Tattoos are not just an aesthetic element but also carry deep sentimental value. For the members of BTS, the number 7 tattoo is closely tied to their journey of growth and the enduring friendship they share. Among the members, Jungkook and Jimin are known for having multiple tattoos with personal meanings even before the group all got their matching “7” tattoo together.
Meanwhile, for the other members, the friendship tattoo was their very first tattoo. However, it also opened up a new perception of tattoo art for them. In j-hope’s case, after getting the number 7 tattoo, he later added three more tattoos on his knees, featuring his iconic quote, “I’m your hope, You’re my hope,” during the two months BTS spent together at their creative camp in Los Angeles.
And recently, it seems that RM may have joined the list of BTS members with more than one tattoo, as he subtly revealed a glimpse of a new tattoo to fans!
On February 8, RM shared a series of photos on his personal Instagram, capturing his recent daily activities. The photos carried the leader’s signature vibe—working out, mirror selfies, and scenic shots. However, two particular photos caught fans’ attention because of a suspicious detail on his wrist.
In one photo, RM is lifting dumbbells while wearing a sleeveless top, and eagle-eyed fans noticed a faint ink mark on his wrist. In another photo, he is standing in front of a mirror with his hand raised toward the ceiling, and this time, the ink mark on his wrist appeared even clearer.
Just these two moments were enough to send ARMYs around the world into a frenzy, sparking speculation: "NAMJOON WRIST TATTOO??”, "HOLD OOONNN OMG???", "WAIT WHATTTTT????"...
Given the tradition of BTS members getting tattoos with deep personal meanings, fans are not ruling out the possibility that it could be a word or a symbol that RM holds dear. Many fans are also eager to see it more clearly and are determined to ask him about it the next time he goes live. Meanwhile, others jokingly commented that RM is “slowly but surely” joining the club of BTS members with more than one tattoo.
Although RM has not confirmed anything yet, fans’ excitement is already at an all-time high. Comments reflecting fans’ reactions include:
