In particular, the OP (original poster) claimed that Jimin had copied G-Dragon’s tattoos— not the designs per se, but the placements.
Both Jimin and G-Dragon are known to have multiple tattoos. According to the OP, Jimin has gotten inked in similar body parts as G-Dragon, citing four examples. The first overlap appears to be tattoos on the sides of both the idols’ index fingers.

They also have tattoos on the back of both biceps.

The third design OP pointed out was Jimin’s iconic “Nevermind” tattoo on the side of his rib cage. G-Dragon has a tattoo in a similar spot on his body, and the design reads “Mind Control.”

The post has generated quite the buzz online, drawing divided comments from netizens. While some alleged that the “copying” was intentional, others ridiculed the claims, stating that those were common tattoo placements.

- “BTS has always copied everything from BIGBANG.”
— “It’s so pathetic that he even copied the placements of his personal tattoos.” - “The last one… where exactly are the tattoos the same? The wording is different. What’s going on? Can’t you read?”
- “But aren’t those all pretty common areas? The exact locations are completely different, though.”
— “The important thing is that there are four of them.”

- “LOL. You’re just bored, aren’t you, OP?”
- “Were the tattoo locations copyrighted? What does it matter if he copies it or not?”
- “And so what? Just keep these kinds of observations to yourself.”
