Over the years, the badass AF idol has never been afraid of showing off her beautiful tattoos, and they have gained a lot of attention, with beautiful meanings behind each one.

It meant that while netizens were shocked by Hwasa’s latest Instagram post, it wasn’t too surprising.

On November 8 (KST), Hwasa shared a new photo with the caption, “2024 Season’s Greetings.” In the photo, Hwasa was looking beautiful, but netizens noticed the huge dragon tattoo on her back with a cameo from what looked like a tattoo artist.

When the photo was posted, the comments were full of netizens gushing about how beautiful Hwasa looked and the intricacy of the stunning dragon tattoo.

In particular, considering the size of the tattoo (and the pain it would cause to do it), it wasn’t surprising that some netizens couldn’t believe it was real and wanted some confirmation.

Whether it’s real or not, it’s a truly stunning and intricate tattoo. Of course, Hwasa can definitely pull it off with her unreal beauty and confidence.
