Some hit back at the nature of the tattoo, calling it ugly and saying it felt inappropriate or like an idol to have.
no offense to him but that tattoo is ugly and getting a tattoo of a naked person is cringe in itself but also?? you’re an idol?? https://t.co/cxB9oh15cb

Didn’t we all agree a few days ago that tattoos of naked women are very dehumanising, sexualizing and misogynistic, why are y’all gagging rn?? https://t.co/Zhpva7J313

Yet, it also sparked a wave of transphobic comments towards the idol regarding their transition and how Cocona looks more like a woman while going by they/them and he/him pronouns.
people will really look you straight in the eyes and call her a man😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 also that arm’s gonna hurt when she inevitably decides to remove that horrendous tat https://t.co/k4geCqxxsW

What’s the point of transitioning if you’re gonna still dress up like a girl?? Just wasting everyone’s time https://t.co/uCnkO8rU2p pic.twitter.com/8XuzUmooVw

Sorry but I’m confused. They looked more like a man when they didn’t officially transitioned than after. So what was the point of all that https://t.co/6cSnhJnGCi
