Yuchun is sexy too with tattoo on chest! And in his leg.😊
Agree with you. Not because im his fan. But his indian feather tattoo on his leg is unusual yet beautiful. And not so many people have bigtattoo on the leg. Thats why it makes him look sexy
That tattoo on his leg, was perfect!
he has that mommy tattoo though that’s going to look straight at you when ever you look at his back
the ultimate mother in law 👀
seriously though. …his chest tattoo is is pretty ❤ he needs to expose more Chunchest !
I want that ink too 😊
congrats
Yeah,baby # 1
Jaejoong..one of a kind tattoo on his belly…oh its very UNIQUE!
Kim jaeoong is the best tattoo ♡♥
I voted! ^o^
I have to say I like JJ’s back tattoos more than the rest … though I do wish he use a different font size and design for his yoochun and Junsu tattoo.
may we make this a tattoo pic spam post ? ……please
and there’s a please 😀
Let me start, this is one of top favorites ❤ , love the angle
@Kris I can’t remember seeing this photo before but I love it, especially the way it shows all the tattoos on his back in their deliberate proportion.
I can see Jaejoong’s unmistakable sense of proportion. He also knows how to optically emphasize the focal points (No wonder he is a desiger, too). The points of focus: broad shoulders, narrow waist and a long back are brought out by a wide shoulders tatt and then the line along the spinal cord makes his back look endless and draws the eye to the more narrow tatt on a small waist..
@anna liza
I think it’s one of the unreleased cuts from Mahalo magazine, maybe he was just playing around with that pic, Here’s one of the released pics
@ kris Ah, yes! I remember now That background should have rang a bell but I was focusing more on skin than walls 😉
@ meme & JYJ
My speak on proportions should have been here. This is an even better illustration of what I meant: wide, long, narrow 3:6:1
Remember to spazz on tattoos only and nothing more 😀
Sorry unnie I didn’t notice your warning,… LOL
Gorgeous!
Joongie, I am not particularly fond of tattoos and I wince in pain every time I see a new tattoo on your unblemished beautiful skin but I zealously voted for you first because you deserve to be number 1 in any poll you have been entered and secondly, because looking at the gross and ugly tattoos of some of those idols, I realized that yours are tastefully done, each one of your tatts has a meaning and a message and they are put discreetly at places where they can be hidden or revealed depending on the occasion and environment.
I voted for jaejoong oppa, congratz oppa. You have the best tattos ❤ ❤
Jaejoong before and after chest/belly tattoo (but not before piercing)
oh..he got belly piercing 🙂 … i have belly piercing instead of tattoo,,,too afraid of havin’ a tattoo, can’t watch the needle taking long time on my skin..that’s why i love Jaejoong tattoo on his backbone, the top to bottom..the backbone is much painful to have tattoo..tattoo done on bony part of skin is much painful than the fleshy part…also JJ tattoo emphasize a balance between his beautiful flawless skin,,it was done perfectly to be shown or to hide..that’s where the sexiness comes in 🙂 so glad he got the number 1..
With all the pain he had to endure to have all those tattoos, no wonder he’s proud to show them all onstage. His body is a work of art, a masterpiece, both by nature and human hands.
I forget what every tattoo says on JJ. Can someone tell me what every tattoo says?
@ Flower Hi Flower. I didn’t write earlier coz I didn’t want to appear again as a “know it all” and waited for someone else to respond.
Top left was the first tattoo that JJ had. It was done in several stages and is incomplete in this photo. Many people think it was done after DBSK split but they did it with YC in 2005 in Las Vegas. It only read TVfXQ Soul. In 2008 JJ added on both sides the Musical sign (G clef) within which are words. The left clef reads “The pleasure of the mighty are the tears of the poor” and the right one says “A song will outlive all sermons in the memory” Between them and below the original tattoo was inscribed “Hope to the end”. JJ said he designed them himself. I now think these were the first signs that he already had problems with SM but at that time this didn’t occur to me. Later in 2008 the wings were added (not shown in this photo) designed by Jaejoong himself.
The next year (2009) JJ added on the lower half of his spine in Roman numerals 0126 0204 (meaning January 26 and February 04 JJ’s actual and recorded birth dates). The same year he put the first tattoo on his chest (together with YC) reading “Always keep the faith” (designed by JJ) and Deferto Neminem (Accuse/Blame no one which is a quotation from Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet)
The following year 2010 he returned to his back with the Micky Junsu tattoo which he said is a memorial for their debut as JYJ while YC put JJ’s and JS names on his back. Junsu refused to do it, citing Christianity. That’s why during the Ichigo Ichie concert JJ and YC were trolling JS, showing him how they had his name on their bodies while he didn’t have theirs and even teased him that they will tattoo their names on JS’s car which he also refused.
In 2010 JJ did the last tattoo on the upper half of his spine which reads “Ohne Glauben Bist Du Tot”. This remained a mystery for some time, first because it’s in German and secondly the letters are in adifficult to read Gothic style. The meaning is “Without faith/belif, you are dead”
Then there was a bit of a tattoo hiatus till in the promotions and concerts for the WWW album in 2013 he started appearing with numerous tattoos on his knuckles, arms, belly and chest, they were all fake but it looks like his tattoo itch had returned. When the butterfly tattoo appeared in November 2013 most of us thought at first it was also fake till he said it’s permanent. All of JJ’s tatts are records of stages in his life or reminders of what to do or not to do. A butterfly is a symbol of life transformation. It signified the new stage of Kim Jaejoong as a solo singer as well as his first full solo album. It is also a reminder not to love someone for their physical beauty but for their inner beauty.
The last tatt revealed summer 2014 took us by surprise with its size and placement and also we couldn’t quite read the Latin quote (by St Augustine). It says “Ama et fac quod vis” (love and do what you wish) meaning whatever you do, if you do it with love in your heart, you can do no wrong.
Well, this was a long but it covers a period of 10 years. Hope you find the answers you seek.
Thank you for sharing the information – especially about the newer tats
@ random.You are welcome. I am always glad to share with each other 🙂
You are one of my most favorite “know it alls” Anna-Liza. ❤
Seriously thank you for the info. How I would love to read JJ's tattoos in person myself and check the validity of your report. 😉
I remember JS didn’t get a tattoo because he didn’t have permission from his parents and couldn’t mark the body his parents gave him.
I think I may be a JS know it all! 🙂
Don’t go there, Cheryl, don’t go there. It’s dangerous. You might start imagining your finger tracing places …
Yes, Junsu gave a number of reasons and the ones you were saying were also part of the excuses. As I am writing, I must clarify that in principle, I do not favour tattoos, but JJ alwaysmanages to turn everythinfg upside down, so that I admit (after some initial reservations) that they actually are tastefully done and also discreetly and look good on him and are not gross as some I’ve seen, so I’ve excused him but hope I’ve seen the end of that stage..
I may already be imagining starting with the tattoos on Jae’s back and examining them very closely, running a finger along the lettering…Then turning around to focus on his front…
Sorry I’m cheating on my bias aren’t I? Who was that again? Umm…Junsu yes yes JUNSU! Junsu time!
I remember my bias saying this stuff about his parents (Was it in a concert talk? While they were in those holiday costumes?) but I’m not sure when. Also hilariously he refused to allow his car to be tattooed or marked in any way.
JJ does turn stuff around but I will admit I like some tattoos. I have one very small but meaningful one on my back.
@anna liza p.m. Thank you so much for your reply and for being a “know it all”, LOL!!!! I love that you know a lot and can share your knowledge with me, I feel very lucky and happy to know of you!!!!!!! Can you tell me where is the JS and YC tattoo on his back?
@ Flower Hi, Flower. If you scroll back to the top of this page where the photographs are (above the poll results), observe on the right the two lower photos. They show the JS/YC tattoos. On the left side of his lower back it says Micky and on the right is Junsu. The letters are quite bold and big but you may need to magnify to see them more clearly..
Let take a peek on the front tattoos …
This is for you our dearest soldier. Stay strong.
#WaitingForJaejoong
I’ll just try if the gif that I’ve made will show. If not, may I request the adminnie to just delete my post. thanks.. 🙂
Yay, SUCCESS, congratz @caylen, DAEBAK , your gif is awesome, I don’t know how to make that 🙂
Haha, thanks unnie. I posted it yesterday at my tumbler account and now I remember what you said before that you only know how to post gif if it’s from tumbler, so I tried it today. But this other gif, is not moving anymore, I don’t know why. I’ll try to post it here, let’s see if it moves. Sorry adminnie, JYJ3 became my practice zone.. 🙂
Arrghh, it’s still not moving. Hope someone will give me the idea why it’s not moving anymore. That was my favorite gif because of the cute & sweet smile of JJ. 😦
Let me try this GFF performance. Promise adminnie, this will be the last gif that I’ll post for now.. 🙂
Diligent practice makes perfect, by 2017, at Jaejoong’s comeback be sure to spam us with gifs 😀
Love the GFF fancams, HQ with natural light and fresh make-up free JJ, you will make greats gifs from them, Fighting!
@kris Actually unnie that gif from melody and harmony is moving while posting in tumbler but when it’s already uploaded it’s not moving anymore. Maybe the file is too big..I’ll try to shorten it a bit.. I still have some gifs but adminnie might not allow it if I post more. Anyway I’ve already posted all my gifs and collages in my tumbler account.
@kris, Unnie I didn’t stop until I got what I want.. I’m really sorry adminnie, but this time I’ll keep my promise that this will be the last gif that I’ll post.. 🙂
Never surrender 🙂
How I missed those good old days when fans were learning together how to tweet pictures and post them here in JYJ3. The only thing I knew was to post a comment. It took me maybe a month of trying, every time I attempted to post pic, it won’t appear and when I finally did it, I was like a child … so happy 😀
I also experienced that in tumbler, my gif didn’t move and it’s so time consuming for a beginner to google search what needs to be done, that’s why I take a break from gifs. I admire your diligence, great job @caylen 🙂
@kris, thanks unnie. When I really want something I don’t stop till I get it and I always give my best in everything I do, even in this fangirling thing.. lol
Even still it’s still so beautiful. Perfect even.
@Cheryl, I’m glad you like it. I’m learning slowly. JJ is a good and pretty subject for learning.. 🙂
NOOOOO this happy JJ & chunface memories 💔
