Three of the four MAMAMOO members, as MooMoos know, have tattoos. Solar is the only member who doesn't have one.
Let's discuss Hwasa's tattoos and what they really represent in her life, in recognition of this incredible creation!
MARIA
This one is no brainer, since the baptismal name of Hwasa is Maria. Hwasa stated that she had been adversely affected by both Christianity and Buddhism because of her parents.
PARADISE IS WHERE YOU ARE
It is a wonderful quote, perhaps a reference to Hwasa's appreciation for tourism. And besides, when MAMAMOO takes a break, she manages to put in some travel time.
TRIQUETRA
The triquetra is a triangular structure made up of three interpolated lines, also known as the Trinity Knot. This reflects a woman's three life cycles initially because it involves the moon's phases.
It is also recognised as the emblem of the "Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit" in christianity as another significance in modern days.
RESONANCE
It's one of her greatest Wheein friendship tattoos! Resonance signifies in music that an additional vibration enriches the musical sound. Maybe, this indicates that she feels that her life is much better as she and Wheein support each other.
CADDO
This is what Hwasa and Wheein have inked on their necks to mark their 10th anniversary as best buddies.
"Caddo" is a Southeastern American tribe, but the two think its definition is "anyone bearing your sorrow on her back."
RESONANT AND PLANETARY
It has just been revealed to the public this year, Hwasa's new tattoo.
Resonant is harmony and inspiration, while Planetary is manifestation and idealization.
HWASA's Career and Other Ventures
On the 19th of June 2014, Hwasa started her career in the band MAMAMOO and became one of the leading voices in the very first extended play (EP) Hello, upon the release of a track title, "Mr. Ambiguous." She rendered and wrote from Hello "My Heart / I Do Me."
