I think western-style tattoos are getting more accepted there among young people, but you still cannot get into onsens.
However, for the older generation tattoos are seen as disrespectful to one's parents. The body they give you is marked up with graffiti.
On top of that you are purposely choosing images that represent death. This is the same as saying "I want to die" as it could be seen as a death with. You are tempting fate. Another big red flag.
But what you do is your choice, I just thought you should know as much as you can before going under the needle.
