Tattoos aren't entirely illegal in South Korea, but you're can only tattoo if you're a medical professional, and since no one is going to medical school just to become a tattoo artist, most of the tattoo trade in South Korea is illegal.
Holy wow dude. That Maul piece is absolutely gorgeous! Super realistic. Also that samurai froggy. That is easily one of the best pieces I have ever seen. Everything about it is so damn good! Outstanding artists. Seeing pieces like these are what keeps me aspiring to be a better tattoo artist.
Tattooing is not illegal in South Korea. But you need a doctors degree to tattoo. Since it’s seen as something surgical there. Becoming a doktor takes very long. So that’s why there are allot of illegal tattoo artists there. And the reason they are so good. Is because of the respect they have for there work and clients.
wish i had money to get tattoos in Asia, most of tattoo artists in Brazil just stop practicing and studying when they start to make money with crap tattoos, they don't even care if someone's 14 years old as long as they get money
Worse than the ribs or elbow? I really want one on my elbow, and have been contemplating a different one on my ribs. My first tattoo was the inner bicep and WOW it's not talked about enough that it's a painful spot.
@@stevenpope940 yeah, collar bone and chest was brutal. The ribs and stomach weren’t that bad and I had been avoiding that area. Ain’t no other way to find out but by sitting in the chair and one minute in realizing this was a terrible idea.
That Darth Maul, holy sh*t! I loved how the cats nose looked wet. I look forward to your videos every week Pony. and I loved the one the from Inked recently. Are you by chance going to come to the Michigan area sometime? 🤔
Wow.... that Darth Maul.... fucking amazing!! It's insane how realistic that is. Awww the skull in the jar is so cute. Great kitty tattoo. Super cute. Great detail.
DJ is indeed a beast. Such an incredibly talented and well rounded artist. Also that Homer Simpson is sick! Also, I'm an artist and I like that watercolour back piece. What does Pony know anyway? 😋 The cat is very cool but I think it could have done with some wispy ear fur. And the frog samurai is insane!
Overseas definitely are better when it comes to realism because 90% of them are perfectionists my lady did a rose tattoo on my forearm and it took her almost the whole day to complete because she made it look amazing
The teeny tiny baby teeth on the cat are just plain adorable! I hope the customer is super happy with the cute little kitty!!! Darth Maul was totally perfect. Like that it was more protected from the sun. Yes, it still needs sunscreen but would have needed more on the other side of the arm. He should have that forever, super stoked about that!!!
I've got really mixed feelings with watercolor tattoos. They seem to be either really good or very meh with no in between. The one in the video seemed like it was incomplete or something, like it needed something to bounce off of or contrast with. Idk maybe I just love contrast too much
Tattoo collector frome south Korea here. It is legal to perform a tattoo on someone else, if you have a medical liscence. Which makes only 1 legal tattoo artist in korea. Lot of illeagal tattoo artists in korea are all talanted
UV tattoo last for 10 years if you use the invisibe "blue" ink. All the others last like normal ink but lose the UV light effect after some years. The ink itself is very milky and stings a bit more then normal. You need to apply it more then one time for good cover and do not work well with liner needle. I am not a tattoo artist but have a lot of UV tatoos. Or had a lot of them.
I've never heard about tattooing in South Korea illegal however, Soldiers get tattooed over there all the time. I got an arm piece that the young lady freehanded on my shoulder, back of the shoulder, all the way down to the my mid forearm. Took about 11 hours.
soooo the one thing I see wrong with the skull in the bottle is that it should have been distorted slightly sitting in the liquid. even if it's just the lines shifted
I walked into a tattoo shop in South Korea and got a tattoo back in 2004 when I was stationed there. Definitely not illegal. Although it probably should be. The floor was sticky which should have been a red flag, right. It was only my second tattoo ever though and i was young and dumb. ...then the guy was leaning over me to tattoo the underside of my bicep as I was laying on my back and he was dropping ashes off his CIGARETTE ON MY CHEST as he did it. Looking back it was a wild experience and honestly it was worth it even if it is a shit tattoo. Knowing now how clean everything should be and how dirty that shop was and the fact the dude was smoking while he did my tat...CRAZY.
I heard you need a medical license to practice tattooing in Korea. It's generally frowned upon but I did see a lot of Koreans sporting great inks when I was there.
It's time man. Branch out. Bring in unknown artists They critic your tattoos & stuff. Before you know it. You got you a full on show. Broadcasters giving you millions
South Korean law permits only licensed medical practitioners, as opposed to tattoo artists without medical degrees, to open tattoo parlors, although it is not illegal to have a tattoo.
DJ Tambe won Ink Master 3 times. He is amazing but why did they let him win 3 times?? They should have given other great artists the opportunity to win that money.
He won as a contestant than as a coach when they brought back previous winners. The coaches and contestants competed separately that season so they gave out 2 100k prizes. One to a coach and one to a contestant.
They had a competition. That is giving other artists the opportunity to win. Opportunity is only as good as what you do with it. If those other great artists got out done by DJ, then DJ deserved to win again.
I like your videos for the most part... I just can't get past the "Collector." So weird. So pretentious. It is an example of what is going wrong with the tattoo community in the last twenty years.
Do you not see the irony in scoffing at that water color inspired flower fineline tattoo when that’s literally what you do…? Let’s be real the micro tattoos are not gonna last forever either so you coulda just left it at it’s not your style lol

Highest rates per capita for plastic surgery in the world but can’t get a tattoo.
Highest suicide rate/lowest birth rate in the world too.
The Darth Maul tattoo is so realistic they got the sticker part of the horn makeup that Lucas Films weren't able to blend seamlessly 😅
Holy wow dude. That Maul piece is absolutely gorgeous! Super realistic. Also that samurai froggy. That is easily one of the best pieces I have ever seen. Everything about it is so damn good! Outstanding artists. Seeing pieces like these are what keeps me aspiring to be a better tattoo artist.

I have 3 tattoos from SK and love them all!
I’m pretty heavily tattooed and have done all the “bad” spots and the inner bicep is either the worst or 2nd worst. Great video.
Worse than the ribs or elbow? I really want one on my elbow, and have been contemplating a different one on my ribs. My first tattoo was the inner bicep and WOW it's not talked about enough that it's a painful spot.
My actual nipple is tattooed through. The absolute pain was the worst.
@@toastom no it's not worse than ribs or stomach. I would add knee ditches as well. Inner bicep can be tough but plenty of more painful spots
@@stevenpope940 yeah, collar bone and chest was brutal. The ribs and stomach weren’t that bad and I had been avoiding that area. Ain’t no other way to find out but by sitting in the chair and one minute in realizing this was a terrible idea.
My homie Gerardo always does killer work! That frog is one of his older pieces as he does more anime tattoos now and they’re amazing!
Ever done a video of colorful tattoos on dark(er) skin. Would love to see opinions on those
These just make me look at my tattoos harder and want more
That Darth Maul, holy sh*t! I loved how the cats nose looked wet. I look forward to your videos every week Pony. and I loved the one the from Inked recently. Are you by chance going to come to the Michigan area sometime? 🤔
I don’t have any plans in the near future, I will be at hell city in Ohio though 🤔
@@PonyLawson figures, same weekend as Motor City comic con. Damn, so close 😂
@@PonyLawsonThere's a Hell in Michigan, too!😅
❤ ABSOLUTELY love Pony and his channel, such variety of art
Wow.... that Darth Maul.... fucking amazing!! It's insane how realistic that is.
Awww the skull in the jar is so cute.
Great kitty tattoo. Super cute. Great detail.
DJ is indeed a beast. Such an incredibly talented and well rounded artist.

The cat tatt is absolutely gorgeous omfg 😍
Yay I really needed this today. Thank you Mr. Lawson 😢
Some dope tats in this video, especially that Darth Maul and the Samurai Frog😮💨👌
This is a fun video. I've been spending a lot of time on Reddit so far in 2023 more so then I ever have. The "Shittytattoos" sub is a gold mine.
I'm obsessed with the cat tattoo! The details are insane, especially the way they captured the tiny teeths!
Overseas definitely are better when it comes to realism because 90% of them are perfectionists my lady did a rose tattoo on my forearm and it took her almost the whole day to complete because she made it look amazing
That cat!!! My favorite ❤ well done tatts this episode
The teeny tiny baby teeth on the cat are just plain adorable! I hope the customer is super happy with the cute little kitty!!! Darth Maul was totally perfect. Like that it was more protected from the sun. Yes, it still needs sunscreen but would have needed more on the other side of the arm. He should have that forever, super stoked about that!!!
I really liked the watercolor musical notes.
I've got really mixed feelings with watercolor tattoos. They seem to be either really good or very meh with no in between. The one in the video seemed like it was incomplete or something, like it needed something to bounce off of or contrast with.
Idk maybe I just love contrast too much
I don’t have any tattoos but I appreciate the art and you sir have the art down.
On Ink Master they would say that a Frog couldn't hold a sword like that and eliminate it lol.
😂 Yes! I have missed the toilet tattoo! 🚻 ❤😅
That frog is sensational!
one thing about the Darth Maul, I would think the eyes should be more squinted with the expression he's making.
The samurai frog is from an Episode on INK MASTER I am pretty sure.
Tattoo collector frome south Korea here. It is legal to perform a tattoo on someone else, if you have a medical liscence. Which makes only 1 legal tattoo artist in korea.
Lot of illeagal tattoo artists in korea are all talanted
Those cats eyes and little teeth!

I am not a tattoo artist but have a lot of UV tatoos. Or had a lot of them.
What is the Korea UV tattoo of? I can make out anything but a little yellow doodle. I hate this about myself.
I've never heard about tattooing in South Korea illegal however, Soldiers get tattooed over there all the time. I got an arm piece that the young lady freehanded on my shoulder, back of the shoulder, all the way down to the my mid forearm. Took about 11 hours.
The Toilet Tattoo has returned !!! Yeesssss
soooo the one thing I see wrong with the skull in the bottle is that it should have been distorted slightly sitting in the liquid. even if it's just the lines shifted
Yes!!!! Also, the liquid on the back side of the skull was started on the right side, but didn’t come back to the left side of the bottle!
I walked into a tattoo shop in South Korea and got a tattoo back in 2004 when I was stationed there. Definitely not illegal. Although it probably should be.

The cat portrait is missing the lower canines. Despite the reference photo, you would at least see one if not both
Any tips on where to get a tattoo in Tokyo or Kyoto?
DJ tambe submitted a piece? He’s super advanced and can tattoo anything. No surprise he’d get a great critique.
Want to open my own tatto shop some day
I believe the back tattoo is "song of ice and fire" the name of the game of thrones series...? idk
I've always wanted to get moth wings on my back, with UV to make them really pop under black light. But I'm not the most original person ever XD
I have been thinking about getting a samurai frog tattoo.
Yoo pony the beatbox god 😂😂😂
I heard you need a medical license to practice tattooing in Korea. It's generally frowned upon but I did see a lot of Koreans sporting great inks when I was there.
I'm pretty sure its not illegal in South Korea it is just suposed to be done by a medical professional. I don't know what that entails.
Yes that was Money $$!
“… Definitely still something that i wouldn’t be a fan of” ….. Pony, get out of my head, man! 😄
It's time man. Branch out.
Bring in unknown artists
They critic your tattoos & stuff.
Before you know it. You got you a full on show. Broadcasters giving you millions
Sheeeesh
HAHAA! I’m old school black light 🤘✌🏼
F me? DJ did that darth maul? Wow
South Korean law permits only licensed medical practitioners, as opposed to tattoo artists without medical degrees, to open tattoo parlors, although it is not illegal to have a tattoo.
I want a UV tattoo so bad but I can’t find anyone who does them near me 😭
Cool
A+ on the Biden clip 😂
I have Maul myself and love it but dayum
DJ Tambe won Ink Master 3 times. He is amazing but why did they let him win 3 times?? They should have given other great artists the opportunity to win that money.

The horn that looks like its unfinished is meant to look like that
The best things come out when it's illegal. 😅
Carlos Brown is a nice attempt but Charlie Brown = Carlito Café
unreal use of that joe biden clip lol
Came to the comments for this 😂
Dam pony the white tunnels again?? Why did u go back after finally changing them to black.
The very first tattoo that DJ did it kinda looks like cover up but dam that’s badass tattoo, them horns look likes coming out of skin
I did not expect Biden to make an appearance 🤣
I just found your channel and i have to say this "johnny sins of tattoos"
Tattooing is not illegal in South Korea
😂😂😂
they aren't KSwiss they're 2 bagettes
You should review tattoos on r/shittytattoos instead
Biden's gonna give us soundbytes for years!
Hairy legs 😂🤣
Toilet tattoo XD
0:55 🤢🤮
That’s an arm pit area 👁️👁️😖
TOTALLY DISGREE ABOUT THE REDHEAD. ITS BAD AND IT DIDNT USE ENOUGH WHITE AT ALL.
That dearth maul was dope, but that background makes me sick to my stomach, black patchiness is gross
swiss cheese. not cheddar.
6:08 She gained some stretch marks, but that's about it.
I like your videos for the most part...
I just can't get past the
"Collector."
So weird. So pretentious.

He did comment about it being on the top layer of skin and not deeper in. Not specifically that it being small was the problem.
hahaha Darth Maul suuuuccckkksss. Not that tattoo: that sht's amazing; the character of Darth Maul is absolute trash.
