Butterfly and Blue Flames
On her left hand, she has got two tattoos in a row, one is a blue butterfly and another one is blue flames.
The symbolism of blue butterflies and flames differs from culture to culture and belief. Butterflies are known as the symbol of ‘transformation and growth’ representing the journey of an egg from becoming a caterpillar to its final transformation as a free butterfly.
On the other hand, ‘blue flames’ are considered as being associated with ‘Intense energy’. Coi’s combination of these two makes the tattoo more appealing signifying a strong meaning.

Cheer Bear Tattoo
Remember the carnation pink-colored bear from the 1980’s animated cartoon series “Care Bears”? Well whether you kept remembering the character of Cheer Bear or not, Coi has not forgotten her and rather has chosen to immortalize the character forever in her right arm!
Although all the bears in the series represent each positive trait, Cheer Bear plays the most crucial role. Throughout the series, she delivers heartwarming messages and is courageous, which led her to be the leader of the group! Her special ability is the “Rainbow of Sunshine”.

Combining these two, she expressed her passion for music.
Coi’s Words Tattoo

The tattoo seems short but the statement holds powerful thoughts. No matter how hard the situation is, always remember that it could have been worse! so buckle up yourself and keep fighting.
Roman Numeral Tattoo
Getting a new name tattoo ain’t the first act of her expressing her self-love! the talented singer has a Roman numeral tattoo on her left forearm. The Roman numeral “V.XI.XCVII” represents 11 May 1997, which is her birth date!

“Girls Don’t Cry” Tattoo
It’s really impressive, how Coi breaks the social stereotype “Boys don’t cry” to “Girls don’t cry”. Although, where “Boys don’t cry” means not expressing boys’ or men’s emotions and putting their headstrong or not being vulnerable! girls don’t cry expresses emotional resilience! it’s Coi’s personal message for girls not to lose their guts in difficult situations and being courageous. The ink breaks gender stereotypes that believe crying is associated with weakness!
Temple with Chinese Characters
Coi also has a temple tattoo with sakura flowers on her spine and under that temple is written “升鸟升”, which is in Mandarin Chinese. The character refers to “Rising Bird” or “Bird Ascending”.
