More and more I am seeing girls here in Japan with Cherry Blossom Tattoo’s.越來越多，我在這裡看到女孩在日本櫻花紋身的。 I guess the aversion to tattoos in Japan is starting to loose out to the younger generation, even to a point where I have heard arguments at Onsen’s(public hot baths) over the suitability of the tattoo and how it is an American style tattoo not a Yakuza tattoo.我猜厭惡紋身在日本已經開始鬆動了年輕一代，甚至到讓我聽到的論點在溫泉的（公共溫泉浴池）在適宜的紋身以及它如何是一個美國式的紋身而不是如龍紋身。

As the cherry blossom season approaches I am sure there will be a few more Cherry Blossom Tattoo’s being inked onto the girls here in Japan.隨著櫻花盛開的季節的臨近，我相信會有更多的櫻花紋身被上簽署的女孩在日本。 If you are not aware of the whole tattoo issue here in Japan, let me enlighten you.如果你不知道整個紋身的問題在日本，讓我啟發你。

Basically Tattoo’s in Japan were the mark of a criminal or associated to the Yakuza or Japanese Mafia.基本上紋身的，在日本，該商標的刑事或相關的如龍，日本黑手黨。 From my limited experience this is not exactly true.從我有限的經驗，這是不完全正確的。 There are two types of Tattoo’s I have seen in Japan, the Japanese Yakuza Tattoo which is a有兩種類型的紋身的我看到在日本，日本如龍紋身這是一個 very serious piece of work and covers most of the upper body and down the arms, and even up the the top of the neck line非常嚴重的作品，涵蓋大部分的上半身和下跌的武器，甚至了頂部的頸線 , as seen in the first photo, and then there are the other styles which is everything else you wouldn’t look twice at.可以看到，在第一的照片，然後還有其他樣式這是其他一切你不會看兩次。 I think it would be fair to say a Cherry Blossom Tattoo on a 21 year old Japanese girls is hardly the mark of a criminal.我認為可以公平地說，櫻花紋身的21歲日本女孩幾乎商標的犯罪行為。

The next problem is the popularity of the Onsen here in Japan, and the Onsen’s aversion to allowing people with tattoo’s to enter.下一個問題是廣受歡迎的溫泉在日本，溫泉的厭惡讓人們與紋身的進入。 Usually you will see a sign board at the front entrance of 90% of Onsen’s that says “No Tattoo’s” in通常您會看到一個標示牌在前門90 ％的溫泉的稱“沒有紋身的”中 Japanese and in “Perfect” English, in fact it’s probably the only English signs that don’t get screwed up and featured on Engrish.com or some other wacky sign site.日本在“完美”的英文，事實上，它可能是唯一的英文跡象表明，不要眯縫起和功能上Engrish.com或其他一些古怪的跡象網站。

So as you can imagine that making the decision to get a tattoo here in Japan is a very serious decision.所以，你可以想像，使該決定得到紋身在日本是一個非常嚴重的決定。 Also you need to be careful as some of the design go beyond a nice tattoo that could fit on you shoulder or foot as pictured in the second and third photos.您也必須小心，因為一些設計超越很好的紋身，可以適合你的肩或腳如想像中的第二次和第三次的照片。 As you can see in the last photo, this young lady went a little overboard and has basically destroyed any chance she may have had to enter any of the popular Onsen’s here in Japan.正如你可以看到在過去的照片，這個年輕的小姐去有點過火，並已基本摧毀任何機會，她可能已經進入任何流行的溫泉的在日本。

One small tip for those considering getting a Cherry Blossom Tattoo, please make sure it is a Cherry Blossom Tattoo and not a Plum Blossom.一個小冰山對那些考慮獲得的櫻花紋身，請確保它是一個櫻花紋身，而不是梅花。 The easy way to spot the difference is that Cherry Blossom leaves have a small “V” cut on the tips of the leaves, the Plum Blossom doesn’t, it is rounded all the way.最簡單的方式現場不同的是，櫻花樹葉有一個小“ V ”形傷口提示的葉，梅花不，這是所有四捨五入的方式。

For those who are interested in Cheery Blossom Season here in Japan, it starts around the end of March in Southern Japan and works it way up to the North of Japan finishing around the end of April.對於那些有興趣誰在愉快的開花季節在日本，它開始在3月底在日本南部和工程它一路北整理日本各地4月底。 For any one spot in Japan you will get only two weekends to enjoy the cherry blossom season and then it’s all gone for another year.對於任何一個地方在日本你會得到只有兩個週末，享受櫻花盛開的季節，然後都不見了一年。 The standard practice is to get together with friends on one or both of the weekends, find a spot in a nice park( if you can find room) filled with Cheery Blossoms, and drink like there’s no tomorrow.標準的做法是讓朋友們一起在一個或兩個週末，找到一個位置很好公園（如果你可以找到房間）充滿了愉快的紅梅，和飲料一樣，沒有明天。 No doubt I will have a bunch of photos to share later on this month, hopefully in focus and safe for public viewing……毫無疑問，我將有一大堆的照片分享在此之後一個月，希望能在集中和安全，供市民瀏覽... ...
