Are Japanese women okay with tattoos?

Q. I have Chinese art covering my back and arms, and they can easily be mistaken for yakuza tattoos. I've heard that bathhouses normally ban people with tattoos, and that tattoos are frowned upon in Japan. My friend recently introduced me to this half-Japanese girl who grew up in Japan. We've been getting along well, except she doesn't know about my tattoos yet. Do you think it'll throw her off?

A. Call it " iffy "...Tattoos in Japan are seen a being connected with the Yakuza.
I'd say yes, there's a good chance they may throw her off. I'd just take it one day at a time. Don't rush things. Let her know you for the person you are first.
You could be sneaky and somehow get the subject of tattoos into a talk with her. Like if you watch a movie together and some guy has tats in it. Or be bold and expose your arms. You don't want to wait till you fall for her, or she for you, if there's even a chance for that.
Good luck !

Tattoo help please and thank you?

Q. I just turned 17 and I live in New York State, and you need to be 18 to get a tattoo. My boyfriend wants to get me a tattoo for Valentines day and the guy who does his said he would do mine. I want one so bad, but I know my mom would say no probably, so I'm thinking about just going and getting it done, and then eventually telling her. Yes I've thought a lot about it and I know they're permanent. I know I won't regret it. What should I do? Should I tell her before I get it done? Or get it done and then tell her..

This is the one I want..Any advice and how much will it hurt on a scale of 1-10? I've read your ribs hurt the most, but this tattoo fits me perfectly and I love it :) Thanks

A. Why would you want this tattoo artist to risk being sued or no longer having a job just so you can illegally get a tattoo? That seems extremely immature. If you are so dead set certain you will "not regret it" then waiting you're 18 should be no challenge at all. It's a life time that you'll have it for. Act like an adult and wait until you are legally old enough and don't disrespect the woman that gave you life by hiding something from her. If you know it's going to hurt her, why not just wait?? It's forever. A few months won't kill you.

where to find a cheap tattoo kit?

Q. My brother is doing an apprenticeship with this tattoo guy and i want to surprise him for Christmas with a tattoo kit but i am on a budget because of all the stuff i have to buy but i would like a reasonable one. Please let me know thanks.

A. if he is active in an apprenticeship do not buy him a kit. he will most likely receive equipment from the artist. the machines and equipment in these so called professional kits are cheap for a reason. there is only one "kit" i have ever run across that i would consider suggesting and that is from new york tattoo. they have a pretty descent kit for a bit under 500.00. again, the rest of them are cheap for a reason. the machines are not any good and built with cheap materials. good machines are built by artists that know what they are doing and the best materials are. they use there time, there passion for the art and there knowledge in order to create a good machine.

here is a link to a kit, if i had to, would recommend.

but again, i strongly suggest you not getting him a kit. just give him the money you would have spent on a kit. when he gets to the point in his apprenticeship when he actually begins to do some work he will use the artists equipment. when he begins to do his own stuff he will by then have a preference when it comes to the equipment he likes. a tattoo artist and the equipment he prefers is worst than a woman and her shoes...LOL

I need tattoo sleeve ideas for a guy?

Q. Ok so I don't plan on getting a tattoo for a long time but I wanted to get some help. I need tattoo themes for a guys sleeve, I don't mean types of tattooing (old school, new school, traditional... Etc..) I mean themes so that the sleeve goes together and isn't a collage of a bunch of things. Like I know there is religious sleeves and other themes out there, so if someone could name different themes of mens sleeve tattoos that would be great..

A. Full arm tattoos were a way to designate a member of this organization, rank, and how many �stripes� each had earned. No matter men or women, sleeve tattoos are very popular.

Any 'older' women out there with Sleeve Tattoos?

Q. I'm 21 and already have many large tattoos but all in places that can be covered. I absolutely love them all and don't think I'll ever regret them as I'll always be able to hide them when I'm older.

I have been interested in getting a 3/4 sleeve for over a year now and love them. I get jealous when I see people with them!

My parents are dead against tattoo's and all my friends think it's a really bad idea but I'm not too bothered about their opinion as they were against the others that I got and love!

I don't currently have a partner and have also decided that if it were to put someone off they're obviously not for me.

My main concern is about how it's going to look when I get older. Ive never seen sleeves on an older woman (I'm thinking 40 +). I'm worried about how it will look in my wedding dress, what my kids will think of it (if they'll be ashamed to be with an inked mum) and generally how it will look on older skin.

I'd really appreciate some feedback from ladies who fit this criteria and if you have any regrets?

Also has it ever effected any job applications?

men's comments welcome also.

Thanks.
I would be most greatful for any photos of how your ink looks after the years.

A. I'm 40 & I have a 3/4 sleeve on the right and a half sleeve on the left. I am an attorney & manage the firm I work for. None of my clients know I have tattoos and not many of my coworkers know either. I wear a long sleeved suit to work. It's just what you do - it's not professional to wear short sleeves. Any job interview you go on you would be dressed professionally and they probably wouldn't know. After you get hired you can ask their policy on whether you can show tattoos at work.

I love my tattoos and thought I looked beautiful on my wedding day, but I think I have beautiful feminine tattoos. It took me years to decide on my sleeves and I absolutely love them - it's not like I picked art off a tattoo shop wall or copied someone else's idea, both of mine are pretty original. I am not having kids, but I would think they would think you were a pretty cool mom. I really don't care what anyone thinks of me or my tattoos. When you're in your 30s you generally have a ton more confidence than you do in your 20s. If you're that worried, you can always wear long sleeves. I have a lot of thin t-shirts that I can wear even in warm weather if I don't want my tattoos to show. I got my tattoos for ME and only for me, so I don't show them more than I show them. I just love having them.

I think you're doing a really smart thing by really thinking this through, so I think if you do decide to do it, you won't have any regrets. Good luck with your decision.
