It seems like Jungkook and Jimin have really revolutionized the tattoo scene for BTS. Not only did the Maknae Line push BTS members to get friendship tattoos, but it also made SUGA complete his tattoo idea from 9 years ago.

Fans discovered that in addition to the number 7 tattoo, SUGA also got another tattoo later. This tattoo also has a special meaning and impressed fans when they saw it.

If you don't remember that SUGA mentioned his intention to get this tattoo many years ago, read the article below:

In 2022, BTS announced that their group got a number 7 tattoo to commemorate their 10th anniversary together. Even SUGA, who was shy about getting tattoos and revealing tattoos, finally showed off his meaningful number 7 tattoo on his shoulder before his military enlistment. ARMYs were deeply moved by this!

At the time of getting the number 7 tattoo, SUGA commented that he would not get any other tattoos in the future other than the friendship tattoo. He seemed very certain when said, "I wasn't planning on getting a tattoo ever in my life but the members were getting it. I don't have any bad image about tattoo but knowing my personality, I feel like I'd think "I should've gotten it a little more to this side". I'm not planning on getting any more tattoos".

However, ARMYs were surprised to find out later that SUGA had "betrayed" that statement because he seemed to have another tattoo on his body. In the behind-the-scenes photos of his solo world tour, fans discovered that a new tattoo had appeared on SUGA's body, specifically his finger.

When looking closely at his finger in many photos around the end of 2023, fans discovered that there was a small tattoo on the knuckle of his ring finger. Because it was so small, not many people realized that it was a new tattoo. Upon closer inspection, ARMY confirmed that it was actually a dot tattoo and that the dot had never been there before.

When fans discovered SUGA's second tattoo, they were surprised and also excited that he was open about it. Some fans also recalled SUGA's interview with Grazia in 2016, where he shared his intention to get the tattoo. When asked "If you were to get a tattoo, what would you like to get and where?", SUGA once answered that he would get an ink dot on his toe. Perhaps, the location of the dot tattoo has changed over time!

As for the meaning of this dot tattoo, many also realized that it symbolizes the completion of a turning point, as well as the opening of a new beginning. It coincides with the time when SUGA completed an important stage in his 10-year life and career. So maybe that’s why SUGA added a tattoo to his body to commemorate it.

In the same interview, SUGA expressed his hesitation about the impact of tattoos on his idol career. He shared, “When I was young, I really wanted to have one. But as I turned 20 years old, I didn’t want to anymore. Recently, I heard that Pharrell Williams is removing his tattoos and saying that he doesn’t even know why he got it tattooed.” “I might want to do soмєтнing else in the future,” he went on. “I want to do charity work, it might not look good, so I’m refraining myself.”

In the mindset of кσяєαns, or more broadly in Asian countries, tattoo is considered as a threat or even a symbol of crime. Jungkook himself received a lot of criticism when he revealed that his entire right arm was tattooed in the summer of 2019. It wasn't until recent years that the success of BTS and Jungkook has created a big change in the prejudice against tattoos

It's worth noting that in an interview 9 years ago, despite being hesitant about the idea of ​​getting a tattoo, SUGA himself did not completely deny it. He also added when asked about his future tattoo intentions that “but I don’t know yet. I could change my mind and tattoo my whole back next year”. Although at the moment, he has only completed his intention to get a dot tattoo, who knows, many years from now, fans might see a back full of iconic tattoos from this rapper!

Meanwhile, witnessing SUGA's new tattoo, ARMYs feel happy and proud that he has completed his first chapter in such a meaningful way!
