Q. I've heard something, i don't know what.. i'm hoping someone can tell me here.. that people in Japan look down on people with tattoos???
I of course have both my arms covered in tattoos, and i'm going to japan in a couple of months.... i'm wondering if it's true and why it is, if so!?
And, how about piercings???
Is it popular for people over there to get piercings, as it is here in the west?!
Thank you!!

A. In general, yes, people in Japan do not like tattoos and piercings.
However, as a foreigner, you are sort of excempt from some of that. You're already seen as an outsider, from a different culture. Still, there are plenty of foreigners without them, so why you?
Tattoos are associated with the yakuza (Japanese mafia). It's extremely rare to see a Japanese with a tattoo without some connection to the mafia.
Piercings are for women.
Japan is strange in that some ways it seems almost anti-nature. Just look at the way all the rivers are cemented up. Yet on the other hand, an un-tattooed, un-pierced body is revered.
Why? It just is. I agree with it too. The human body is so beautiful just as it is.
Even from a Western pov, that's all sort of passe. I thought that was supposed to die out along with the Seattle scene (grunge). Nirvana died in 1994.

Know of any wicked female tattoo artists in Seattle?
Q. Well, I'm going for a visit to Seattle, and nothing is more fun than getting a tattoo'd in a new city! I would really like this tattoo done by a woman, it would be a first for me. I'm thinking of some kind of asian/buddhist pattern... anyway, any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hope this helps. Make sure you check out portfolios, they give a good indication if an artist can do the right style for what youre looking for.
And to the above, if they disinfect the needes first i hope you run very very very far away. Needles should be brand new fresh out of a STERILE packet. (that by the way in some states the artist has to open infront of the customer or its illegal)
