Tattoos are not against the law in South Korea, but they
were a foolproof way of avoiding the draft. Until the government
started arresting young men for ”willfully tampering with their bodies
to avoid military duty”. In old Korea, authorities tattooed ”Thief”
or ”Stealer of Government Money” on criminals’ foreheads. Go figure.
