As all ARMYs know that currently every BTS member has at least one friendship tattoo. In addition to Jungkook and Jimin who have many other artistic tattoos on their bodíєs, the other members all have a number 7 tattoo in special places.
For them, all tattoos contain a special meaning, especially the number 7 representing BTS's close friendship after more than a decade of operation. BTS's tattoo also became an impression and received many compliments from ARMYs, but among the fans, there were many people who expressed that they do not want the members to get tattoos.
Here's one time V responded to a fan advising him not to get a tattoo and shows his attitude towards tattoos:
The fact that Kpop artists get tattoos is no longer a new thing for fans and is not a taboo. Ever since Jungkook revealed an impressive series of tattoos on his arm, ARMYs have shown their enthusiastic and excited support for his artistic and meaningful tattoos.
Meanwhile, another member who also has a lot of unique and meaningful tattoos, Jimin, revealed a part of his tattoo that includes the words Never Minds or the moon cycle on his spine...And one of them was even suggested by an artistically gifted ARMY. This is so insane!
Besides, many ARMYs also learned that at the beginning of last year, the members did their friendship tattoos together. It's an artfully stylized number 7 to put together the final BTS image.
The members also chose many different positions for this meaningful tattoo on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of their activities such as Jin on the waist, RM on the ankle, Jungkook behind the ear,... Reportedly, the members been planning this for quite some time and they decided to do it together which got ARMYs excited.
But not everyone is excited about the idea. Some time before BTS got their friendship tattoos done, there were some ARMYs who expressed that they didn't want the members to get tattoos when they revealed their intentions. Typically, on SUGA's live broadcast or under V's post
While SUGA made it clear his decision to get the tattoo done for the sake of the members and their friendship, V seems to have a more aggressive attitude towards those who stop him. V didn't hesitate to directly call out an ARMY advising him not to get a tattoo under his post.
Specifically, V responded to a fan on the Weverse fan-artist communication platform, attracting attention. On Weverse, an ARMY commented "Don't get tattoos!!!!!!!!!".
When V came across this statement, he did not hesitate to give appropriate answers as well as explain to this fan that, "I'll deal with that on my own. But first, I did often talk about getting a friendship tattoo with the members all the time." V then added, "We will get a friendship tattoo some day. Please look forward to it".
And indeed he did it even though some ARMYs tried to stop him and the other members from getting tattoos. There is nothing ilℓєgαℓ or taboo about getting a tattoo. V has really shown some fans that they should know their limits and that he has the right to make his own decisions about his life and body.
He also shows his frankness towards his fans instead of giving in to anyone's wishes. Other ARMYs after seeing V's answer also completely agreed and praised his answer:
- They're all grown adults, so it's not like they have to get permission from their fans for every little thing, so he's right in saying that. Even if you're a celebrity, you should say what you have to say.
- Our V is hot even today. I miss you Taehyung~
- They really get their friendship tattoo and there's a lot of crazy people who copy them.
- Taehyung is the captain of Weverse communication.
- It's somєthing that is up to them.
- His personality is so strong...when he's like that, he seems like V instead of Taehyung.
- V really get the tattoo and make these fans shut up
- " 'I'll deal with that on my own' Lolllll."
- He replied respectfully and intelligently drew the line.
