TWICE Member Establishes Clear Boundaries in Recent Message
TWICE Chaeyoung shuts down tattoo design requests during concerts
TWICE member Chaeyoung is facing backlash after she announced she will no longer be drawing tattoo designs for fans.
The controversy began when a fan asked Chaeyoung on Bubble if she could draw a tattoo design during the Berlin soundcheck.
“Unni, can you draw me a tattoo at the Berlin soundcheck?”
— fan
Soon after, Chaeyoung responded firmly, explaining why she won’t be taking tattoo design requests anymore.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t be doing it anymore! Honestly, there were many fans who asked me to draw tattoos, but I am cautious about it because it’s something you can’t erase and stays permanently on your body. I can’t spend a lot of time on it and have to draw it quickly.
I can’t draw it for every single person that asks for one, and I am in the middle of performing, so I can’t just focus on drawing, so I won’t be drawing designs anymore! I hope you all understand!”
— Chaeyoung
Fans quickly reacted online, supporting Chaeyoung for setting clear boundaries as an artist.
“Completely understandable. I’m glad she set boundaries”

Other fans clarified Chaeyoung’s intentions, emphasizing her seriousness about tattoos.
“Actually, she just thinks getting a tattoo is a very serious matter. She doesn’t want to casually make lifelong decisions for others, nor does she find it annoying or bothersome. Please stop misinterpreting what she means.”
