flag South Korea may legalize non-medical tattooing with a new licensing law, ending a 30-year ban.

flag In South Korea, tattoo artists face legal risks despite rising public acceptance and demand, as only doctors are currently allowed to tattoo under a 1992 ruling. flag A new bill, backed by bipartisan support and the Health Ministry, aims to legalize non-medical tattooing by creating a licensing system with hygiene training and oversight. flag The proposed Tattooist Act would end years of legal ambiguity, allowing artists to operate openly after a two-year transition period. flag While some fear increased government control, the law is seen as a major step toward recognizing tattooing as a legitimate art form and protecting both artists and clients.
