    안녕하세요!

    I really enjoy at yours videos. They are fun and educational. In my country if you want to get good job, you should hide your tattoo too (except the IT specialist). :)

    A have a question: I don’t have any tattoos but I have a piercing on my belly. It isn’t visible (except on the beach). What do Koreans think about people with piercing?

    Thank you :)

    Hi! Personally, I think people with piercings dont think anything. Because they never see them
    But maybe older Koreans or bosses might think something if they see it in the office or classroom or something :D
