BLACKPINK member Jennie has sparked online buzz after fans spotted what appears to be a new tattoo on the top of her left foot, with a London-based tattoo artist publicly claiming credit for the design.

On Thursday, a tattoo artist in London identified as Marty shared one of Jennie's recent social media posts, writing, "Tattoo by me on Jennie," while tagging the K-pop star's account. The shared image shows Jennie posing in a vintage lingerie-inspired outfit originally released in 1999.

Fans quickly noticed what appeared to be a previously unseen tattoo depicting a baby angel on the top of her left foot. The artist's public claim of having created the design drew further attention to the new body art.

Online reactions were mixed with curiosity and admiration. "I want to see the design up close," one commenter wrote, while another said, "The top of the foot must have hurt so much since it's mostly bone." Others expressed surprise at the tattoo's size.

Jennie, born Jennie Kim, debuted as a member of BLACKPINK under YG Entertainment in 2016 and has since become one of the most recognizable figures in K-pop. She launched her solo career in 2018 with the hit single "Solo" and later established her own label, Odd Atelier, in 2023, joining a broader wave of top K-pop idols who have moved toward independent ventures while maintaining group activities.

She has previously showcased several small tattoos, though many are subtle or placed in less visible areas, making each newly revealed design a topic of discussion among fans. Tattoos among K-pop idols have historically attracted extra scrutiny in South Korea, where broadcast regulations have required visible tattoos to be blurred or covered on television, though such norms have gradually relaxed in recent years as more public figures display body art openly.

The singer continues to promote her latest solo music following the release of her single "Less than a Lover" on July 24.
