한국의 문신 문화가 드디어 ‘티핑포인트‘가 다가온 것같네요. 요즘에 많은 패션 리더 애들이 자기 문신을 자랑스럽게 보여주는 거고 이젠 연예인들도 이 유행을 타고 있어요. 스포츠한국의 기사를 읽어보니까 진짜 그런 것같네요.
Tattoos seem to have reached the “tipping point” in Korea, and have mainstreamed enough to become acceptable. Lots more kids are sporting them, more of them are real and not temporary tats (although those are also really popular), and now stars are proudly showing off their ink. Korea Beat has the full translation from this story from Sports Korea.
그리고 우리 사이트에서도 문신에 대해서 많이 취재하고 있었어요. 여기와 여기는 문신에 대한 글인데 여기는 Korea Herald이란 영문 신문에서도 우리 기사를 나왔고요. 그리고 우리 Senan이란 패션일기하는 컬럼니스트, 패션리더(윗 사진) 는 원래부터 문신으로 자기 멋을 표현하고 있었어요. 어떤 사람들한테 그냥 ‘유행’뿐만 아니라 진짜 자기 정체성을 표현하는 방법들 증에 한 부분에예요.
Also, our site’s been covering tattooing in Korea for a while now. Check out our older posts here and here and here to see some stuff, as well as our story on it in the Korea Herald. And don’t forget, our fashion diarist (and preeminent fashion leader!) Senan has been using tattoos as a means of self-expression far before it started becoming the fad it is today. So do remember to keep up with her column as well!

Tattoos in Korea?
Well check out Jamwan pool in Hangang Park. I was shocked about how many tattoos can be seen. More than at a pool in America or Europe for sure! And some big pieces too.
Maybe it was the time I went though: Weekday AM. I heard that’s when Seoul’s Ladies of the Night go to tan.
Bikinis, high heels and back tattoos anyone? ㅋㅋㅋ
I wonder if you’ve seen people taking pictures in that pool? I’d love to do a tattoo story! And bikinis, heels, and back tattoos — oh, my!
