Is the cooking session included in the tattoo price?

The cooking itself is our gift — no extra charge for Mom's time and the food she prepares. You just cover the cooking studio rental fee (usually around ₩30,000–50,000 for a few hours). We handle the booking and setup.

What kind of dishes can we request?

Anything Korean you want to try — samgyeopsal, doenjang jjigae, sundubu jjigae, japchae, kimchi jjigae, tteokbokki, whatever. Mom has 40 years of restaurant experience. Tell us what you're craving and we'll make it happen.

Can we drink during the cooking session?

Absolutely. It is a private cooking studio — you can bring soju, makgeolli, beer, whatever you like. Mom will cook, you eat, you drink, you relax. It is casual dining, not a formal class.

How do I book the full experience?

Instagram DM is the fastest way. Tell us your travel dates, tattoo idea, and whether you want the cooking session and/or the tour. We reply within 24 hours and build a custom day around your schedule.

What languages do you speak?

Ssab speaks Korean and basic English. Kun Woo speaks Korean, English, and some Japanese. For tattoo design and aftercare, we communicate fully in English via Instagram DM and the booking form. During the cooking session and tour, conversation flows naturally — the vibe always comes through.
