According to Chinese media such as the Guangming Daily, tooth tattoos are becoming more popular among the Chinese MZ generation as a means of expressing individuality and luck beyond simple beauty.
Teeth tattoos are not actually engraved on teeth, but are a method of engraving phrases or images on the surface of crowns (artificial dental tubes) made with 3D printing technology and then covering them on teeth. Unlike tattoos on the skin, it is less burdensome in that it can be easily removed or changed by replacing only the crown.
Young people often engrave phrases such as their lover's initials, lucky numbers, 'make money', 'achieve goals', etc.
Some large dentists are offering free tattooing promotions during crown procedures to attract customers.
On Chinese online, there is a response that "skin tattoos are now old-fashioned, and teeth tattoos are real self-expression", while there is also an atmosphere that accepts the meaning of "to engrave one's goals and hopes on one's teeth.'
In fact, one netizen paid 1,000 (about 200,000 won) to get a tooth tattoo, and at first, there was a foreign body feeling, but over time, I got used to it"He also released a picture of his teeth tattoo.
However, there are also voices of concern in the medical community.
One dentist warned that "it is not suitable because the pattern on the crown surface can weaken strength and worsen wear and tear.". It is pointed out that since teeth are not just decorations but body organs, sufficient consideration is needed before the procedure.
