Tattoos are very popular in North Korea. Why almost every man has a tattoo, but women don't?

Because in North Korea, tattoo is not only a cool symbol, it has political significance and patriotic symbol, and female tattoo represents her poor family.

If a North Korean doesn't have a tattoo, he may be a washed North Korean or a newborn baby. Some North Koreans tattoo pictures of naked women on their bodies. They also tattoo a bear, a cute bear playing the accordion, or a dragon on their arms and back.

In North Korea, tattoos are usually the same color and then finished with sewing needles. Tattooists are basically self-taught and many are artists. The tattoo pattern comes from their ink painting. The ink box medical cotton swabs used for Korean tattoos are imported from Japan, but they will be sanctioned when they are in North Korea. They need to enter through the border between China and North Korea. Although the conditions are simple, it still can't fade the enthusiasm of Koreans for tattoos. What they like best are those political tattoos.

Poor conditions still can't reduce the enthusiasm of North Koreans for tattoos. What they like best are those political tattoos. "Defending the great leader gave us death!" "We are descendants of the general!" "defend the motherland!" And "suicide bombing!" These tattoos are very popular among North Korean servicemen.

For young people in North Korea, tattoos are the first step to commemorate their political beliefs. The tattoo on a soldier's arm can also tell the location of his army base.

Tattoos of North Korean soldiers killing American invaders used to be the most popular tattoo pattern, but now it is very common to see pigeons representing peace or eagles representing strength and strength, and some people tattoo the unified Korean Peninsula on their arms as tattoos.

Now tattoos are not so common in people's lives, and they are mostly used for military needs. For many North Korean men, they started compulsory military service in their teens, and they use tattoos as a way to express themselves. Those tattoos during their military service did not serve the country as a medal of honor for a long time.
