This model fought against traditional Korean beauty standards and became a model despite being covered head to toe in tattoos.
Marley Hong is a freelance Korean model who really stands out for his tattoos, which cover nearly every inch of his body.
He gained attention among K-Pop fans after appearing in the MV for Rap Monster and Wale’s collaboration single Change.
Now, he’s becoming popular with fans for his extremely detailed tattoos and artistic skills.
His left arm is especially eye-catching; while the rest of his body is filled with complex artwork, his arm is just pure black.
