Since the CDC or compete disease and control implemented the quarantine in South Korea, BTS has been actively communicating with their fans through YouTube videos and VLives. Some members can be seen cheerfully making art pieces and playing Nintendo's Just Dance, while other members work on their album production.
Because of this, fans are always updated about their favorite idols. On the May 11th broadcast of BTS Live, the ARMYs have discovered something new. It looks like Jimin has gotten a new tattoo! It's true what they say, nothing can get pass an ARMYs eyes.
Fans had already suspected that the singer had a new ink several months ago, but today, the ARMYs have confirmed it. The BTS fans started keeping track of Jimin's tattoos since he first revealed his "Nevermind" ink.
As tattoo is still considered a taboo in Korea, fans are eager to see that their idol is breaking barriers and expressing himself through body art.
So far, Jimin has four inks, and that's only to the fans' knowledge. Here's a list of all the tattoos BTS Jimin have, where they're located, and the meaning behind them.
"NEVERMIND"
At some point in the singer's career, Jimin's "Nevermind" ink has been one of the biggest controversies in the BTS fan community. When Jimin premiered with the tattoo in December 2014 at the MAMA stage, fans thought it was fake. Also, it suddenly vanished from his chest after the presentation.
However, in November 2018, fans saw the ink once again, and on the same spot during the BTS MGA show.
While Jimin's supporters kept debating whether the tattoo was legit or not, over time, they have come to the conclusion that the tattoo was indeed real and not just for concept.
There's really no precise reason as to why Jimin chose this particular tattoo, but it seems to mean a lot to the singer.
13
Jimin's "13" tattoo was first seen by fans when BTS made their yearly VLIVE comeback special just hours before dropping their new song and album Map of the Soul: 7 on February 21.
Throughout the live broadcast, Jimin raised his arms which exposed the "13" tattoo on his wrist. Fans had seen it more than once during the appearance of BTS M Countdown on February 27 and in Jimin's March 30th VLIVE broadcast.
Jimin's favourite number is 13 and BTS debuted in June 13, 2013. Jimin's birthday is also October 13, so it's likely that the number could reflect all three.
ELBOW TATS
Fans noticed what seemed to be two bandages on Jimin's elbows at the end of the BTS M Countdown show on February 27. The first impression of fans was that Jimin had a new ink on each arm. However, during the BTS May 11th live broadcast, their curiosity was piqued.
Jimin had a bandage at the very same place on every one of his elbows, so it's possible that he has gotten a matching ink both elbows.
