8 Talented & Popular Korean Tattoo Artists in South Korea 

Korea tattoo industry is in the spotlight all over the world. At the famous tattoo studio "Bang Bang," in Manhattan, New York, the U.S., 14 out of 40 people signed a contract with Korean Tattoo Artists just before the spread of COVID-19. In the tattoo studio "Atelier Eva" in Brooklyn, New York, three out of 10 workstations were found to be used by Koreans. As much as K-pop and K-drama, overseas interest in Korean Tattoo is growing. 

As a result, many tourists who visit Korea from abroad often visit famous tattoo shops in Korea as one of the tour courses. I would like to introduce 8 talented and famous Korean tattoo artists who are good for getting tattoos when you come to Korea.
