Unless you have been living under a rock, you must have already heard about this swoon-worthy boy band that has been stealing hearts across the globe. The Bangtan Sonyeondan AKA BTS consists of seven oh-so-handsome bandmates: Jungkook, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Park Ji-Min and V.  

Apart from their soul-soothing voice, all seven singers make headlines for their fashion statements. However, only two of these singers, Jungkook and Jimin, are inked. While Jimin only has a couple tattoos, Jungkook, on the other hand, has a number of them.

And today, we have listed down the meaning behind all their tattoos and we bet, you didn’t know about them all.
