What do Jungkook's tattoos look like now? BTS star adds new ink and flaunts colored tats

Jungkook gets a '7' number tattoo to honor BTS' 'friendship tattoo' pact and adds more colored embellishments to his right sleeve

On one hand, the boy group BTS is breaking new records with their comeback album, 'Proof' which was released with a total of 45 tracks on June 10. On the other, fans are manifesting a whole new side to BTS for their Chapter 2. Nine years after their debut in 2013, BTS members released their ninth anniversary Festa live video in which they revealed that all the albums that were released by the boy group up to their 2022 release 'Proof' will be BTS' Chapter 1.

With this, BTS members promised that in Chapter 2, the boy group would be focusing more on their solo debuts alongside some group activities like 'Run BTS' broadcasts. As soon as the announcement was made, fans began wondering what the new chapter of BTS would entail. Fans were sure that going forward, BTS was going to stray from their 'good boy' image in the industry and focus on showing their raw, unedited and more daring selves. Together, members put an end to BTS' Chapter 1 by getting matching friendship tattoos. All seven BTS members promised to go get the number '7' tattooed on their bodies.

More sections of BTS Jungkook's sleeve tattoo revealed, fans say, 'we’ll pay for the full view'

Maknae Jungkook's new tattoos

Leader RM (Kim Namjoon) became the first member to post a photo of his '7' tattoo on his ankle on social media. J-Hope followed suit by posting a photo of his calf tattoo with the number '7' and then V (Kim Taehyung) posted a photo of his tattoo on his Instagram story (though some ARMYs thought it was drawn on with a sharpie). Fans spotted Jimin's tattoo on his finger/palm area while Jungkook stated that Jin had already gotten his tattoo on the back of his ribs in his live stream and mentioned that he was soon going to get one too. Looks like Jungkook has kept his promise and finally made the tattoo but there is more to it than just that.

The tattoo artist that Jungkook visited in order to make the '7' tattoo posted a series of photos featuring the BTS maknae on his Instagram account that showed that Jungkook had gotten the tattoo to match BTS members on the back of his ear. Now following this, Suga is the only BTS member to tell fans about his friendship tattoo alongside Jin as the two oldest BTS members will be the last two to reveal theirs.

Jungkook upgrades his sleeve tattoo

The friendship tattoo for BTS was not the only body art that Jungkook got from his tattoo appointment over the last weekend. The post from the tattoo artist revealed that Jungkook had upgraded his sleeve tattoo with the same Seoul-based tattoo artist named Polyc SJ. The post revealed that Jungkook had added colored embellishments to the tattoo on his right hand. Jungkook also added new additions to his body art in the form of the words 'Bulletproof' that covered the eye on his arm.

Jungkook first shocked fans by getting a new tattoo back in 2019 which the singer had initially kept hidden from fans. With time, the public sentiment towards Jungkook's tattoos began to change and the singer finally flaunted his full sleeve tattoos for fans to see during recent concerts. As the tattoo artist only posted sections of Jungkook's sleeve tattoo online, fans began reimaging the modified version of the BTS member's body art as one ARMY shared a fan art for other BTS fans to enjoy.
