You've yet to see a well done tattoo in Korea? Boy, that's a laugher. What's your definition of a well done tattoo? I doubt that your OPINION of what constitutes as a quality tattoo would be taken by anybody who has ink. As I said, I've had multiple tats done here and they are all very good quality. Believe me, if they weren't well done I would be ripping the the shop and artists.
Oh, and there IS a tattoo culture here. You just don't see it because it is underground. But it is there. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Obviously it is not as developed as some of our countries, but it is there and guess what...it is growing.
You would bet that there are far better artists in the west? What logic is that? There are better artists in every country. You could compare artists the world over. The US has good tattoo artists. The UK has good tattoo artists. Korea has good tattoo artists. What kind of point are you actually trying to make with that zinger.
Seriously doubt that you have any ink because you don't know what the eff you are talking about. |
I'm sure by your rigorous standards anyone capable of inking your last name in old English surrounded by a tribal band is a killer tattoo artist.
And you're right. There technically IS a tattoo culture in Korea, in the same way there is baseball culture in France. Small and undeveloped. The Op is probably from a country that boasts world renowned shops and artists.
OP-good luck with your tat, wherever you have it done. I'll stop hijacking your thread now. |

| Coming from someone whose closest experience with a tattoo was probably getting a henna design while visiting SE Asia, I doubt I'll be offended by anything you say regarding tats. |
