This week we’ll be covering BoA‘s wrist and finger tattoos.

BoA is one of the original queens of K-Pop that is adored worldwide. She is a treasure in the industry and many may be curious about her, especially fans who are new to K-Pop.

BoA has a wrist tattoo that reads ‘Chiara’. It is her baptismal name and means ‘clear’. She supposedly got the tattoo to cover up a scar that she got during dance practice.

You can often see glimpses of it in the photos that she uploads or that are taken by the media.

She also has a smiley face on the side of her finger. It is not really visible, however, she made sure to share a photo of it on her Instagram for her fans. It definitely reflects her smiley personality.
