Rep. Ho-jeong Ryu from the Justice Party, wearing a purple dress that revealed her back, urged the enactment of the tattoo-up law on the lawn in front of the National Assembly headquarters today (16th).



Rep. Ryu exposed her back and showed off purple tattoos of various patterns.



Rep. Ryu explained that it is not permanent and is a tattoo sticker.



Rep. Ryu, who attended the plenary session of the National Assembly in a pink one-piece dress in August of last year, sparked a dress debate.



In an interview with Tattoo Union today, Rep. Ryu said, "Tattoos that can be easily found on the street are still illegal." "The closed mindset of the Supreme Court judges 30 years ago is too old to become the standard of the Republic of Korea in 2021." and criticized it.



He said, "A tattoo is a person's 'appearance'. Hair, makeup, fashion, and fitness are essentially the same." He said, "We should name it 'tattoo', an international standard, not 'tattoo', which is considered a remnant of criminal law." I did.



He further emphasized, "If the bill is passed, not only semi-permanent makeup, but also tattoos in all areas will be placed in the legal realm."



The Tattoo Business Act, which was proposed on the 11th and awaits submission by the National Assembly Welfare Committee, is to legalize the tattoo business by stipulating the license and scope of work of the tattoo artist, the duties of the tattoo maker for hygiene management, and the management and supervision of the government.
