1. You talk with the artist about the shape and color you want.
2. Pigment is placed into the skin.
3. Some procedures include a touch-up visit 2 to 4 weeks later.

• Ask whether a touch-up visit is included and when it should happen. For under-eye work, one 2026 report said the retouch comes 2 to 4 weeks later.
• Check that the touch-up date fits your trip.
• Ask what pigment is used and how the artist handles hygiene.
• Ask what happens if you do not like the result.

• Korean courts treated tattooing by non-doctors as medical practice from 1992. In May 2026 the Supreme Court ruled that ordinary cosmetic tattooing by non-doctors is not unlicensed medical practice, and in June 2026 it upheld an acquittal in an eyebrow case.
• A tattooist licensing law that covers semi-permanent makeup takes effect in October 2027. It does not allow tattoo removal by non-medical staff.
• Removal is hard. Skin-toned or white pigments often do not respond to laser treatment.

1. Pick two or three shops near where you are staying. The neighborhoods above are where most listings are.
2. Send each shop the same questions: the total price with tax, whether it is per person, whether English is available, and the deposit and cancellation rule.
3. Compare the written answers. Booking-site banners are often promotions and change without notice.
4. For lasers, injections or anything a doctor does, read the treatment page first and ask the clinic for its registration to treat foreign patients.
