Interesting to see that all the Koreans pictured had very "western" tattoos, lots of english words, etc.

Of course, I'm not saying they shouldn't have that (anymore than a westerner can't have an asian or polynesian style tattoo), but you would expect at least some examples of more local art style.

It's also interesting that they never once mentioned the link between organised crime and tattoos that make the older Koreans wary of them.

Is that a Korean thing too? I knew about it in Japanese culture but wasn't aware it was also prevalent in Korea.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I bet it's the same. I remember they had weird rules in Japan that you couldn't use the public baths if you had tattoos, or you had to cover them up.

I respect peoples rights to do whatever the hell they want as long as it harms no one else. But to me, she seems intent on rubbing peoples faces in her modifications/tats rather than as a form of self expression.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but as per your point, she skips the entire cultural reason why tats are frowned upon in general, and there doesn't seem to be any investigation as to why the law says doctors are okay to perform tats but artists are not (guessing it's a thin justification along the lines of a health issue to make it essentially completely illegal).

Are her eyes ....inked?

How is that even done?

I guess so...

But ow.

I seem to recall the first guy she interviewed said that Korea didn't have a tattoo culture before this. So it's being created and defined by the youth of the 21st century, with ample access to western culture, and besides, western themes probably piss their parents off even more.
There was also a lot of ink on some of those people and we could have easily missed something due to the short amount of time or our lack of knowledge of Korean culture.

@Asmo
I'm not sure how she rubbed people's faces in it, she seemed like she was just being herself. It would be hard to be as modded as she is and not stick out like a sore thumb.
And their laws sound like the same kind of technical bullshit that places like Texas use to try and outlaw abortion. That being said, if a doctor could legally become a tattoo artist then being the only legal tattoo shop in town might make for an interesting opportunity.

It just feels like she goes full mod to deliberate cause a stir rather than a fulfillment of some internal "I want to look like this!".

Just an opinion/observation, she's entitled to do what she likes and I fully support her decision to look however she wants. I just think the motive is less than pure. ; )
