I swear, are you incapable of making a post that doesn't come off as, uh, troll-y?

Just about everything in existence is commonplace in Tokyo. That doesn't mean the entire rest of Japan is the same. Camarotuner didn't state any particular city he'd be visiting. I already said that there are certain areas and groups of people that would be more accepting. The whole point of my post was to say that as a whole Japan is less accepting of tattoos than the US, and I'd say that's a fair assessment, even if the tides are turning over time.
