Heya guys, just a lil thing from kokopuffs. It’s more about the societal side of Japan as opposed to cultural, but tattoos are considered to be very problematic there. They tend to be linked to the Yakuza, and many places will not allow you in to their establishment should they see you with them ( bath houses in particular ). The same goes for really gruesome scars on the face, as the Yakuza are also known to damage the face as a punishment of sorts. Should you give your character either of these, you would have to include some sort of method of hiding these if they do.
