J-Hope BTS new tattoo
BTS singers J-Hope and V have sparked interest after being sighted with celebrity tattoo artist Dr. Woo. On August 26, Dr. Woo posted now-deleted Instagram images of the idols at his Los Angeles studio. J-Hope's new thigh tattoo was clearly visible in the photographs, while V's ink remained a mystery, triggering a wave of fan conjecture online.
Fans were quick to spot J-Hope's latest tattoo, an uppercase "HOPE" engraved just above his right knee. This is his second public tattoo, following the group's emblematic "7" that he inscribed above his Achilles tendon in 2022.
During their FESTA dinner, the group decided to get a "7" tattoo to symbolise their unity and tragic link. J-Hope's new tattoos, on the other hand, feel more personal, as they are clearly related to his stage name and optimistic image. His visit to Dr. Woo's workshop, which he had previously teased with a Hollywood image, suddenly makes sense as the celebrity unveils this profound creation.
