Prejudment

From what I've read and been told by friends that have visited Japan is that some places like local bathhouses often refuse to serve customers with tattoos because in some towns and cities it's still associated with criminals.

I'm Asian, Hmong to be specific, and amongst the older generations of my culture, my tattoos, piercings, and ever changing hair color automatically marked me as a "bad girl."

Canadian here. I don't feel like people have that much prejudices against tattoos here as long as it's in the usual places like arms, legs, back...

in japan specifically, it's not seen as a good thing, because it's tied to yakuza. i don't think anyone would freak out over it, but if you did go to japan with a tattoo, and you were somewhere like on the streets or at a park, etc, it would be best to cover them up. i live in the US, so it's widely accepted here. i don't even really know of anyone......   3 reply
