so.... plastic surgery is considered a norm in this culture but tattoos are somehow shamed?? that makes no sense at all! this is so sad and needs to change. :(
yeah mam . i too think Plastic surgery is so worst . they are plain faking their faces and body because they couldnt accept reality that they are not a fucking doll .
Mom please No!! People don’t get plastic surgery to look like a doll. Maybe in Korea but like people get plastic surgery to feel comfortable in their own skin or they’re forced too. Like if you have big boobs you have to get them smaller or else your back will be so bad. But of course people will get it to “fit the norm” but yeah...

Wow, that must be heart broken for you. I’m also Canadian, Chinese descent, I did my first tattoo on my chest,a memorial piece to remember my grandparents (mom side) that raised me. Last year, my grandfather(dad side) has past away, I went extreme, got a full sleeve tattoo on my right arm also a memorial piece. Now, I have a half sleeve & a full sleeve on my arms also 2 chest pieces.

@@devinpeirce7152 why r u commenting this to everyone who wants tattoos.. Well i hope that made you feel good saying that but it certainly didn't feel good to multiple people
Prostitution is illegal in Korea. Koreans wont brag about sleeping with prostitutes but will openly show off their tattoos. Its just the business is not legal.
So judging them makes everything better ? Teach the ignorant or spread individualism thru kindness. Not an eye for an eye If so nothing will ever chance. And tbh us North Americans do have a huge drug problem. The Us is rated 3rd highest with South Korea being at 76th. 😒
wtf this guy Apro just shared his face all over the world, knowing he is a criminal by South Korean standards, im sure if the authorities see him they will arrest him for his illegal activities? why did he show his face ?
Its not legal but government/law enforcements don't care enough to lock them up like how weed is in US and their some illegal states. They all have open Instagram accounts and does their businesses quite freely.
I love Eating Mod Podge it’s strange beyond reason how some people would rather value looks and reputation over their own children. I too come from a culture where I would be harshly judged if I got tattoos and body mods too but I just think at the end of the day who cares? It’s literally your child? They got a tattoo they didn’t change anything about their personality or values?? It’s mind boggling
LittleGirlLovesMusic it’s not really mind boggling when you actually know what tattoos use to represent in their culture, it’s like if we white People were to rape someone it has the same negative view on it because of gangs in the past. The parents still hold onto that, it’s like how some old war veterans won’t even talk about the countries they fought against.
@@DeKosta It's sentimental. I guess you *could* look at it as morbid and depressing, but it can also be seen as the last proof of his existince. Yeah it is sad but it's also very beautiful.
The idea of this scares me a little bit because if it's illegal, that means it's not being regulated. I'm sure that Apro is good at what he does, but there are certainly many more tattoo artists who are doing it without proper training and could seriously harm their clients...
It's not illegal. To be a tattoo artist, you need a medical license. I'm guessing this is because you are working on human bodies and the is a more than average chance of infection of the proprietor isn't careful. It actually is too regulated. Requiring a medical license is too steep a slope. Lighter regulations like certification that ensures that health standards are maintained would go a long way. But the tattoo industry isn't big enough for the government to care. This whole documentary is clickbait and blown out of proportion in my opinion.
@@psychowordsmith Something being too state-regulated always ends up being unregulated in terms of safety. The black market assumes command of supplying the demand and there are no rules limiting them since what they are doing is illegal anyways.
@@yanni-duff Exactly what I mean. The current regulations are too high for most businesses to operate, leading to black market tattoo studios. This is why I mentioned lighter regulations that aren't too restrictive, but still ensures customer safety.

@@devinpeirce7152 you've been commenting on everyone who says "i want a tattoo" who are you to tell them not to get tattoos? As if its making a difference
I know that. But that is not the same as believing you will magically become a criminal once you get a tattoo. And it's the other way around. You already are a criminal and then get the tattoo. what an older generation associate it with is completely irrelevant. Facts matters. You won't go kill someone after you get a tattoo.
the level of it’s severity by the law is equivalent to getting your bike stolen. you can report it to the police but are they actually gonna go out and search around for a bike? being a tattoo artist in korea is breaking the law and technically that makes you a criminal but most police officials won’t go wasting cell space. it’s more of a crime against culture rather than society (at least to the older generation)
Weird? You must be young. When I was a kid where I grew up, only two groups of people had tattoos - sailors and former prisoners. I.e. only people "up to no good" in the public view.
Grace is the kind of woman you'd want to do your next tattoo piece. Then have a drink and a chat about it afterwards. 👩♥️ So outside of the whole K-POP obsession. There's this cool underground tattoo scene.I wanna visit south Korea. 🇰🇷🤘
her life doesn’t revolve around meeting anyone’s standards. I personally think anyone’s style preference has its own beauty. the fact that someone can be so passionate to the point of committing to a style permanently (e.g tattoos) is amazing to me.
To everyone going on about tattoos being 'illegal' in South Korea: Get Your Facts Straight! It is illegal to operate a tattoo studio*without a medical license*. Basically you are a doctor of sorts since your profession involves working on the human body. The studios shown in this documentary are 'illegall', because they don't have a medical license. On to my opinion: Regulating the tattoo industry to ensure health standards is a good idea, but the requirements in Korea are too high. A recognised certification of basic health and safety training and sanitation standards for the studio would be the way to go. Obviously, the tattoo industry isn't really important enough for the Korean government to invest the time and money into this. On the flip side, this will keep prices lower for customers since running without a medical license doesn't really seem to be that much of a problem.
Got tattooed at 15 havent stopped wont stop, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, lost relationships bc of them and gained. Moral is if you want one get one
wow @ around by 1:40-ish.... you two both are such physically beautiful human beings, to the eye, automatically, entranced already before the 'liter-ar-al-ary-ituation-ing'.Ahem, that, by then already had me roped with its intrinsic subtleties.. as if the content wasnt enthralling to a 13year Tattoo veteran Artist enough already..... kudos Vice,
I read all these comments about parents crying and being so upset because of tattoos. My parents have tattoos, though they said they wouldn't repeat that because it hurts
I don't mind other people with tattoos, in fact, I think it's cool, but I can't get around the fact that once you have them, they're basically there for life
Great videos of Asian culture, and L-O-V-E Grace Neutral!!! BTW anyonw knows the name of the song starting in 5:45 in the backgorund in the Mystic disco?
I hope I don’t get shot down in flames for going off subject, I’m not sure if this is appropriate in these times, but I have to say, Grace is sooooo beautiful. Obviously I mean physically, but her inner beauty is, to me, devastatingly beautiful. The world needs ALOT more Grace Neutrals.....I feel we wouldn’t be burning the house down as we sit on the sofa so much. Dean South Wales

No wonder the place I got my tattoo at in korea looked like a dog house never knew it was illegal to get a tattoo in South Korea lmao you learn something new every day.
Youre really a very nice person. That was so nice of you to get a tattoo from him there. Sorry for them... I like what youve said in another video of you: "You can get a plastic surgery at 16, but you cant be a tattoo artist" or something like that. It really makes you think....
I’m not that into eye ball tattooes cuz of the risks but damn these fit for some people well! Her eyes are so beautiful. Edit would be so sad to live in a country that discriminated such a beautiful artform. I just love tattoos so much and I’m lucky that in my culture is just ok and normal to be covered in them! The things we take for granted 😕
Over the past 20 years tattoos habe came a long way in America, when i was younger i was avoided in public like i was death reincarnated, a criminal, or psycho. I started my process to rebel against the so called norm and to feel more complete as a individual. Not as a fashion statement or to be "cool" i couldn't imagine having to be completly underground.
For Filipinos, our traditions contain tattoos specially in the tribes. We have Pintados, a festival celebrating the art of tattoos. The tattoos that are incorporated in the body are usually found in tribal warriors that gives remembrance of their victories but now the elders think that if you have a tattoo you went to prison.
I think people are missing the point of why they feel so negatively about tattoos...I'm sure if you associated having a tattoo with physically being ripped away from your family and life you know just for having one you'd be a little hesitant as well...
Purple eyes, gold teeth, nose spacer, tattoos all over her body including the palms of her hands, and scarring in between her eyes but the human body is beautiful. Really.
I was hoping for a discussion of the reasons it was illegal there, as they may be well-founded...may be that the risk of disease transmission in this market is uncontrollable. Also, the reason they want you to have a medical license to give tattoos is to make sure it is done with a sterile technique.
Growing up my parents didn’t sound to keen about tattoos or the culture surrounding it. By the time I entered college and got my first small tattoo and called my dad he just laughed and said, “so what’d you get?” After I got bigger more prominent pieces he said, “I always had a feeling you’d get them, I just didn’t want you to get them too young and regret what you’d have on your body.” I’m very well aware of the support I have coming from an Asian family. I hope young adults in South Korea can change the stigma for future generations!
Man I got a tattoo in Korea when I was visiting family. It was crazy how open the establishments were in terms of signage but you had to know someone in order to actually get it done. I got mine in December of 2017.
Kinda hate how it’s illegal. Because you can get it wayyyy worse doing surgery. Like the skin could catch fire or you could wake up during. But a tattoo could be removed with a laser, and you are conscious during the process. But like, you could have baddd scarring from surgery
Man looks at woman's tattoos: "Whoa, where'd you get that body from? Where'd you get that body from?"Woman looks at audience and suddenly has Psy voice: "I GOT IT FROM M' DADDY. DA-DA-DA-DA, etc."
I think her purple instead of white in her eyes is really pretty. I might stop and stare, not out of shock or disgust, but because it would be beautiful to see. Also, maybe they limit tattoos only being done by doctors because tats are wounds and medical pros know best how to treat and deal with them. I am positive it's more than that for their reasons, but that may be part of it and that idea itself isn't a bad one necessarily. A nurse, doctor, etc would know very well how to do it without infection and such.
I mean, if my kid commits mass homicide or dose the next 911 I'm not gonna speak to him either, but cutting connection with your son just because he has tattoos is the most ridiculous thing ever.
Newer generations are completely fine with tattoos. Korea was modernized relatively recently, so older generations aren't very familiar with foreign culture. This will probably change soon.
The message is so empowering. I'm a 15 year old and I literally feel how much the beauty standard's of our society destroys my self esteem. I don't like make up, but I watch hours and hours of make up tutorials and skin care routines to learn it anyway just to fit in the social standard. There was a time where I bought everything "trendy" to fit in while I just wanted to blend in. This time is luckily over. Nowadays I only buy clothes when I want to dance in the exchange room and when I feel happy in them. I stopped doing make up and try to use my knowledge to care for my skin. Not for the world but for me. I try to show everyone there own beauty and learn how to love myself while doing it. If you read this and also struggle with beauty standard's keep in mind that you are the only one that should be happy with yourself. Do what you love and stay true to yourself.
With the prices New York artists charge, I don't get why a doctor in Korea wouldn't just start tattooing. Sounds like an amazing retirement plan to me.
Im part south korean, my dad is from seoul. Its hard to believe that tattooing is illegal cuz my dad and i want to get one together and if he had not come over it would have been difficult to.
some great tattoos considering it's illegal. I'd say one of my best tattoos was done in an underground tattoo parlour, maybe illegal tatts are the best

6:52 "pasado pisado" nice to see a spanish tattoo in south korea.
What's the theme that sounds in the beginning?
always wanted to see more of the underground/alt scene in Korea...it's beautiful. hope one day I'll be able to travel there and get a tattoo 😍
Wait, if tattoo is illegal here then how did she get a visa
how did she change her eyes to blue? is there a surgery for that? gosh.. that must've been painful..
tattooed eyeballs.
No one:
Not a single person:
Girl: idk if they’re shocked about my tattoos or that I’m wearing a Burberry coat
Wow that was so funny
6:46 track ID please ?????
U looks so cool with those tattoos
Man I got a tattoo in Korea when I was visiting family. It was crazy how open the establishments were in terms of signage but you had to know someone in order to actually get it done. I got mine in December of 2017.
Tattoos are good.... The tattoo hater's should remember our ancestors...once received tattoo..for honour ...
I'm getting ready to go back to S. Korea and am itching to add a tattoo.
What's in her eyes?
Does anyone know where her white puffy jacket is from??????
Planning on getting one.
Kinda hate how it’s illegal. Because you can get it wayyyy worse doing surgery. Like the skin could catch fire or you could wake up during. But a tattoo could be removed with a laser, and you are conscious during the process. But like, you could have baddd scarring from surgery
Esse vídeo me faz pensar profundamente sobre tantas coisas...
Man looks at woman's tattoos: "Whoa, where'd you get that body from? Where'd you get that body from?"Woman looks at audience and suddenly has Psy voice: "I GOT IT FROM M' DADDY. DA-DA-DA-DA, etc."
I think her purple instead of white in her eyes is really pretty. I might stop and stare, not out of shock or disgust, but because it would be beautiful to see.
Also, maybe they limit tattoos only being done by doctors because tats are wounds and medical pros know best how to treat and deal with them. I am positive it's more than that for their reasons, but that may be part of it and that idea itself isn't a bad one necessarily. A nurse, doctor, etc would know very well how to do it without infection and such.
Tattoing was originally conceived to mark criminals, specially in asia, as pariah. That is why it's illegal/badly perceived.
depends on the culture. in korea maybe, but not so much in japan; although it is somewhat stigmatized in china
what font is in the video?
Is there ink in her eyes?
what are these kind of scars on her forehead at 0:37 ?
It's scarification, a body mod that's been around for thousands of years.
Who’s the girl at 7:03???
This guy is gorgeous
It’s sad to see that man who Hadn’t spoken with his dad because of his tattoos, like you’re supposed to love your children no matter what.
I mean, if my kid commits mass homicide or dose the next 911 I'm not gonna speak to him either, but cutting connection with your son just because he has tattoos is the most ridiculous thing ever.
Newer generations are completely fine with tattoos. Korea was modernized relatively recently, so older generations aren't very familiar with foreign culture. This will probably change soon.
I am going to Mystic after my BTS fanmeeting. . .💜♥
The message is so empowering. I'm a 15 year old and I literally feel how much the beauty standard's of our society destroys my self esteem. I don't like make up, but I watch hours and hours of make up tutorials and skin care routines to learn it anyway just to fit in the social standard. There was a time where I bought everything "trendy" to fit in while I just wanted to blend in. This time is luckily over. Nowadays I only buy clothes when I want to dance in the exchange room and when I feel happy in them. I stopped doing make up and try to use my knowledge to care for my skin. Not for the world but for me. I try to show everyone there own beauty and learn how to love myself while doing it. If you read this and also struggle with beauty standard's keep in mind that you are the only one that should be happy with yourself. Do what you love and stay true to yourself.
With the prices New York artists charge, I don't get why a doctor in Korea wouldn't just start tattooing. Sounds like an amazing retirement plan to me.
Older generations hate plastic surgery and hair dyeing as well as tattoos...😅
Im part south korean, my dad is from seoul. Its hard to believe that tattooing is illegal cuz my dad and i want to get one together and if he had not come over it would have been difficult to.
What's with the eyes? They are scary and beautiful at the same time 😱😍😶
She had her eye modified by 12 injections amongst other things... graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/news/grace-neutral/
Also scars on her face
some great tattoos considering it's illegal. I'd say one of my best tattoos was done in an underground tattoo parlour, maybe illegal tatts are the best
