How do Koreans view women with tattoos?

Q. Hello,

I am an American woman with tattoos- a chest piece, a few on my back, one on my shoulder, and a little bow tattoos on my calves. My question is- How do Koreans feel about tattoos, and is this feeling different towards women with tattoos. I am not asking to be ignorant, but because I will be teaching there in a few months and want to know incase someone might see that I have tattoos.

Thank you for your help:)

A. "In Korea, drawing a tattoo on others is illegal, whether for profit or for free." Since it is illegal, some people think that only criminals have them. Having said this, I have a friend who is an English teacher in a public school with tattoos. She was asked to cover them. As long as she is a native English speaker, a good teacher, and has a BA, she can work as an English teacher in Korea.
Koreans know that in other cultures tattoos are not as taboo as they are here.


What were popular tattoos during the korean war?
Q.

A. Ooooh, I know! Anchors, anchors and nude Spanish women. Anchors, nude Spanish women, and "MOM." You should totally get a classic tattoo, that would be SO "masculine."
