Need a tat? I’ve got the place for you. Fear not, just because you’re not back at home doesn’t mean there isn’t some kick ass spots to get some ink. Korea may be all conservative and straight laced on the surface, but once you dig a little deeper you’ll find those outside the mainstream thriving in Seoul. Just take a look at the folks at Tattoo Korea.
Immediately upon reaching their website you’ll find their logo splashed across the screen. It’s a morphed digitally enhanced eye with a Korean flag as the iris. Roam around the page and you’ll discover what Tattoo Korea is all about. First and foremost they are the base of tattoo artist extraordinaire San Lee. When it comes to tattoo art she runs with the big boys. Every year her reputation grows and once you’ve seen her work you’ll know exactly why. The stable of talent doesn’t end with San; she’s the beginning of an eclectic rooster of talent including DX2, Slam, El Camino, Potter, Kuro, Ink Arts, and Arirang Ink. How can you not find an artist whose style matches your taste?
Tattoo Korea takes the time to ensure you’ll be satisfied with their work. There’s no wham, bam, thank you ma’am service here. They’ll take the time to consult with you about your design, offering meaningful suggestions and ideas until you’re satisfied with the piece you choose. And their ability to realize those choices extends to traditional, new school, realism, portrait style, or Japanese influence as well as if you’d like freehand, color, or black and grey.
Tattoo Korea maintains a state of the art studio. You can be sure that the equipment on hand is new, tested, and ready to roll. The premises are modern, styled with a bold black and vibrant red color scheme. They also keep on hand enough gadgets to keep you entertained. Whether you want to watch a movie or surf the internet you won’t be bored that’s for sure.
You can find Tattoo Korea in the swanky Cheongdam area of Seoul south of the Han. It’s on subway line number 7. Take exit 10 and take the small street on your right. Walk up that road for about 300 yards and you’ll see a building named Bak Seoul Heun. They’re on the third floor. Check out their site for a nifty map just in case my directions are not enough.

I got my tattoo with Tattoo Korea. Got a half sleeve done. I can’t say I was fully impressed. I’m going to have to get some of it covered up when I go to another country.
Martina got her feet tattooed, and they turned out to be great. So, Tattoo Korea is kinda hit and miss.

Hmmm, fifty percent satisfied is not a great percentage. Did you bring it up with them? They seem like the types who would do their best to make sure you’re happy.
Love your blog guys! I’g going to try and video myself getting a tat but I’m not sure how exciting that will be.
Well, when he did the part of mine that I was dissatisfied with I told him I didn’t like it, so he added something else to it that I still didn’t like. I shut up then, because it seemed like he didn’t know what else to do, I didn’t want him to do anything irreparable. Fortunately, the bad spot is easily cover-up-able.
My experience shouldn’t discourage anyone else from going, though, because Martina’s work was and still is fantastic.
As for a video, we actually have lots of video footage of us getting the tattoos done. Unfortunately, our schools know about our site and follow it, and we’re don’t want to show off our tattoos to them.

I can’t wait to get a tattoo! I just need to decide on a concept.
I’ve heard nothing but great things about Tattoo Korea. They seem to be one of the studios that keeps popping up with an awesome location, and with great artists.
