Why do Japanese people taboo tattoos?

Japanese people are very conservative about tattoos, because since ancient times, only unscrupulous people have tattoos.

In recent years, Japanese people's attitude towards small tattoos, which both young people and foreigners have, has eased a lot.

But on the whole, it is still conservative.

The traditional tattoo in Japan is large area+pattern+color, which is unique to the underworld. Everyone is avoiding what they see.

In fact, the treatment of tattoos in Japan is similar to that in China.
