Since the first time he revealed a few small, symbolic tattoos on his hand in 2020—such as “BTS,” “ARMY,” and “JK”—Jungkook has gradually transformed his entire right arm into a black-ink “art piece,” where every design carries a special meaning tied to his music, family, youth, and personal life philosophy. Over the years, fans have noticed that tattooing isn’t just a pαѕѕing hobby for Jungkook, but a language he uses to tell his own story.

Fans also discovered that Jungkook’s pαѕѕion for tattooing seems endless. He doesn’t simply get a tattoo once and leave it as is—he constantly revises, refines, and even expands his designs. Earlier this summer, while performing at j-hope’s solo concert, fans spotted that Jungkook had extended his right-arm tattoo up toward his chest, in addition to refreshing the colors and detailing on some older designs.

It appears that his tattoo journey is still unfolding. Recently, fans noticed that Jungkook’s creativity is no longer limited to just one arm—he seems to be entering a new phase with his left arm as well. This new tattoo was spotted after the second season of Jimin and Jungkook’s travel reality show Are You Sure? premiered on December 3.

In episode 2 of Are You Sure? season 2, a segment where Jungkook and Jimin play around on a lake during their ѕωιтzєяℓαи∂ trip became the center of attention. As the young BTS duo enjoyed paddling on SUP boards and teasing each other, a camera angle α¢¢ι∂єитally captured the underside of Jungkook’s left upper arm—revealing what appeared to be a brand-new tattoo.

The tattoo flashed only for a moment and wasn’t clear enough to identify, but most fans were convinced he had added a completely new design. Some joked that it looked like “three meme dinosaur heads,” while others zoomed in on every pixel, trying to determine whether it might be the early sketch of a larger piece. This naturally sparked the question: Is Jungkook planning to complete a full sleeve on his left arm too?

Although Are You Sure? aired in December, it was filmed just four days after Jimin and Jungkook were discharged from the military—meaning Jungkook already had the tattoo around mid-June. Then, during a viral livestream featuring all seven BTS members in early July, fans noticed a faint patch of dark ink peeking from Jungkook’s left arm. This reinforced the belief that he had already begun working on his left-arm tattoo plans not long after filming Are You Sure? 2.

Fans reacted with excitement at the possibility of Jungkook “expanding his tattoo universe” yet again:
