Professional Tattoo Artists Compare The Tattoos Of 3 K-Pop Idols—Here’s What Makes Them Unique

Not all fans may notice it, but many K-Pop idols have tattoos! They often hide their ink with long pieces of clothing like sweaters or high neck tops. There are several K-Pop idols, however, who aren’t afraid to be a little more open with their tattoos.

In their “Comment Defenders” series, YouTube channel AYO invited Andy, a YouTube content creator, and Tachi from Godo Tattoo to discuss the secrets behind idols and their body art works. Right from the beginning, they named three different singers and described their unique styles.

1. Jungkook

First of all, BTS‘s maknae, Jungkook, is known for his sleeve of tattoos. He has a variety of designs that range from the group’s debut date to their bulletproof logo.

Tachi in particular could not help but commend his choice. He liked the overall concept that Jungkook went for, a blackwork tattoo with a splash of color in the center.

Blackwork designs are characterized by solid shapes in bold black ink. These gave him an “unexpected charm” that emphasized his strong and masculine charisma.

2. Taeyeon

Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon, meanwhile, was praised for her natural style. It was a great contrast to Jungkook’s own sleeve as she wore four dainty flowers on her collar bone and shoulders.
