As far as I'm concerned Japan is a lot more open-minded about everything compared to South Korea.

What is the "everything" that you were talking about? As as I'm concerned in this tattoos convo, Korea is more "open-minded" than Japan already because the artists didn't have to cover up their tats when they appear on TV. So, what is "everything" ?

she looks a bit chubby there

Please tell me you're joking...poor BoA's working so hard, that she's lost too much weight.  She needs cheeseburgers, LOL!

I think the tattoo read as Chiara or something like that. the first three letters "Chi", the fourth and last letter seems like between "o" or "a". the fifth letter seems like "v" or "r". well I'm curious with BoA's new tattoo.

[HiEFX]

It looks a bit more like "Bliss" or something.

[Ericia_90]

From what I see from the tattoo, It does look like "C" or "B'. followed by "hi". The rest is a blur to me.

I'm not sure about this info
coz a Korean fan said that  the tattoo looks like Chiara which is BoA's baptismal name
well, I'm no Christian, not sure about BoA's baptismal name either

My niece's name is Kiara, so I find it really interesting and neat that her name is another way to spell BoA's baptist name !

I like that BoA gets tattoos that have some meaning in her life. The calligraphy "B" on her back for her name and her baptist name "Chiara" on her wrist. At least she isn't getting some random "cool" image tattooed that could lose it's appeal down the road.

That's why whenever I meet someone that has a tattoo(s), I ask them a bunch of questions. I still have yet to REALLY decide on what I want and where I want it. I know I want some hangul writing, but a meaning full phrase that will stay will me til I am old :3 I've found a couple from BoA's lyrics, but I am not just going to settle unless I am REALLY sure.

I'm with you! I'm still deciding where & what I want my tat, I have a rough idea but I want to be 101% surer & positive & satisfied with what will stay on my skin for a long long time
I just don't get people just put some random tats on them because it looks cool =.=

[bokachu]

definitely Chiara
