another reason may be because that some places may not allowed tattooed people in is because, for whatever reason, they may think they may not want you to "contaminate" the bathing area.

Being that the western world everyone are getting tattoos these days, JPN is starting to loosing the idea that all those with tats are not misfits/deliquents/gangsters.

I know what you mean. I wanted my right nostril done for YEARS. I finally got old enough to get one, and my part time job didn't allow facial piercings. I got another job that allowed people to look however they wanted, so I got my tongue pierced. I figured since I was a freshman in college and only worked part time, it wasn't a big deal. Plus mine is done far back, so you can't see it when I talk. They do have clear bars that can hide them, even in the future for when I get a "realworld job". I worked at that job for 2 years....I should have gotten my nose done then. When I switched to a different part time job, I was a bank teller so I definitely could not have my nose done :sweat: If I had gotten it done during those 2 years, I could have taken it out at my leisure like I can do with my earrings.

My tongue bar I will NOT take out for anyone. I'm very stubborn about that, and it will close if I take it out because it's a muscle. I'd rather wear a clear bar when I get a real job. When I apply for jobs, when they discuss dress code, I'm very up front about it. My teller job, I wasn't allowed to have it but when I asked them about it at the 1st and 2nd interviews, they said "Uhhh.....where is your piercing? I don't see anything!". I told them where and they said "This whole 30 minute interview I didn't see a thing and I looked directly at you. Customers will not see it....so you can keep it and work here". :mrgreen:

As for tattoos, I want some but I haven't gotten around to it. One I want on my lowerback, but it'll cost a lot so I have put it off for a long time. Another I am considering for my ankle, but I'm concerned when I get a real job and when I'd wear skirts. :sweat: Another I would consider for the back of my shoulder, but I keep thinking "What about if I had to dress for a formal event and the back is out??". LOL I'm paranoid.

I hope it's soon, 'cause I wanna go to other Onsen! :beaten:

But I hope that they don't loosen up too much like people in America.

Akakage wrote:Btw, Aho you have 4 tatoos? Wow..big one or just small little ones

They're about decent sized ones. Not too big, but not too small. Very noticable though. I got one on each arm and one on each leg. Still waiting to get a HUGE one on my back....... but it'll cost me which is why I'm waiting a while :beaten:

Akakage wrote:As far as piercing..I only have two each on my ears for wearing nice little earings :mrgreen:

I've taken a liking to piercings and I only have 3. (Ears only though)
I just haven't had the opportunity to get any anywhere else. :(
If I strike it rich, and able to quit my job, then I'm game!!!! :hehe:

Ha. :hehe: I don't think I'd ever get my butt tatooed! But the one on my back won't be that big. That is too much right there! :hehe:

On another note, maybe Kouseiya315 can use that as her new butt sig! :P :hehe: :hehe:

Eeewwwww...that must be hurt..anyway..I just found out after browsing around on how to onsen...that tattoos are not permitted because of Yakuza things

Tattoos are taboo, and there are signs at most onsen entrances stating that tattooed patrons will not be permitted. This is to keep out the Japanese mafia, or yakuza. The average Japanese would be terrified beyond belief if they found themselves sharing a bath with a gangster. The yakuza presumably have their own facilities where non-inked individuals are not welcome.

I got it from this link

I'm really not that sure what strain of Filipino I actually am. I have to ask my relatives one of these days. I think the closest thing I come to recognizing my heritage is eating pork adobo once in awhile and telling lame Filipino jokes. LOL! :rolleyes:

Was that even supposed to be a compliment? I couldn't figure it out :sweat: Was it to mean he was a "pretty boy" or girlie looking? I don't think he was girlie looking and ain't nothing wrong with a pretty boy! I've seen a lot of Korean pretty boys :naughty:
