I think I said someone would use this as an excuse to deny customers.

It's a Japanese way of telling someone without directly pointing out the real reason. Cos if you think about it, you would think small tattoos would be ok but once you start making exceptions, how far do you have to go?

All I meant to say was often the way Japanese people try to avoid direct conflict irritates foreign guest cos they are used to receiving honest direct feedback.
