Masterlist: Oh Hyuk’s tattoos
By bandhyukoh - hyukoh updates. Last updated: February, 2021
To Oh Hyuk tattoos are a part of self-realization because it shows your identity. He has the attitude that when he dies his body will rot anyway - so why not get tattoos (Hypebeast, December 2017).
On multiple occasions he has expressed that many of his tattoos have no meaning e.g. when referring to some of the symbols on his arms (DRDRamc on Jeju Island, July 2016)
Follow this link to watch a video by Dingo where Oh Hyuk is interviewed about his love for tattoos (with English Subtitles).

All of Oh Hyuk’s tattoos in chronological order*
*all dates are approximate and are based on when the tattoo was first spotted and / or posted by the tattoo artist.
^ 20 and crucifix by unknown
In 2014 before their debut in September
His first tattoo was the “20” and it is most likely a reference to his age. He got the crucifix later in 2014. He was very nervous when he got his first tattoo. He originally wanted a bigger tattoo but was too scared (sources: Dingo and Converse Korea).
^ China-Korea by unknown
Before February 2015

^ Erlend Øye & We Come and Go

Text by Park Joochan - I don’t know if Park also tattooed Øye.
Text in February 2015
Erlend Øye in 2014
Oh Hyuk is a big fan of Øye and his former band The Whitest Boy Alive. Oye is also named after him. He later got the tattoo of Erlend Øye covered by a tattoo of McCartney (details below). Read more here.

I assume that he is a fan of Basquiat as he rated the 1996 movie about Basquiat with 4.5 stars on Watcha.

June 2015
Oh Hyuk decided to cover up the Erlend Øye tattoo after he met Øye and he didn’t seem to like the tattoo (source: Dingo). Hyuk changed it to McCartney after he went to his concert – he found him cool. I believe that the ladder might also be by PANTA.
^ Mask by unknown
Before June 2015
I suspect that it might be by Park Joochan as he has done similar work.
