2. The reason why Japanese people do not accept tattoos when participating in labor export

Referring to tattoo, people will immediately think of Japan, here tattooing is considered as a top art form, and very beautiful. So why do Japanese people not accept trainees with tattoos?

- The Japanese are very discriminating against people with tattoos because it reminds people of the notorious Yazuka criminal gangs and the underworld.

Since the 6th century, criminals in Japan have often been marked with inscriptions or pictures. Gradually criminals such as gambling, prostitution, loan sharks or drug dealers... started tattooing to show their prestige to the common people, and those tattoos were called Yazuka.
