| Core Tip |
Tattoos are restricted in some cultures, or they are regulated by national policies. In the case of South Korea, it is stipulated by law that only a doctor can perform tattoo procedures. Nevertheless, as the accessibility and demand for tattoos increase among the people, illegal tattoo procedures are increasing. The author presents complications that occurred after illegal tattoo procedures. The use of unapproved dyes, unsanitary procedures, and the absence of post-treatment can result in unnatural and ugly tattoos. Tattoos can be performed more beautifully and naturally by a doctor, especially by a plastic surgeon. In particular, tattoos for cosmetic purposes can produce better results than those performed by non-medical personnel. Therefore, doctors' interest and participation in tattoos are necessary, and government regulations are also necessary. |
