When an artist decides to etch not just a word but an entire story onto their skin, it’s almost always a deliberate gesture. This is precisely the case with J-Hope from BTS’s latest body art: the artist’s forearm now features the silhouettes of all seven group members, whose poses and gestures literally form the letters of the word “ARMY” – the name of their fan community. The work was published on September 10th on social media, accompanied by the caption “BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’, LOS ANGELES,” and the black-and-white shot of the tattoo instantly captured the audience’s attention.
