You almost NEVER see people with tattoos, and if you do see them and you're a Black man, you're probably dealing with a gaijin hunter. These women tend to (but not always) dislike the traditions of their own culture and act out by tanning their skin, braiding their hair and yes, getting tattoos.
I got my tatt done in Japan by an artist that told me with his own mouth that he inks Yakuza members. Hell, that was specifically why I chose him, because I personally love Ukiyo-e art, and that's what Japanese mafia members get tatted.
However, what I have heard from Japanese people themselves is they don't even think twice when a foreign-looking person has a tattoo. They chalk it up to the game.
But if you Asian and you got a tatt, they say you scare them. It is what it is.
As far as the topic is concerned, your mileage in Japan may vary. Y'all have to understand that everywhere has its positives and negatives. For me personally, Japan's positives outweigh any negatives that I've seen.
You have to also factor in the fact that nikkas go to Asia acting a goddamn fool and are usually not willing to assimilate into a country where assimilation is hardcorded into the culture. So y'all will go over there speaking English, inconveniencing the natives and refuse to learn the language and come out wondering why you had a bad experience. This ain't like LA which is friendly to Mexicans that don't speak a lick of English.
This is not anime. There ain't no dub or no subtitles. Learn the language, learn the nuances of the culture, you'll be good. Will you face some racism? It's possible. I have yet to experience racism in Japan myself, but I hear stories.
If you Black and grew up in America, we face racism that is actually deadly. Japan is a fukking paradise in comparison.
