Secondly, tattoos aren't the greatest thing in the world to do to yourself. You know most places don't sterilize their equipment according to "health codes". A friend of mine got HIV from a getting tattoo with an unsteterilized needle.
Maybe I'm being mean but I do agree with those who say they hope it means stupid gaijin. I do hope it is something that will give me a good laugh.

On a releated note, I heard Britney Spears got a 'kabalah' tatoo that turned out to be gibberish.

Nah its a blog, people can submit pictures.TamagoKun said:I believe you mean this which has been said to be a fake though.
FirstHousePooka said:If I got a kanji I'd purposely get something bizzare like 'Chicken Flavoured Cup Noodles' or some such.
pinkkillerkisou said:No I am not asking him to die. Try to understand where I am coming from. A close friend of mine's life has changed drastically just for the sake of being cool. I am sorry... I should have took more time to choose my words more wisely. Just thinking of all the people out there making the same mistake he did makes me angry and sad... like I said I should have thought out my reply more thoroughly.
Hahahaha !! Now that's a statement !ツ"I think I'm helping my fellow man by labeling all the stupid people in the world,ツ" he explained. ツ"It's not a crime, it's a public service.

Matadon said:Personally, I hate tattoos, and I doubly hate tattoos in languages the tattooee doesn't understand. In addition to being a hardcore geek, I'm also a fitness nut, and pretty much everyone at the gym, flabby or not, has some type of tattoo. Hell, I've even had people ask me why I don't have one -- like this makes me a leper or something.
I honestly find it funny as hell when people with tattoos go to places like Japan, and discover that they can't get into the onsen or public baths because of their ink.
reread it.Jungle Boy said:So you find it funny when people are discriminated agianst because of the colours of thier skin? I find that sad...
FirstHousePooka said:reread it.
He said its funny when people who deface their bodies get discriminated against.
Unfortunately its not a criminal offence in Japan.Jungle Boy said:I read it the first time...and where I come from such discrimination agianst a person with different colours of skin (wether that be black, white, yellow, green, orange etc) is a criminal offense punishable by jail time.
Jungle Boy said:It may "work against you" here as well...but honestly it's pretty good here. If you fear you have been discriminated against then you can file a complaint..many companies are very wary of this and are liberal in their hiring process. In most cases if you have the skills then you will be hired..regardless of your skin colour(s).
