Introducing Tattoo Japan: Connecting Tattooed Individuals with Welcoming Venues

In recent years, many people, including both locals and tourists, have faced challenges when visiting certain facilities in Japan due to restrictions on tattoos. Be it hot springs, hotels, or even fitness centers, the stigma surrounding tattoos continues to create barriers for many individuals. Recognizing the difficulties that both domestic and international tattoo enthusiasts encounter, Tattoo Japan has been launched as a community-driven platform designed to share information about tattoo-friendly venues across the country.

Background and Purpose

Tattoo Japan was born from the need for a centralized resource where users can post and search for places that allow tattoos—whether it be on social media or word of mouth. The platform allows users to find out where they can enjoy their time without fear of discrimination or being turned away. However, Tattoo Japan does not aim to challenge societal norms or existing regulations regarding tattoos. Instead, it focuses on creating a safe environment for tattooed individuals to discover welcoming facilities.

Platform Features

Tattoo Japan covers a wide range of facilities, including:

• - Onsen (hot springs)
• - Sento (public baths)
• - Hotels
• - Pools
• - Gyms
• - Beaches
• - Tattoo studios

To cater to the influx of international visitors, the platform offers an English user interface, ensuring that everyone can navigate the resource seamlessly.

Interestingly, Tattoo Japan also allows the listing of venues that do not welcome tattooed individuals. This initiative aims to prevent unfortunate situations where users find themselves unwelcome at a location due to their tattoos, fostering an environment of transparency.

Launch Timing

As the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo approaches, anticipation for increased inbound tourism continues to rise. Tattoo Japan seeks to alleviate the stress associated with finding tattoo-friendly options during one's travels. By creating a space where shared experiences become community resources, Tattoo Japan hopes to turn anxiety into assurance for both locals and tourists alike.

Our Mission

Having heard the frustrations of individuals who have felt limited by their tattoos, the founders of Tattoo Japan have taken action to establish this service. The goal is not to refute the existing cultural attitudes surrounding tattoos but to illuminate spaces where individuals can comfortably express themselves. We believe that by visualizing these safe spaces, we can help create an environment that is accommodating for tattoo lovers.

In celebration of the launch, Tattoo Japan is also running a promotional campaign designed to reward users who engage with the platform. Details about campaign conditions and offerings will be made available on our website.
