LPT: Never get a tattoo in a language that you don't understand - Lemmy.world

How about ‘never get a tattoo’. Full stop.
Why? Are you allergic to fun or something?
If you live in Japan you might want to avoid tattoos unless you want to be banned from all water parks and most hotsprings.
For real? Whats the reasoning?
Tatoos are associated with criminals, particularly the yakuza, afaik.
