South Korea Legalizes Tattoos, Ending Decades-Long Ban

In South Korea, a new law called the Tattooist Act has been passed, which changes the rules for tattoos.

Before, only doctors were allowed to give tattoos because the government viewed it as a medical procedure.

This meant many tattoo artists had to work in secret.

Now, anyone can become a licensed tattoo artist, and the tattoo industry can come out into the open.

The law aims to regulate the industry and allow artists to work more freely.
