@@mesachi0640I believe with how things have changed in the last 10 years, in the next 10 the majority (over 50%, probably 60%) will allow it I also believe in a hundred years there'll still be at least 1 that still doesn't allow it
@@jinx18e oh that’s somewhat fortunate! Hot foods stick and can cause burns to be even worse.

There are some that allow them though they might need to be small enough to cover up with a bandaid like thing they give you. There are also some private ones that are more expensive but allow tattoos since they are more private
I don't plan on visiting Japan, so that's not my reasoning. I just... Don't really have a strong desire to permanently decorate my skin. Hell, I barely have a desire to use makeup or temporary tattoos or jewelry. Even self expression using clothes is inconsistent for me. My meat mech hates me, so why would I bother to decorate something that has made its distain clear?
They won’t let people with tattoos into the hot springs. Culturally, in Japan, tattoos are usually seen on criminals, and nobody wants a criminal in the hot springs.
@@musical_costumer7976 They're extremely strict, typically the most you're allowed to go in with is a towel, not even underwear or a swimsuit (because male and female are seperated they have no reason to make you have any cloth on you since its a place to wash and relax). As for if its silly, they would kick you out for a finger moustache, the only type of tattoo they might allow is one that you can hide without them finding it themselves when you undress. Otherwise, you'd have to look for a place specifically allowing it.
It's because out of all the people in Japan, only criminals get tattoos, especially the yakuza. They wear it like a badge of honor. So if you go to any establishment with a tattoo, to the Japanese, it's basically saying, " I'm here to cause trouble" and yes it's unfair but Japan is a country ruled by traditions and traditions are hard to break

@@heavyfromteamfortress2356 their mabye some leniency towards tourists. Plus, if the owners of the places you went to were of a younger generation, that would make sense. Older people in Japan hate tattoos cause they had to deal with the yakuza for one reason or another

A good thing about tattoos is they make you more recognizable or identifyiable if you get kidnapped, easy to see tattoos usually deter people from snatching you because of it
For me I dont want to get tattoos because 1) my memories of individuals are held in photo albums that are backed up on cloud vaults for reprints 2) no cultural symbols because that shit constantly gets appropriated by skinheads or skinhead-likes
My brother lived in Japan due to military deployment and he has tattoos so he wasn't allowed in most hot springs (by his word, he was only allowed in Onsen associated with the Yakuza) However he did tell me foreigners with tattoos are usually treated more with more leniency because they are less likely to be associated with organized crime. EDIT: I should add my brother and I are of East Asian descent so yeah
I maintain the opinion that tattoos are something you earn like the anchor. But my respect is really not something anyone should live their life by except myself.
Okay, like I get that the Yakuza is a thing over there... but shouldn't that mean tattoos _are_ allowed? Like the mafia is similar, not 1:1 by any means, but close enough for an analogy. If you're in the mafia, you're _probably_ Italian, and if so, you're _probably_ Catholic, so you _probably_ have one of those cross necklaces. You'd never be able to ban cross necklaces, for multiple reasons; but if you tried to... wouldn't you wake up with a new pair of cement shoes in the East River? What, does Japan have _effective_ cops or something?
Listen, I've been tattooing for 16 years and I'm 60% covered with tattoos. I got them everywhere! So let me be the first to say; They're not for everyone. You're beautiful, and awesome just the way you are. Mwah
Logically I know that for most people tattoos are about self-expression, but subconsiously I've always seen them as self-modification. Changing yourself to better fit into a subculture, or a certain asthetic, or to please a partner. Like plastic surgery or something. I can't shake the feeling, so I guess they're not for me.
I also love tattoos, but I am very fickle and creative. I also just hate needles. My solution for this when I'm ready to buy them are those fake adult tattoos that stay on for a few months. It's amazing because I can change them out every few months, I don't have to have needles in my skin, and I can be as creative as I want and never have to have just one or as many as my skin will allow. They're also less expensive than really tattoos, well until you get too many.😂
I just simply don't have anything I care about to the severe enough degree that I would want it permanently engraved on my body. I've always thought maybe when a loved one dies that will be my first tattoo, or the name of my first child. Stuff like that, something crucial enough to the formation of your life that you want it permanently showing for everyone to see that this is what you care about most in life.
I went to japan this past summer and some hot springs let you go to public ones if you have covers for them. theres also some hot springs that you could rent for 30-45 min if you dont want to bother with the tattoos :)
Also con: embarrassing one gotten as a dare when drunk with friends that is so horrendous that any religious person dies of a heart attack along with anyone above the age of 70, is unremovable
you can also have fond memories in a photo album or in objects in your house, express yourself with a T shirt or clothing style, conversation starters can be both, there's nothing a tattoo does that can't be done some other way

Well A curse mark Is something right so I think they could make an exception

If negativity was a tattoo, I'd definitely go to a Japanese hot spring to get it off.
I don't think it removes the tattoo
I can't remember if it was Japan or another country but in one of those tattoos mean your part of the Mafia there

Id go to a Japanese hot spring to get off too.

Have fun trying
They won’t let people with tattoos into the hot springs. Culturally, in Japan, tattoos are usually seen on criminals, and nobody wants a criminal in the hot springs.
@@mothsmothyeven if you cover it or the tattoo is something silly? I have a tattoo(only like 2x1 inch) of a dinosaur with a space helmet on my thigh.

Imagine this
Al capone casually walking into the local public pool
Not being able to visit an onsen is a solid reason
The good ones are usually costly as hell, I just can't justify the expense to myself.
Damn, you just gonna call me out like that

@sebcadecon Really sucks when criminals ruin something for people.
And good ones are usually expensive
Fine, I'll go find my own hot spring then
That's true on the cons one, even tho I will never EVER go to a Japanese Hot Spring
Only reason I'd ever get a tattoo is to commemorate the loss of somebody really close to me because I absolutly hate needles.
Con 2: they stab your arm with inky needles so thats a nope too
Too late for me... I hadn't learned of Japanese hot springs until after my fourth tattoo
I'm a wimp for pain.
Plus any desire for a tattoo died when a person I know got a tattoo of Vegeta in bondage.
Permanent in my skin, the process to get rid of it is costly and painful
Can lead to skin cancer

Pain tolerance 0 I would be miserable if I got one. But I can burn my hand and still say good day to ya.
I got one that I absolutely love. Even if some day it means I would miss out on that experience, it’s still 110% worth it to me

Bro if i ever got a tattoo. I would dig at it until i dont have any skin left
You can't go to a public Japanese Hot spring, there's some private ones.
I mean it's unlikely Ill ever go to a Japanese hotspring, but it's a reason not to get tattoos

I’ve heard stories of people that they just told to cover them up with long sleeved shirts if it’s an arm tattoo
I’m getting the starrk tattoo
Con 2: the process probably hurts-
What about having a small tattoo and then covering it with a waterproof bandaid?
Wait you can't go in?? Even if the tattoo is healed and just something silly?? What if you cover it up?
I have a lot of freckles all over my body, it should count as tattoos.
I cant think of picture to stare at for next 59 Years

Why would I go to Japan just for that?

Yeah because if im correct tattoos mean in Japanese culture your most likely yakuza aka Japanese mafia
secret super pro: might be able to sneak into a yakuza-oriented hotspring
You can, you just have to get a private room it cost a bit extra but not too bad and you get a whole area of the hot spring to yourself
But what if you wont ever go to japan because you cant either go by boat nor plane cuz of panic attacks?
There are some hot springs that are in Japan where the hot springs are in your hotel rooms i forgot what they are called
Im allergic to the sulpher in hot springs, take that tattoo deniers
Not all hot springs there are a few who will have tattoos, as long as they aren't gang affiliated

we really you can't go toJapanese bath house just because of the fact that you have a tattoo?

I can never go to one of those anyway, I'm a trans girl. So it's not a con for me.
That’s a bit strange, you could even say it’s a tad strange.
Thats old news...it was about yakuza...and it was dumb there are many tourist friendly springs and people are getting more tattos even in japan
i can't get into an onsen either way because i'm trans, so i might as well get a tattoo!
That is why im hetting my tattoo after i visit the Japanese Hotspring next year
Pros: start your own Japanese hot spring where tattoos are allowed?
Tattoos should be earned. That's my opinion on them.
I have natural hot springs where I live so I’m good

I'd rather have a high af Yoda drinking straight caffeine
If you to Okinawa maybe since they have a lot of tatto shops
