I'd like to see what would happen if the tattoo was a reference to death and the Japanese could see it. That person would probably be treated worse than Yakuza since death is such a taboo thing there.
I knew a guy who was a funeral director in Japan and he had other business cards made up saying he worked in chemicals because he gave a funeral director card to a girl (she didn't understand his job when he told her), and she went running and screaming away.
