🇰🇷 How to Get a Tattoo in Korea as a Foreigner (2025 Guide)

Thinking of getting a tattoo while visiting Korea? Whether it's your first time or you’re adding a new piece to your collection, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know as a foreigner – from legality to walk-in procedures, hygiene, pricing, and the best places to go.

❓ Is it Legal for Foreigners to Get Tattoos in Korea?

Yes, absolutely. While Korea has a complicated history with tattoo regulations (as only medical professionals are technically allowed to tattoo), foreigners are not prohibited from receiving tattoos – and thousands do every year. Studios like Mama Ink operate professionally and safely, catering to both locals and international clients.

🔍 How to Choose a Tattoo Shop in Seoul

With so many options, finding a good tattoo shop can be overwhelming. Here’s what to look for:

Size & Artist Pool: Large studios like Mama Ink host over 50 artists specializing in a variety of styles. This increases your chance of getting matched with the right artist for your design.
Manager Matching System: Mama Ink has English-speaking managers who help you find the perfect artist based on your idea, style, and preferred schedule.
Reputation & Awards: Studios with convention-winning artists and high foreigner ratings are a good sign of quality and experience.
