If you want to go to Japan, don't get tattoos that are conspicuous. In fact, if you want to go to Japan, probably just avoid getting a tattoo at all. Yakuza tend to get full body tattoos so tattoos are often (is it safe to say mostly?) associated with said group. I understand that like how some places have 'no shirt no shoes no service' some establishments also have an additional 'tattoos = no service' clause.
