yeah tattoo culture is really going through a massive shift. in 2010 no one in korea had tattoos, or if they did they kept them secret. the only ones with tattoos were involved in organized crime. if you took your shirt off at the bathhouse, people would get scared, that degree of discomfort.
now you go to korea in 2025 and you see young people with tats everywhere!
That description of 2010 Korea sounds like Japan, except it hasn't changed in Japan as it did in Korea. Some public baths outright ban people with tattoos. Tattoos are still pretty much a taboo (pun intended) in Japan.
they got the Yakuza to worry about, i guess.
