Very well said MMM. I mean I understand some people have difficulties understanding what's up with tattoos in Japan but it's a big deal. Average people won't be able to tell the difference between irezumi (Japanese word for tattoo) and western tattoos. So when people see one, they get scared and it's very bad for the business. Another cultural aspect is that damaging skin or your body parts are considered bad and disrespectful to your parents. So for the same reasons, piercing was not so popular for long long time in Japan until recently. |
For a smaller tattoo, the best thing you can do it just cover it up with a water resistant/proof bandage. I know of teachers who do this during summer months when its too hot to wear a full length sleeve. I imagine you can do the same even in a water situation, as no one is going to be crass enough to demand you open a "wound." Just make sure it's resistant or proof, you don't want it coming off in the water!

pools are fine.. bath houses nope.
i tried i got my entire back done and they have no tattoo policy which is understandable. i wasnt very disapointed. i never had problems at water parks or pools though. |
