In South Korea tattooing is considered a procedure that only medical professionals can legally perform

Tattooist Kim Do-yoon attends to a customer in his tattoo studio in Seoul, South Korea, February 15 2022. Picture: REUTERS/HEO RANDoy, one of South Korea’s most famous tattoo artists having inked the likes of Brad Pitt, just wants to practise his craft without fear of going to jail or hefty fines.

Doy, who like many fellow tattooists practises from a modest building with no signage, was himself fined 5-million won last year after a video of him inking a popular Korean actress went viral. The 43-year-old has appealed the ruling. A survey conducted by the union of 650 tattoo artists Doy leads has also found six cases since last April of artists being sentenced to jail — usually for two years.Over the last 10 years, tattoos have become increasingly popular among young South Koreans.

Lee currently trails Yoon Suk-yeol from the conservative main opposition People Power Party, 34% to 41%, according to a public-opinion poll by Gallup Korea. Yoon’s party has not yet decided its position on traditional tattoos but supports legalising so-called cosmetic tattoos, which are semi-permanent and popular in South Korea for enhancing eyebrows, eyelines and hairlines.

But for many of South Korea’s older generation, tattoos are associated with gangs and go against the Confucian belief that altering the human body means disrespect to one’s parents.

Why South African professionals are leaving their jobsRecruitment specialist Robert Walters Group says that as many as two out of three South African professionals are ‘highly likely’ to leave their job this year due to a lack of face time with leaders within their company. Not one word about 'corruption' or 'discrimination' being the key drivers to leave SA. What a 'study'👎. We prefer working from home and the performance has noticeably increased. No travelling costs and wasted time on traffic. I’d sure like to see those survey questions. And what else they may have may have found. Was this survey sponsored by an office furniture company? Or a commercial real estate broker? Wife and I have been way way more productive WFH.
