Out of all seven BTS members, Jung Kook is the one who sports the most tattoos (with Jimin following closely behind). Despite having multiple designs on his body, Jung Kook didn’t hesitate to pick out which one of his tattoos was his favorite in a recent interview with SiriusXM.

When host Michael Tam asked the global superstar if he had a favorite among his many tattoos, Jung Kook immediately referred to one on his right forearm of a tiger flower. “I like my birth flower tattoos because of its flower language. It means ‘Please give me love,'” Jung Kook said. “It’s beautiful and painful at the same time, so I like it.”
