Today is the twelfth class of your current thirteen class family set. We will start class with a casual conversation, complete our data storytelling, and finish with the listening quiz. I am changing the format of the listening quiz to short answer.

How has public perception of tattoos in South Korea changed over recent years, especially among younger generations?

How have Korean tattoo artists gained international recognition, and what impact has this had on the domestic perception of the profession?

Explain the relationship between the legal status of tattooing and the ability of tattoo artists to operate businesses openly (e.g., registering a company and paying taxes).

Why were tattoos historically associated with crime or social deviance in South Korea, and how did this perception influence the treatment of tattoo artists before recent legal reforms?

What methods did law enforcement use to monitor or apprehend illegal tattoo practices in South Korea prior to legalization, and what impact did these tactics have on client–artist communication?
