Tattoos have always been a sensitive issue for K-pop idols. Not only does it affect their ability to endorse brands, but idols also receive negative reviews from the public.

However, this prejudice has gradually changed in recent years, especially since Jungkook revealed his first tattoos!

A major revolution in the idea of ​​tattoos as “art” has spread. Now, fans are even more interested and curious about his tattoos!

After revealing his first tattoo on his hand in 2019, Jungkook surprised fans by having a series of other tattoos covering his right arm. After a while, people saw him changing some of the tattoos on that arm and the tattoos were fully colored.

Recently, Jungkook continued to ѕнσ¢к fans when he seemed to have added a new tattoo to his collection. Notably, this tattoo extends from the shoulder blade down to the chest.

This tattoo was discovered when Jungkook performed on j-hope's encore stage for "Hope On The Stage" in Seoul just 2 days after being discharged from the military.

In response to the great interest of fans in the newly revealed tattoo, POLYC - Jungkook's loyal tattoo artist shared a few things about it. He revealed that the new tattoo was born because the old tattoos were severely damaged and Jungkook wanted to wear short-sleeved shirts in the summer.

Specifically, he shared in English in an Instagram post as follows:

Meanwhile, Jungkook and POLYC spent 5 months to complete the entire right arm with meaningful tattoos related to the life and career of the BTS superstar. POLYC also expressed his "honor" to be chosen by Jungkook and "vowed to do his best" when working with the world superstar. Even now, he still shows his dedication in “Short-sleeve in Summer project” with Jungkook.

After POLYC shared, fans realized that Jungkook had considered a lot about what he wanted to tattoo on himself, not just a temporary favorite. They also expressed their anticipation for the two’s new summer work:

- The most beautiful person I have ever seen has tattoos. No one has tattoos that attract me more than Jungkook

- He’s making good progress on his tattoos. I'm so excited to see his new tattoos

- "We completed about 70% of the work before he enlisted, we are still continuing the process..." I AM NOT READY

- so glad to know that someone who has this mindset is the kind of person doing jungkook's tattoos because he doesn't only care about his art, but also jk's art and his individual self. glad to know he's in rlly good hands

- That explains the new additions to his tattoos. I'm happy that he agreed to this if it means for him to be comfortable in showing his sleeves and be proud of it. I'm excited to see the finish work of his plan.

- “It might not be everyone’s taste, but you’re not like everyone else” pretty much sums up JK in a sentence

- im so glad that he found someone who values art as much as he does and have helped him to be more confident about his body art

- this is actually making me cry because tattoo is such a beautiful form of cultural art and hearing his tattoo artist suggest incorporating it in jk's identity as an artist is so heart-warming? like these are the moments when yk theyre surrounded by good people

- he used to feel embarrαѕѕed about his tattoos omg :(( i'm glad he can proudly show them off now. we love your tattoos jungkookie

- and his tattoos are the pretties. it makes me so happy to see how comfortable he is with them now, embracing them every chance he gets. jungkook, you’re truly the coolest i adore you so much

- Jungkook tattoos are the prettiest ever can't wait to see the rest and the completed result

- Og Jungkook…. He really was so sad about his tattoos he wouldn’t show them… this is such a big surprise to me. I thought he was hising them for other reasons but now it suddenly makes sense
