All 7 BTS members have friendship tattoos, but Jimin and Jungkook are the members who have more than 1 tattoo. In fact, both of them are the ones who started the friendship tattoo trend and motivated the other members to complete it.
When talking about the tattoos that Jimin and Jungkook own, fans cannot help but praise them for their artistry and deep meaning related to the idols themselves, their fans, and their careers.
However, to create these pretty tattoos, it took a long process. There were even 3 tattoo artists who did the whole tattoos on Jimin and Jungkook's body, and 2 of them were their common tattoo artists.
The story about the formation process of the current tattoos of BTS superstars was recently discovered by ARMYs. A post on SNS went viral when OP shared a photo of Jimin and Jungkook taken at the tattoo shop of famous tattoo artist - Donghwa.
He has been working with BigHit for a long time. In his salon there are several albums signed by members. For example, in 2015, Donghwa worked on the calligraphy of the members' hands for the Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa pt.2.
He's also known as Jimin's first tattoo artist and accopanied him during a long time ago. At first he did Jimin's iconic "Nevermind" tatoo on his waist.
However, Donghwa was not Jungkook's first tattoo artist. For the Golden Maknae, he started his tattoo story with Sagimi (he is in the middle) in the Tat2luv studio - a famous tattoo artist among кσяєαn celebrities.
Sagimi did the first Jungkook's tattoos like: J, ARMY, crosses, purple heart, crown, smiley, ARMY symbol, rock sign, the quote, his birth flower, truth, Chinese hieroglyphs, please, bull, flag, and the mask.
Until September, 2019, Jungkook continued his tattoos at Jimin's tattoo artist, Donghwa, and they both worked for a long time. Donghwa did Jungkook's following tattoos: moon, eye, ornament on the shoulder, chain, microphone, flower on the elbow, lightning, tiger, winners never quit.
At the same time, Donghwa continued working with Jimin on his first moon tattoo on his neck and "Youth" behind his ear.
On the other hand, Jungkook got to know a new tattoo artist named Polyc around 2021, 2022 and he became the Golden Maknae's 3rd tattoo artist. On February 25th, Jungkook began retouching his tattoos, which took long 5 months.
Some tattoos were changed like the flower and microphone were colored, the sun appeared instead of the tiger,...
Jungkook also introduced Polyc to Jimin and this tattoo artist became the 2nd tattoo artist. On April 22, Polyc started to work on Jimin's phases of the moon, below the moon tattoo designed by Donghwa before.
On a Weverse live, Jimin himself said that he did in the phases later when he saw the art that Taehyung showed him.
When hearing this anecdote, ARMYs realized that Jimin and Jungkook have shared the same hobby and experience in tattooing for many years. Previously, the two also showed their close friendship for many years as the youngest members of BTS.
They once traveled to Jeju Island, Busan or the U.S and נαραи together or Jimin even returning to Seoul from Paris as a surprise to celebrate Jungkook's birthday...
Not to mention that later on, Jimin and Jungkook enlisted together under South Korea's special companion system, allowing them to serve alongside each other and ease the sense of loneliness that often accompanies military duty now.
Fans can't stop gushing over their cute friendship:
- Tattoo bud∂ιєs and enlistment bud∂ιєs.
- When the time comes, the truth always reveal themselves even after months/years
- REMEMBER EVEN THEY WENT TO GET THEIR HENNA TATTOOS TOGETHER
- your friends is my friends too, their friendship is so adorable
- If one day people find out Donghwa has their signatures tattooed on his butt, one on the right and one on the left, I won't be surprised. Polyc also has Jungkook and Jimin's names tattooed on his arms.
- They share the same interests and artist friends.
- Their friendship is so admirable, only 80 days left until our bud∂ιєs return
