All about Jungkook's tattoo

Out of all the endless tattoos marked on the heartthrob's body, the most apparent is the ARMY one on his hand. The tattoo is across his knuckles dedicated to the group's fan base. The A in the army has no line and appears inverted. Many people theorise that it's an amalgamation of BTS' fandom name, "ARMY", and the members' initials (V, RM, and Yoongi).

There's a J on top of the ARMY's M, which is further speculated to stand for Jimin, J-Hope, and Jin's names. A heart beneath the ARMY tattoo could refer to his relentless love for his fans. 

Jungkook also has plus signs between the ARMY letters, while on his thumb one can see '0613' which signifies June 13, the day BTS debuted. 

On Jungkook's right arm, one can spot three-striped lines, which fans have connected to what may seem like the Korean flag. Also, the eagle-eyed fan following spotted Jungkook's golden-coloured eye tattoo which is right below his elbow. 

The singer was also spotted sporting a tattoo under his elbow that says "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life", which was seen during footage from one of his practice sessions. It is written in traditional Chinese characters. 

Addin to the list is a tattoo of a skeleton-hand on his right arm which reportedly means 'RATHER BE DEAD THAN COOL'. 

Among the singer's unending list of tattoos comes a piercing. During earlier live sessions with his fans, he revealed the reason behind his eyebrow piercing. He mentioned that it is real, which he got done after becoming tired of the stickers, which was a hassle for him to maintain. 

 The BTS star, who was born on September 1, 1997, marks his 24th birthday today.
