Question:
I'm going to Japan as an exchange student from next year through YFU (2012~2013!)
I'm thinking about getting snake bite piercings the end of the month, do you think it would be okay to be in Japan with facial piercings?
Answer:
There are dark people in Japan as is, that won't bring much staring. Piercings in your face will. Especially if you're a student. It's not even allowed in most schools.
People aren't going to treat you radically different because your skin color. They will however treat you a lot different if you have those piercings. That's when you get the whispers behind your back and nobody wants to approach or talk to you.
Plus as the other person said, when representing a country you want to not only act on your best behaivhor but look it as well.
Just wait until you come back.
