Hi, andy (is this your English name?)

Your name should be written as 박동혁.

Nice to see you here.
Have a good day~ :-)

Well, should there ever be a need (hopefully not) the authorities would be able to identify your body :wink: .

It does read the same vertically.

Well...
It's okay to read but it would be a kind of weird thing to write your name on yourself.
Many of Korean people might think it's funny, I guess.

So I recommend you to decide carefully since a tattoo won't be erased easily.
