I have the back of both of my legs covered. One tattoo is a Japanese design, a koi fish turning into a dragon, which is big and the other is Atlas, holding a globe. I know that a lot of places won't let people in with tattoos because of the taboo in Japan, but I've heard some baths don't care. I'm a 24 year old white guy from California, so I'm obviously not a Yakuza, but still understand I might have some difficulty. Any names of places that will not mind would be great. Also, what is the general opinion of the Japan's younger generation (25 and under) towards tattoos? I know overall they are still looked upon negatively, but it seems like younger people are more open and accepting. I want to live there eventually, but don't know if it will cause me problems. Since they are in an area that's easy to cover, I don't think it will be a huge issue, but I'm still concerned. I'm a corporate, business type, so I always dress nice, am very coureous and don't look like trouble.
