That is awsome not only do the japanese sell beer out of vending machines on the street 24hrs a day, they have a city dedicated to puffers. ------------i work at a japanese owned factory here in Ky and they send a few people to Japan every so often for training. All they ever talk about when they come back is that you can buy beer out of vending machines at like every corner in certain cities. I will never be able to go thou cause of my tattoo's. Maybe i will get my fahaka tatooed on my forhead and that will be ok then.
I am supposed to host a pufferfish documentary & Japan is one of our stops. I am covered it tatts & planned on part of the documentary would be me getting a puffer tatt in Japan. What's the problem w/tatts there?
In the old days it was illegal to have any ink. And the only ones that had it were japanese mafia. They do allow tatto's in japan and there are alot of tattoo shop s around certain city's. Public bath houses are very popular in japan and ink is not allowed in the bath houses to this day. I have heard that visible ink is also not allowed in many goverment buildings and shrines. The japanese mafia were infamous for starting the japan tattoo culture. There name was yakuza altho my spelling may be off. We get alot of japanese visitors at my work and some of the older people will not even bow to use or talk to use that have ink. That is how they greet each other by bowing. -------So basically stay away from public bath houses and any religious shrines or churches and any high class dining places and also wrap your self in clothing like a mummy and you should be alright.
