Tattoos in Japan

Oh, this is a good information. My older brother had lot of tattoo from both his arms. :v And my family and I are planning to go to japan this april too. :v

You'll be banned? Dude that sucks so hard. :/ I still want body art/tattoo xD on myself! But I'd be really sad if I couldn't go to certain area's cause of it. :c btw good job on picking a career! I'm interested about that but a little scared lol >_< I'll see what I do about my education first.

For future references to anyone else: If it is somewhere on your body that doesn't need to get wet at the osen, it can be covered with a bandage. On this video, it seems some are fine with waterproof bandages to go into the osen water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dxiVol7sow

@derpz You can also find a private osen or an osen that doesn't mind. It may be harder to find but if you look online, maybe people have specific places you can go to.
