But like I said at the beginning, this thread isn't about me or you.

All I'm saying is I take issue with being turned away from a place because I have tattoos. Now people try to tell me it was my fault, and something that's openly accepted in my culture brands me a criminal elsewhere.
Honestly, it's arrogant. I'm not a yakuza. They'd know that.
I know why they consider their skin to be so precious, as well; it's another racism thing that came about having pure and white skin was what separated you from poor people. We've talked about that many times.
In the end, in Thailand, tattoos are encouraged here as a means of spirituality and social acceptance. It's not ignorance us foreign Muay Thai fighters wear as trophies, it's our tattoos which earn us a lot of respect from down at the lowest peasant right up to the royal family. Muay Thai is the art of Kings, they say, and I'm proud of who I am and what I do; that's my medal of honor in Thailand.
And no, I won't tolerate people who will not tolerate me. I should never be asked to; no one should. So **** Japan.
