BTS has been doing their friendship tattoo for almost a year now and it seems to be one of the most precious things they do for their over a decade friendship. The group's friendship tattoos mean a lot, not only in terms of design but also in the location they choose to get the tattoo.

There are members who want it tattooed in the most conspicuous place like how BTS is always together. Meanwhile, some have tattoos in places as if to show that BTS is their Achilles heels.

However, recently, an ARMY noticed that the location of the members' tattoos also shows the level of pain they have to endure when tattooing friendship tattoos. This makes all ARMYs very interesting:

Everyone knows that tattooing is an art, but when it comes to tattooing, there is also a lot of physical pain. There are some tattoo positions that help you feel less pain but there are places that make you cry because it hurts more than cutting your hand with a knife.

Tattooists have experienced these things and are, of course, admired for their ability to endure physical pain. Meanwhile, BTS members are also a part.

Since the beginning of this year, BTS has had ideas about getting a friendship tattoo and they made it happen thanks to Jungkook's tattooist - PolyC. He made the design of 7 number 7 tattoos that combine to form a stylized BTS word and it is the only, unique tattoo design and no one has the most accurate shape from the designer.

The members then finished their tattoos in turn, and 6/7 members revealed the tattoo location. RM has it on his ankle, j-hope has it on his heel, Jimin has it on Jungkook's finger behind his ear, taehyung has it on his thigh, and jin has it on his waist.

Before that, Jimin and Jungkook were the ones who had done a lot of tattooing and they were certainly quite pain-tolerant people. Besides, the other members are getting tattoos for the first time and they have also experienced painful feelings for the first time because of their art and friendship.

An ARMY created a diagram showing pain levels in different tattoo locations. She then also pointed out how much pain the members had to go through when getting the number 7 friendship tattoo.

First of all, j-hope has it tattooed near his heel and his pain level is level 1. At this level, the pain is described as when you get a needle in your finger and also mild pain. especially when tattooing. At the same level of pain as j-hope are RM and V as the thigh and upper ankle area also feel the same pain.

Next, at pain level 2 is the location of Jungkook's tattoo behind his ear. This level of pain is described as burning sensation on the torch because the skin is quite thin in this position. But considering that Jungkook has done a lot of tattoos in other places and his strength, he totally withstands this.

Meanwhile, Jimin's pain when tattooing on the side of his finger is the third level of pain. It is likened to the pain of tearing flesh when being bitten by a dog, it sounds scary. The finger skin is quite thin and it also has hard bones so getting a tattoo here is very painful. However, Jimin is still not the champion for this level of pain tolerance.

Jin became the best pain bearer when getting the friendship tattoo with the highest pain level of all tattoo locations. He has a tattoo on his waist and this is pain level 4. This pain is likened to "I think I'm dead", it is excruciating pain and Jin must have endured a lot of pain when tattooing it.

But the number 7 tattoo on Jin's waist is really an art. It is a beautiful tattoo both in appearance and in meaning. Jin seems to have tattooed it with the intention of remembering BTS's friendship. And that is admirable.

ARMYs, after knowing this, were also very emotional. They believe that the friendship and meaning of the tattoo helped the boys forget the pain:
