Tattoo Artist Yunha, an oriental painting student, sees tattoos as an alternative medium for her art. "I'll draw a painting, this is an indirect communication. If my art is inked on someone else's body, the communication between me, my art, and the other person is now more direct."
- Seoul, Korea, Dec 2017
Being a tattoo artist in Korea and Japan without a medical license is illegal. Despite offending the law, tattoo culture has been booming, with artists flaunting the works online but operating underground to survive.
In 2017, popular Instagram tattoo artists agreed to be part of my documentary film, Forbidden Tattoos, and have their photos taken. (In September 2020, Japan lifted the law on tattoos. The law in Korea remains the same.)
With captions from their interviews, I present 28 black-and-white images from this collection, in both journalistic and portraiture style.
Forbidden Tattoos was:
- part of Fujifilm's X-H1 camera launch, demonstrating the use of a photojournalistic way of film-making.
- the documentary amassed 3.2 million views on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLkdqptmfng)
- featured on UNILAD
- presented at Photokina 2018 in Köln, Germany
- exhibited in Gallery X, Roppongi, Tokyo
