Jackson Wang stuns with his smoldering looks on SUPERELLE China.
Jackson Wang gave fans something to talk about as he uploaded a stunning photo of himself posing for the cover of SUPERELLE China.
The latest issue showcases not only Jackson's handsome face and equally nice physique but also his tattoos, a hot topic that was also featured in his article.
In the issue, Jackson revealed that he inked eight tattoos recently namely, 福 or luck, a lantern, a mouse, a rooster, the Singapore Youth Olympic Games logo, a fencing sword, the Team Wang logo, and cookies.
According to the GOT7 member, “On my right shoulder is a '福' (luck)
“Every year, during Chinese New Year, we would paste this character upside down to symbolize that luck is here -- it's our culture.
“So I put this on and the direction is towards my head so luck is always on me.”
Tattooed on his right arm is an illustration of a lantern that Jackson said reminded him of a mid-Autumn Festival when he was 7 or 8 years old.
He said, “When I went to the park in the afternoon, all the other kids carried a lantern except for me --- my brother and parents didn't prepare it and I didn't plan on celebrating it either.
“When I got home, I saw dishes and mooncakes on the table and lots of lanterns.
“When I saw all of that, I immediately cried.
"In my heart, I wanted a lantern too but I told myself that it's alright."
Speaking of his parents, he keeps them close by marking their zodiac signs on each of his forearm -- a Rat for his mom and a Rooster for his dad.
Fans can also see the logo of the Singapore Youth Olympics and a fencing sword on his left to symbolize his past as a champion fencer.
In the magazine interview, Jackson said that the decision to get the tattoos came after reflecting on his goals.
He said, “This year, I had some time alone and thought about many things -- the happiest things in life, what I believe in, where my heart is, and what image I want to portray.
“I just kept thinking and reflected a lot. I began to understand myself more.
"Through this, I figured that I want to get tattooed.
“I hesitated because I thought I wouldn't be able to pull it off, but I thought, it's tattooed on my body and it doesn't harm others.
“This is my decision. This is me.”
