Tattoos and piercings are considered unconventional and even frowned upon in the Korean entertainment world. This is also in alignment to their stringent beauty standards that idols are expected to conform to. BTS's Jungkook however has been contesting prejudices, stigma and setting a new precedent for self-expression through his body art and adornments.

Jungkook has a full sleeve of tattoos comprising different inked designs. These include his birth flowers, tiger lilies; a golden stopwatch signifying his single 'My Time' as well as the initials of fellow BTS members and ARMY.
