There are onsens where you can have tattoos, and they're owned by the Yakuza, similar to tattoo studios. A friend of mine who has a lot of tattoos went to Japan and she even got a tattoo there. Just because it's owned by Yakuza doesn't mean anything bad for the regular customer.
@@juampisito Yeah but you don't know that it could be a retired Yakuza member because there are a lot of retired Yakuza members in japan that are no longer in the Yakuza but still have the Yakuza tats. Also Yakuzas dont seem that scary, if you ever wanna find a video talking about them I suggest watching The Anime Man who interviewed an old Yakuza member who goes into depth about themselves, their tats and things like that. Very interesting, I suggest giving it a watch.
@@juampisito look, if a narco owned restaurant is made to launder money, believe your ass that the completos, tacos, arepas, yakisoba, takeout ragu, will be amazing and the people working there will be the nicest people you'll meet on Earth
@@juampisito Hey hey hey, I read Mexico and I'm jumping in. Well, the thing is you'll never know who shop will be working with them, by their own will or against it. Another point is that by this rate it doesnt matter anymore, those people are litterally everywhere sooo.
I relate to Uki with this, having tattoos myself. I asked my friend if ever i visited Jpn, if i can go to one. She said i can, but there were only a couple of onsens who will accept me. If i plan to go to a traditional one, don't bother.
not anymore and there are law regarding tattoos now unlike before .. but there are a lot of places that still stick to their rules and still dont acknowlege tattoed people .. especially to onsens because of what happened to onsens back in the day ..
That's old fashioned thinking. While most onsens don't accept tattoos in Japan, I believe the thinking that tattoos are a taboo has changed and is a lot more accepted, especially in the younger generation. It's just Japan being Japan, traditional rules take forever to change. They literally still use fax in the office, and never did online meetings until covid hits.
I heard that Japan is working on new tatto laws(idk what it call😂). Separate art tattoos from yakuza tattoos. Mainly is for tourists to be able to use onsen.
It depends on the onsen. Private ones exist so that’s always an option but some public ones are also okay with it. You’ll have to research before you visit.
I see people suggesting like, onsens owned by yakuza cos they accept the tattoos, but there are also private onsens so like instead of a public bath you get a nice little space for yourself
Legitimately the one thing that's making me hesitate on getting a tattoo is the possibility of not being able to go to an onsen. (Yes I know there are "tattoo friendly" ones, but it'd be nice to have the convenience of being able to go to more than just those.)
Lmao I'd probably never go to an onsen as the prospect of bathing with a bunch of strangers (or just peoeple really) makes me uncomfortable so, tattoo all the way! Onsen alone can't possibly be what's stopping you 😭
yea he can't go to an onsen cause he's clearly part yakuza (Why oh why is it like this, its basically the only reason behind the japanese stopping normal people with tattoos/foreigners into an onsen, i don't get how they can still have that mind set now-a-days but not just that and a bit of a side tangent but Uki wouldn't be able to visit a good % of love hotels either, since men couples are kinda banned from a lot of them, according to most the videos ive seen documenting them from within (and if cdawg's and chris'/abroadinjapan videos and them discussing it on trash taste are anything to go by the reality of the people who have actually visited these love hotels in JP and how they treated gay but only in particular mLm relationships, he and chris got denied and kicked out of more than a few, more than 3 that means for just being 2 guys and they aren't even gay, yet you can tell connors even annoyed its happened and fs, chris is engaged! but nope, not allowed in a good few)
@@user-pt5cl2ro6f the culture of personality traits being so heavily linked to bedroom positions, especially with gay men, seriously needs to come to a close. there are just as many assertive bottoms as there are assertive tops, and most gay men in real life, unlike fiction, don't even have bedroom rolls they exclusively stick to. Most will have a preference, but it's usually pretty fluid and depends on mood, who the other partner is, etc.
they are public hot springs/baths. some private onsen exist so they will likely allow people with tattoos, but public ones where everyone can see you.. it depends a lot
Yeah it's an old law bc older times they implemented it to prevent yakuza from entering the premises. Tattoos were associated with them so they were banned but now there a some establishments that allow tattoos, like private onsens but gotta research beforehand
never thought Uki happens to have tattoos irl!
I remember he said they were of flowers, although i don't remember which type^^
Why not lots of people gave tattoos
@@brindleface9316 it was magnolia I believe
If you know, you know. They look pretty cool ngl
@@The_Foolish_Fool yes very, i was gonna say lol

Well but it does mean that you are doing business with the wrong people. It is like going to Mexico and buying things in a narco associated shop.
@@juampisitoYea but the right people dont let you in because you have tattoo, so

Tattoos are sort of a taboo in japan.
yakuza
mafia
bang bang
Lol that kinda rhyme

I mean I too might freak out if uki started taking off his shirt lol
I think he has one on his forearm so it would be easy to see it if he was wearing short sleeves or rolled his sleeves up some
I heard that Japan is working on new tatto laws(idk what it call😂). Separate art tattoos from yakuza tattoos. Mainly is for tourists to be able to use onsen.
i didn't know uki has tattoos. i guess you learn something new everyday.
Tattoos are a big thing in Japan cos of Yakuza and other stereotypes.
Wait you can’t go to an onsen if you have tattoos?
It depends on the onsen. Private ones exist so that’s always an option but some public ones are also okay with it. You’ll have to research before you visit.
Yup. Yakuza thing originally, but it's zero service across the board for all tattoo havers. Same thing at the gym. Cover em or get booted.
they're associated with the yakuza in japan so yeah most of them don't allow you
yes, japanese people still have a lot of prejudice against tattoos because of yakuza culture
yes because in japan tattoos are symbolised with the yakuza and they are scared it will hurt there business so the owners ban it outright
Niji headquarters new employee: sir there's seems to be a Yakuza person outside loitering around what should we do?
There are skin colored stickers (kind of pad) to put on tattoos if you want to go in onsens or go to private room onsen
Imagine getting denied service somewhere because you have a tattoo and it's just a tattoo of Hatsune Miku lol /lh
traditional onsen still stick to their old rules .. but there are onsen now that accept them like onsen with private areas
It's because some people in japan are still stuck in their old ways.
Is his tattoo hatsune miku?? Ike approves👌
@@k.harmon no, its a flower.
There are a few onsen that allowed tattooed peeps, but they are few and far between. 😢

Onsen is not allowed for Uki? sadge
Oh yeah I remember my Jp friends telling me about the onsen. Welp. Guess I'll never go, I mean I'm self conscious anyways lmao 😭😭😭
Me and my 8 tattoos trying to find an onsen where they won’t kick me out for next week🙃
If someone know a specific one where it’s allowed pls tell me
there are onsen who accept tattoos but it is hard to find or probably far away
I wonder if there are any JP povs when they met the EN branch
yea he can't go to an onsen cause he's clearly part yakuza

Can i say uki has a top energy?
just.. because he have tattoos?..
@@skibidirinne No no. He's generally assertive, but I'd say a switch at most.

Whats an onsen
they're like hot springs I think
@@stinky25 ooooo kk thx
Hot spring baths!
they are public hot springs/baths. some private onsen exist so they will likely allow people with tattoos, but public ones where everyone can see you.. it depends a lot
Wait. You can't go to an onsen if you have tattoos? I think I just got some culture shock.

@@springdemon.w. I had no idea. That pretty interesting history though. Thanks for letting me know :)
?! 타투하면 온천 못가?
Nooo that means i can't imagine the generic doki doki scene of fulgur and uki in onsens 😭😭😭😭 jk guys
