The intricate tattoo went viral after it was widely shared online by members of the ARMY (BTS’ official fandom).
As it turns out, the tattoo belongs to an 18-year-old Singaporean student named Michelle Tan.
According to AsiaOne, Tan got herself inked on Sunday during her recent trip to South Korea.
Tan said a friend introduced her to the Seoul-based tattoo artist Saegeem, whom she paid 400,000 won ($358).
She revealed that she came across the image and liked its “vintagey effect.”Tan admitted that her next tattoo might also be BTS-inspired if she finds a design that is “something nice and ambiguous.”
