Yea, why would someone take advices from hipsters and use it as a credible source of information.

If I interview random people on the street regarding tattoos, I'm almost certain that 99% of them would give me negative feedback and non of them would pay for their grandchildren's tattoos.

My dad is very liberal and I thought he didn't care about tattoos.

He even said it would be OK for my girlfriend to get one if she wants to.

But when she got herself a fake tattoo painted on her lower back, he got so angry at her saying she damaged her healthy skin.

My girlfriend was so surprised and didn't realize until then how serious problem it is to get a tattoo in Japan.

People need to know that some cultural things do not cross-over very well.
Um, He said it was OK to for her to get a tattoo, but then freaked out when she got a ...fake one? Gotta be confusing.


なんでやねん!
