Once again, the cops have returned to ruin another Ink Bomb Event. As many of you may know, Ink Bomb has been canceled due to the presence of cops. The cops showed up ten minutes before the event started, they took a look around the event, and made the call that no tattoo machines and needles can be used at the event. Hearing that bearing news, a lot of tattoo artists decided it was pointless to be there for the artists there to tattoo. The convention continued on without "any tattooing going on". Many Tattoo artists were behind the convention slogan, "Fight For Your Rights", which simply means, fighting for our right to tattoo in Korea, so they just said fuck it and started tattooing! Here are some of the photos from the convention. Photos taken by Hyo-Shin.
The first few moments after the cops have arrived.
Everybody waiting for the cops to leave.
The cops might have stopped the tattooing, but that didnt stop anybody from having a good time! A shot of the crowd later that evening.
Though the cops have told all of the artists to not tattoo, or go to jail, here were the select few tattoo artists that wanted to show their chests!
Tattooing in Korea has never been Legal, but more than plenty agree that this should be last on the list of things Korea should be Illegal. How is it someone can alter their face to into a million cuts and implants to make them more "beautiful" and tattooing art on ones skin illegal? If cops and doctors would take a second and realize that Plastic Surgery is nothing like Tattooing, but all at the same time, it serves the same purpose. I am not saying tattooing should be in the same category as Plastic Surgery, but im trying to get the point across, that tattooing is a form of Art, from Artists. Ink Bomb being canceled and all doesnt concern us at Sunrat Tattoo, we will still keep on going til the day we die, and Boss Man Tenam is nowhere close to giving up as the cops hope he does. TATTOOING IS NOT A CRIME!! FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS!!
