Since their debut, the members of KATSEYE have us accustomed to a few things: earworms, viral choreos, and plenty of beauty inspo. But the members are also big into body modifications — i.e., piercings and tattoos.
Since their journey began on The Debut: Dream Academy, we've seen the girls on a style journey, often changing up their appearance multiple times. For some members, most notably Lara and Manon, piercings and tattoos have been part of that experimentation, often recounting their experience and “retired” placements during their lives. However, other members like Megan have also been adding to KATSEYE's tattoos — and, in case you were looking for an updated master list of all the designs the members have decided to permanently ink on their skin, you've come to the right place.
Below, find a full updated breakdown of all of KATSEYE's tattoos by member, ranked from most to least inked.
KATSEYE member Lara's tattoos: 10
Lara is, without a doubt, the most tattooed member of KATSEYE. From the last update we got on the group's Weverse Live, the singer currently has eight inks in total. While some of her ink remains private, we have gotten multiple peeks at her more visible inks in music videos and live performances, including “Gnarly.”
Lara Raj's current tattoo count is as follows:
- She has a scorpion behind her ear, in reference to her zodiac sign.
- She has the letters “ZZZ” on her ring finger, in honor of her three cats.
- Multiple stars on her hand, made to resemble the Taurus constellation in honour of her late grandmother, which take centre stage in her selfies and their Glossier campaign. The tattoo was done by Tyler Dillon at The Fig Leaf Tattoo in LA.
- “Love is life and life is free” on her wrist, in reference to Erykah Badu's 2000 song “Didn't Cha Know,” her all-time favourite artist. The design is done in the handwriting of two of her best friends.
- “Habibi” on her upper forearm, a matching tattoo with all her family members.
- “Paranji” on her shoulder in Tamil, the name of her thatha — a.k.a. her grandpa.
- A Scorpio sign on her ribs, again as an homage to her placement
- April 5 in Roman numerals (so APRIL V) on her ribs, in honour of her older sister Rhea Raj's birthday
- Somewhere between after the Kids' Choice Awards and before Lollapalooza, Lara added some ink to her growing collection. The first one seems to be a dainty fairy on her inner bicep, done by Tyler Dillon at The Fig Leaf Tattoo. In late July 2025, she gave fans a peek at the fresh ink via Weverse.
- The second one joins her star constellation and appears to be the word “angel” in Gothic-style typography on her left hand. She also gave fans a close peek via Weverse.
KATSEYE member Manon's tattoos: 7
Manon is the second most tattooed member of KATSEYE, with five inks in total, and, true to her personality, they are all primarily for fun.
Manon Bannerman's current tattoo count is as follows:
- Dots on her three middle fingers, which have been prominent on a lot of her Instagram posts.
- An intricate fine line design on her finger ring, which also featured in the Glossier campaign and other selfies. The tattoo was done by LA-based artist Arbel, who's also tattooed the likes of Bad Bunny.
- Manon seems to have since added to the design with more delicate line motifs expanding down her left hand. The designs were visible at the VMAs 2025 and after leaving a Pandora event in NYC the day after.
- “Ham” on her inner bicep, which she got “just bc i'm hot as a mf” and is also in three of her friends' handwriting — one writing each letter.
- “Femme fatale” on her ribs.
- A fine script on the side of her instep on her left foot, as seen on KATSEYE's Teen Vogue cover story shoot, which is believed to say “Sophie.”
- Dainty-style cursive script above her elbow, which fans spotted as early as June, and Manon showed off at the VMAs 2025 and a Pandora event in NYC.
KATSEYE member Megan's tattoos: 4
Megan is the third most tattooed member of KATSEYE, with an ink count of three tattoos. She debuted her most recent piece in May 2025, just before Mother's Day, during a livestream.
Megan Skiendiel's current tattoo count is as follows:
- A star outline on her ribs, her first tattoo ever, which she got without a set meaning because she loves stars.
- The Qi (Chi) symbol in Chinese behind her left ear, as a nod to her heritage and as a symbol to “receive” the power and energy it symbolises.
- “Love Love” on the back of her arm, in her mom's handwriting, in honor of a saying her mom and grandmother used to say all the time.
- Megan's latest ink addition is a cherry blossom branch behind her right ear, done by LA-based artist Tyler Dillon at The Fig Leaf Tattoo, which is likely also an homage to her heritage. She subtly debuted the tattoo at a Pandora event in New York City, which took place immediately after the 2025 VMAs. Megan wore her hair in an updo for the event, which made the ink visible for those on-site.
KATSEYE members Yoonchae, Daniela, and Sophia's tattoos: None
Yoonchae, Daniela, and Sophia are the only three members of KATSEYE without tattoos — but that might change soon. During a livestream from April 2025, Lara manifested getting group tattoos once Yoonchae turns 18 to mark their bond. (Her birthday is December 6, 2007, for reference.) Will it happen? We'll just have to wait and see!
