Hot springs and bath houses

I am a foreigner living in Japan, and i want to meet other foreigners online to talk about stuff.

I live in Hot spring country and i think its stoopid that they bann tattoos just cause they think that you might be a ganster. Especially since i'm a foreigner and there's no way i could be down wit Yakuza.

I wanna hear bout if anyone else has these problems, and how they get round it.

Frankly i think Japanese people should realize that outside of Japan, Tattoos have different meanins, in Cananda i think its like one in 5 or one in ten people have some sort of tattoo.

Hi,

I'm new to this forum but I love japan and japanese culture (O.k. I had a japanese girlfriend and since then... you know how women can open you're eyes to new things).

SO as my first post I thought it'd be cool to see if any of you have tattoos?

Im 27, British (Gaijin right?) and 6ft2. I have one tattoo. The tattoo I have is of a phoenix but hidden in the tail is my ex-girlfriends name, J E N.

I bet you can't see it. I drew this tattoo myself and I got it done in Bali. My girlfriend bought it as a present and she liked that her name was hidden inside it as a secret. I will give you a clue, the name is in the tail.

Also do you all like tattoos? Do you think they are horrible? Id like to know what the japanese and anyone else thinks.

Id love to see anyone elses tattoos and reasons why you got them...

i see the name it's written horizontally the J is long the E is short and the N is long as well
i have a tat too (tat-too lol) i'll try to get it up here by this evening. oh yeah its pretty cool!

Proceed wit Caution!
