I am 20 pounds heavier and 5 inches shorter. Visited Japan and had a lovely time. Are you a woman, by chance?

If tattoos are taboo will they not touch me?

Definitely lol 5’10” 170 as a dude is normal unless you actually have 0 muscle on your body

It’s not as common for them to think that of foreigners, since they’re aware that tattoos carry no stigma abroad.

People will just assume you’re part of Yakuza or any gang. Very frowned upon

yea exactly😭 like i visited with two tattoos no problem. i’m also very obviously white and a woman.. they definitely did not think i was part of a gang. it was refreshing to see so many other people my age with cool face piercings tho. way more common there than where i live

It carries no stigma because Americans get tattoos just for fun. 0 meaning. Some of them also look so fucking stupid. But this is America. Land of the dimwits 🤣

I guess so, yeah. But it’s important that when I say “foreigner”, I do mean anyone who isn’t Japanese, mostly everyone who isn’t East Asian. So that also includes Africans, South East Asians, and of course Americans.
