It's not a new thing for Kpop idols to get tattoos, and Jungkook isn't the first to do it. However, for tattoo artists in ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾a, they point out that more than anyone else, Jungkook creates a new influence and perspective on the tattoo industry in a conservative country.

Here's what tattoo artists say about how Jungkook makes a good impact on tattoos:

Even though it is a developed country, ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾a is still a country that is not too open-minded about tattoos. For many people, tattoos are seen as representing a bad personality or people with anti-social behavior. In particular, when artists appear at important events or on national television, they are required to cover their tattoos.

Jungkook was in a similar situation when he got his first tattoos. He struggles to cover up his tattoos with gloves, band-aids, or blurring them out in videos. However, in recent years, Jungkook has boldly given up hiding his tattoo. He doesn't even hesitate to show them off to his fans to show everyone how much those tattoos mean to him.

Jungkook has very special tattoos such as the BTS and ARMY symbols on his hands - the two most important things in his career, representative symbols of kσrєαn culture and sayings αssociated with his youth journey. They are admired by fans all over the world and even non-fans feel excited every time they look at them.

Not only does Jungkook attract people's attention to tattoos, he also creates a trend of tattoos with positive meanings in the fan community. He also changed many people's minds that tattoos are not bad. Jungkook brought his tattoos to the stage, did not hesitate to show them on television and even brought them to the stage of the United Nations General Assembly in the presence of government officials. Jungkook breaks the stereotype that people with tattoos are criminals or bad people.

Above all, professional tattoo artists are the ones who most clearly feel the influence that Jungkook brings to this industry. In a talk show on the YouTube channel AYO, Andy, a YouTube content creator about tattoos, and Tachi, a representative of the tattoo brand Godo Tattoo, expressed their love and respect for Jungkook for changing their thinking. many people about tattoos and tattoo art.

Artists agree that Jungkook has eye-catching designs that set apart the blackwork art known for its bold black ink. Tachi mentioned: "Jungkook’s tattoo is a blackwork tattoo but there’s one color in it as the point. It feels fierce so it’s impressive. For his hands, every tattoo has a different meaning". Besides being beautiful, they are also meaningful. Jungkook chose a font for the tattoo “ARMY” where the letter “A” can also be read as “V” and he added a “J” on top of it. It represents the initials of each BTS member and is symbolic of their fandom.

After praising his style, the tattoo artists shared how grateful they are to Jungkook. Because he confidently wears his tattoos, he influenced his fans to accept the art more. Andy said with pride: "By showing that he has a tattoo, he broke the bad perceptions about tattoos". Just being himself, Jungkook has contributed to removing the kσrєαn "gangster" stereotype behind the tattoos. Andy ended with a sweet message of gratitude: “Thank you, Jungkook.”

Clearly, Jungkook has used his influence to help make the definition of tattoos more acceptable and seen in a more positive light. That makes fans even more proud of what Jungkook is doing and showing:

He’s really a social influencer. Tattoos and piercings in the first place weren’t  is a problem and it would be surprising if it took so long for netizens to realize that people should do whatever they want with their bodíєs.
