10+ Male K-Pop Idols Who Aren’t Afraid To Show Off Their Tattoos

Their tattoos are beautiful and unique to each person!

Tattoos are still a bit taboo for K-Pop idols, but many still choose to embrace and show off their tattoos. There are many idols who fans speculate have tattoos but have never outright admitted it, but here are some male idols who have confirmed their tattoos and are not afraid to flaunt it.

1. ATEEZ’s Wooyoung

Wooyoung is the most recent idol who had fans buzzing about a tattoo. On his right mid-thigh, the Latin phrase “amicus ad aras” (friends until death) can be seen written in pretty script. He uses the phrase with best friend and fellow member San, leading fans to theorize that San may be getting a matching tattoo of the phrase.

2. ATEEZ’s Hongjoong

Hongjoong has a beautiful tattoo on his ankle of wings with “faith” written in the middle. He also recently gave a little peek of what seems to be a spider web on his lower calf.
