Going to japan in a couple weeks...but wanna get a tattoo?

Question:


i'm going on a class trip to japan in a couple of weeks and i really want to get a tattoo soon. i heard on a t.v. show that in japan getting a tattoo is somewhat of a taboo and some places don't allow tattoos. i really want to get one but i'm worried that i won't be able to participate in everything because of it. do a lot of places not allow tattoos, or should i just wait till i get back to get it?

Answer:


If you get the tattoo in a place that's easy to hide, you should be okay for most things. However, you might not be able to go to an onsen (many won't let people with tattoos in) and you might find it tough to participate in activities that would reveal your tattoo. If I were you, I would just wait until you get back. I don't really see the point in doing something that will stress you out more and could wind up limiting your experiences in Japan.
