In Korea, tattoos are often frowned upon, which is why few K-pop idols choose to get inked or openly acknowledge having them. There is constant curiosity among fans about idols with tattoos, and Stray Kids fans share the same interest.
Some members have chosen real tattoos with meaningful designs, while others have worn temporary tattoos for concerts, music videos, and concept photos.
Without further ado, let’s learn more about Stray Kids members and their tattoos.
Han
Han Jisung has confirmed that he has four tattoos, each carrying personal meaning. The 24-year-old rapper has the word “Blessed,” a campus inked on his chest. In addition, there is a line from his favorite film Up that reads, “Hope is being able to see that there’s light despite all the darkness.”
His fourth tattoo, a larger piece on his side, reads “Resplendent Life.” Han revealed that he had initially planned for the side tattoo to be small, but when the design draft was drawn, it couldn’t be scaled down. He went ahead with the larger version after receiving permission, though not without a scolding.
Fans caught a glimpse of one of his tattoos during Stray Kids’ fan meeting in February 2025 when he lifted his shirt mid-performance. The reveal was unplanned, and Han later joked that staff had scolded him for exposing it, promising he would “lock up [his] stomach again.”
Felix
Felix caught fans’ eyes during Stray Kids’ Fukuoka concert on August 16, 2023. While performing a solo stage, he removed his shirt, revealing two tattoos on his back: a central winged design and another near his shoulder.
Unlike Han, most of these were temporary, drawn-on tattoos designed to match the group’s styling and stage concepts.
Hyunjin
Hyunjin does not have any publicly confirmed permanent tattoos. However, he has made headlines for experimenting with styles that carry a similar boldness.
Most notably, during a recent performance in São Paulo, Hyunjin debuted a new hairstyle with a spiderweb design shaved into the side of his undercut. Many referred to his look as a “hair tattoo,” a trend where patterns are carved into shaved parts of the hair. While it wasn’t a tattoo in the traditional sense, it caused quite a stir on social media.
Bang Chan
Leader Bang Chan does not have tattoos yet, but has spoken about wanting one. He has mentioned that he’s particularly interested in a Polynesian-style sleeve, but he’s been careful to research it in order to respect the cultural background. For now, Chan has worn temporary tattoos during performances and in concept shoots, and he clarified that those were not permanent.
Other Members
The other members of Stray Kids, Lee Know, Changbin, Seungmin, and I.N — do not have confirmed permanent tattoos. However, they have all worn temporary or drawn-on tattoos for special stages, concerts, and music videos. These designs are usually created to fit the group’s dark and powerful concepts.
Fans have spotted them with scripted words, symbols, and intricate designs across their arms and necks. However, these have always been for styling purposes rather than permanent ink.
Meanwhile, Stray Kids recently released their 4th album, KARMA, last Friday. The album has sold over 2 million copies, and the title track, CEREMONY, is also doing well on the chart.
