Man the search function sux.
So is there a tattoo parkour in Itaewon (or somewhere else) or is that just an ESL teachers urban legend?
Thanks. |

| Why don't you be original and NOT get a tattoo. Tattoos don't make you b a d a s s. |

Why don't you mind your own business. Posts like that don't make you look s m a r t.
There's one in the Gangnam area that did one for Lebron James. I couldn't find their website sorry.
There are also some in Dongdaemun, but I have no idea where! |

I have a tattoo already, a visiting friend wants to get some Korean ink while he's here on business.
Anyone got a map or some directions? thanks for all the help |

| There is a tattoo parlour in Itaewon, and it is labelled as a piercing shop. I don't have a map, but if you head up the backstreet opposite Gecko's that runs behind coffee bean (the old BK) you will find it. It is near the end on the right hand side and there is a large english sign advertising piercings. |

Sorry, but I have to agree with you. Tattoos look trashy, and most Koreans look down on them. Usually the trashiest people get tattoos. Not always, but usually. Also, think about how that thing is going to look if you live to be an old man/old woman. Who looks good with a stretched out saggy tattoo at 70 years old? You'll wish that thing wasn't there, I bet. |

| If, and thats a big if, I make it to 70, i won't give a shiite. Not only do I plan on having silver dreads, I'm going to have ink and be chasing the dragon as I enjoy my silver years. |

Been there are several occasions. I guess I'm the trashiest person in Korea for doing so, according to blah, blah  ! |

| There's a hair salon by my apartment (near Konkuk University) and one of the guys there does tattoos. He's got the full set up... I was quite surprised. Let me know and I can get you the number. |

Recommended.
The place is a little hard to find and located in a basement. Go to the Gangnam YMCA a short walk from Hakdong Station and call the guy from there and he'll direct you. His English is fine. |

| samd, that's hilarious the swear filter blocked that due to the word "shit" being formed in the name. The link worked, but for all other, the site is "yushitattoo." |

Obviously you've not met a lot of people with tattoos. Actually, you probably have, but just never knew.

I don't plan on living that long anyway.

^I totally agree. The trashiest comment is lame and so is the one about what Koreans think of me. |
