Having a Tattoo in Japan -
04-21-2008, 08:41 AM
Hi,
I'm a Chinese thats coming to Japan on a business trip during the summer. I know its going to be hot, and I'll probably want to use the swimming pool or a bath house. I have a large tattoo on my back thats obviously Chinese (chinese characters/chinese depiction of a dragon). I know we and you Japanese have not had the best relationship, so just wondering if I need to know anything before I take off my shirt. Here's a picture of my tattoo for reference. Sorry for the large picture. |

In some a japanese public bath, it says "no tattoos", therefore it is forbidden to go a public japanese bath. I think, in big city where is many foreigners it is ok to have a tattoo to bath. But to small city like nara, it is usually forbidden.

They might be afraid of you if they see the tattoo, not because you are Chinese, but because they will think you are a Japanese Yakuza (gang member). Besides gang members, very, very few Japanese get tattoos.
Cool looking dragon, by the way. |

Well, I'm not from Japan.
But...most wouldn't really find it that acceptable. I'm trying to become a tattoo artist. Haha. I have connections. It's pretty cool, that tattoo, but I'm sure some people don't care what you have on your skin, being that it's there for a reason. ( ̄ω ̄ ) Wannabe 入れ墨の芸術家 |
