An update: I asked two of my friends in Japan about this issue. One lives in the famed onsen mecca of Beppu and the other works in a bathhouse in Kyoto. Both of them gave me some hope. The friend from Beppu asked around different onsen for my case and he found one place that said they were willing to accommodate since I'm technically a foreigner. My other friend who works in a bathhouse said as long as I manage to cover it with a towel and make sure other patrons don't notice it then I will be fine. Note that she works in a bathhouse and also has a tattoo on her lower back. Anyways thanks for all the varying opinions. They were all quite useful. |

those bands aren't "pop stars" and i'm not mixing them up .. i know the difference between the two. >_> i'm just saying that because famous people have a lot of influence on society, that because they have tattoos, japanese people probably don't think they're as taboo as they used to. and i think the others are right .. if you're always wearing a shirt you should be fine with a tattoo on your lower back or somethng. |

How many average Japanese people have tattoos?
I would say almost none. Also, you guys are missing one fact. In Japan, hurting your healthy body that was given by your parents is considered disrespectful to your parents. That's why yakuzas get one to show that they have no connections to their family members anymore by hurting themselves. Personally, I don't have problems with tattoos but many people do. So you can continue to take advices from those hipsters but just be aware that those people do not represent entire Japan and once you get to Japan, you would realize how conservative Japanese society is. |

Anyway, I read this thread a few days ago and thought of something. In a public pool if I put a bandage over on tattoo about 3"X3" would that be acceptable or too obvious? Or would someone complain about a possible open wound which is what I would be TRYING to pass it off as? |

Not all Japanese but most Japanese. I guess you know nothing about Japan in depth so it's pointless to talk about it. |
