21 solenbg <| sep |> Never post pax address on public forum <| sep |> Ya but what ' s the point ? Then it is just an expensive habit with no reward . That ' s like buying designer water or O ' douls beer <| sep |> This is more of a reply in regards to culture . Koreans generally don ' t really like tattoos that much , they have connotations related to thugs and gangs . For example , a korean male with tattoos may be barred from military service , something mandatory and punishable with prison time if you try to evade it . I would recommend getting your father ' s views on tattoos before gettimg this if it is your first and googling South Korea ' s societal stance on them . This is also reply without any knowledge of your family ' s view on tattoos .
