Also, you guys are missing one fact.
In Japan, hurting your healthy body that was given by your parents is considered disrespectful to your parents.
That's why yakuzas get one to show that they have no connections to their family members anymore by hurting themselves.
Personally, I don't have problems with tattoos but many people do.
So you can continue to take advices from those hipsters but just be aware that those people do not represent entire Japan and once you get to Japan, you would realize how conservative Japanese society is.

Lol my grandma was excited about my tattoo and even offered to pay for it. Not all Japanese see tattoos as a form of disrespect and not all Japanese will be ok with it. Same thing in the US and anywhere else in the world. In the end who cares? It's your body and you only live once. Every tattoo I have and will have has a personal and deep meaning to me, I'm not one to get spur of the moment meaningless tattoos. They will tell the tale of my life and if I ever end up dead in a duffel bag, it'll be easier to identify me
