There’s this incredible artist in Korea I love — his Instagram handle is @tattooist_doy.

Kim, known as Doy, is a favorite of celebrities, including actor Brad Pitt and actress Han Ye-seul, but he works discreetly.

Doy said many of his colleagues have already left to work overseas, some applying for an artist visa to the United States.

A survey conducted by the union of 650 tattoo artists Doy leads has also found six cases since last April of artists being sentenced to jail - usually for two years.

"I'm really grateful for the pledge. It's probably the best artistic inspiration that tattooists have had recently," Doy, whose real name is Kim Do-yoon, said at his parlour.
