaks
Dong Hwa, in sharing these photos, also shared his long-time connection with BTS, expressing his admiration for their passion and hard work. “After much contemplation, I’ve decided to post this. I regard them as cool musicians who have shown passion and perseverance for nearly a decade. I’ve known them since before their debut, and while I’ve worked on various projects with the company and the members, unfortunately, we haven’t been able to meet often due to their busy schedules. There were both big and small concerns I had while working with them, but my support has always been unwavering. Among the many projects I’ve been involved with, I’m sharing the tattoo photos we did with Jimin first. Please view them in a positive light.”
In addition to the tattoo reveal, Jimin has also been stirring excitement with a new dance video on Instagram, sporting impressive blonde hair and hinting at potential new projects. Fans are eager to see what “main dancer Jimin” has in store next. – K-Pop News Writer
