Wave tattoo ༄
Extract of a Live Q&A in which she was asked about the story behind that tattoo:
"I was born in Jeju but unfortunately had the opportunity to settle there for a short time. Almost all the memories I have of it are related to whenever I visit my dad.
I think everyone knows that Jeju is surrounded by the ocean, so the sea is a big part of the island's culture and identity.
Dad has always lived there, he has a seafood restaurant right on the coast - he loves to fish, he often catches his own to cook it on the restaurant. I've gone with him more than once, and when we came back and got off the boat, we always stayed a few minutes with our feet on the shore, looking at the horizon.
That's why I decided to tattoo this wave on my ankle, to remind me of all those moments"
'7' tattoo ✰
The famous friendship tattoo made with the others. The choice of the number '7' does not lie in the number of members as a whole group, but of the other members not counting themselves.
She got it on the same day as Jin, deciding to tattoo it on her arm so that it would always be evident that the bond she has with the boys is indelible.
Stars, moon and sun tattoo ☪
Extract from her tattoo artist's instagram post, published with Chaeri's approval:
"Thank you for your trust Chaeri! Working for you has been a privilege. When you explained the emotions behind the tattoo you had in mind, designing it was clear and easy. As we agreed, I attach the notes from our chat:"
Dragon tattoo ❈
Extract from her monthly box "Ask me a question" on instagram:
"The dragon is strong and fierce, but it's also graceful and elegant. It can soar through the air and breathe fire, but it's also in control of its own power. For me, the dragon represents the kind of person I aspire to be - strong, confident, and in control of my own life. Tattooing it on the back of my neck was a decision I made because I don't think I need to show it around to remind me of what it inspires in me"
Medusa tattoo
She has never stated anything about the tattoo, but sources from former staff members have spread the news that it is a symbol of survival, strength, and overcoming assault.
This then led to the trend that we all know on TikTok.
