yeah I get what yall are saying. It's embedded in yalls ideology respectfully. But if you look at it without any culture or ideology affecting it, associating people who have tattoos with criminal organizations is to associate people who wear clothes with criminal organizations. There is always going to be bad and good in every type of group whether it be race, gender, type of work, etc.. and to stereotype a certain group into a morally wrong organization is prejudice.
There's good and bad Japanese people There's good and bad Mexican people There's good and bad females There's good and bad doctors There's good and bad priests There's good and bad old people and there's good and bad young people. As I said before I know it is embedded in your ideology respectifully.. but it is good to think without any boundries, to have a free mind. You will realize what life and people really have to offer.

We understand where you're coming from Jay, but this isn't about OUR personal views of tattoos. Personally I don't mind them, but in Japan, as has already been pointed out, there's a huge social stigma associated with tattoos.
Point in case; at the games festival in Tokyo this very week, a British game designer was reported in the Daily Telegraph talking about the difficulties foreign designers have breaking into the Japanese market and his exact point was that in the UK it's standard to have a protagonist with tattoos but that isn't allowed in Japan. Same with characters with missing fingers.

Jay until recently in Japan there really was only one kind of person who got tattoos: gangsters. So maybe it's not fair to stereotype, but the stereotype was reality.
