According to this article, more women are getting tattoos in Japan.

The same article warns that tattoos are still not accepted outside certain small circles.

"I foresee a generation of elaborately tattooed homeless in the future," says Hata from Koenji's Inkrat studio, only half jokingly. "It's hard to get bank loans and rental contracts with visible tattoos. Things haven't changed much."

Fashion has its limits in Japan.
