합성인 줄 알았는데…

나는 2mb가 저팔계 썬글라스를 쓰고 개폼 잡는 것이 합성인 줄 알았는데…

진짜였다. 토나오고 욕나오고…

Within Korea - Such a shame that many people have to act negatively towards all current presidents. Then they say good things about them once they commit suicide. Lame.

CMU Life

Monday was full of things. Statistics exam, Cognitive Psychology exam, Sound Recording (which I expected to be ending early, but it didn’t and ended not much earlier than the usual 9:30 pm), bubble tea, many conversations, etc.

Today, however, was quite weird. It just flew past by. Nothing much has happened except that I accompanied Jennifer to the Waterfront when she got herself a new phone. Droid. Quite interesting. I should have gotten an android phone too. Blackberries are overrated. The 64 mb limit on apps is ridiculous.

continuation of the tattooing

This is an edit, sort of, of the previous tattooing entry that I posted.

I received some feedback from haxi and decided to write something more to make myself justifiable.

I’ve decided that for the purpose of getting tattoos and being a tattoo artist in Korea, tattooing is still illegal.

1. There is no law regarding Tattooing in Korea.
2. However, there are some laws regarding needles.
3. Using of a needle should only be done by doctors
4. This actually derives from some law claiming that you aren’t allowed to apply medicine to someone else unless you’re a doctor. Apparently for that sake, taking things to the extreme, applying medicine on your son’s knee when he stumbles, is also illegal. Technically speaking.
5. Tattooing, is not an application of medicine, so there is some uproar.
6. Regardless, it uses needles.
7. Therefore, doctors can be the only legal tattooists.
8. However, doctors don’t do tattoos.
9. The only tattoo they do would be “permanent make-up” regarding eyebrows and such.
10. However, there is another statement, claiming that there indeed are people with doctor’s license performing tattoos.
11. And such doctors are trying their best to monopolize the job and keep it to themselves. From this, pressure on the government.

Now this derives off to other completely random stuff that is out of the scope of this blog entry.

But for the purpose of this discussion, tattoo artists in Korea should have a doctor’s license to do the job, only because they deal with needles; nothing to do with the tattoo itself. However, it seems safe to assume that most tattoo artists don’t have a doctor’s license.

Hence tattooing (if you want to get one in Korea) is an illegal action.

One more side note. People’s views toward tattoos aren’t that great in Korea either (unless you’re the new age youngsters). Reasons?

1. Many gangsters had tattoos to symbolize that they have been marked and will commit to the group.
2. Against Confucian belief of our bodies given from ancestors. And therefore, shouldn’t be modified or damaged.

Anyway… This was one long post that I’ve done in a while.

So… New information that I just found out through a random news article that I simply HAD to post.

Apparently…..

Tattooing in Korea is illegal.

WTF.

You see freaking “micky yoochun” from TVXQ with the stupid “always keep the faith” tattoo. Why don’t they arrest him. Oh, I guess he did it outside of Korea? -_-

One of the small things that I see every now and then that shows Korea conservationist. Then again, what does that have to do ANYTHING with tattooing? weird.

Not illegal. However by law the artist should hold a doctor’s license to use a needle on a person.

The action is against the illegal tattoo artist, not the people with tattoos.

This took one google search. Before you “HAVE” to post things. Do some research. This is how trouble starts.

Interesting. Didn’t know about it. My apologies to the TVXQ fan, or so it seems.

BTW, the start of all this was from some random article on Nate about Mapo office giving some tattoo artists permission to some gym. And what it said there was that they didn’t know what “tattooing” was and when they found out that “tattooing” is illegal, they wanted to take away the permission, but decided to give permission anyway.

I guess I called for the bolded text of “this is how trouble starts” by poking on Korean idols.

Bad timing. Especially during this 2pm crap going on everywhere.

Anyway, I want to mention that the purpose of the post was to be surprised, not make yoochun some criminal or anything. And if it did offend you, my bad.
