Margaret Cho visited a Korean spa and left with body issues: “I deserve to be naked if I want to”

“Perhaps I do get stared at a lot because I am a heavily tattooed woman, but I am also a Korean woman, and I feel I have the right to be naked in the Korean spa with other Korean women. I don’t feel shame that my skin is decorated. My tattoos are my glory. I am happy in my skin and I am not sure what to say when others are not happy with my skin.”

— Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho writes about her body image and issues in this essay for Jezebel about visiting a Korean spa in Los Angeles.
