...and it's a shame because it's beautiful. It's about the message which is the first I've seen in 11 years about tattoos in public baths that makes sense; of course some will say why 6 x 6" etc. but it's a start. And by saying that "Japanese carving tattoos" (they mean wabori/和彫, the traditional tattoos not done by machine but by hand and are usually big) are completely forbidden they are saying indirectly that their problem isn't with tattoos in general but with those having the specific tattoos. I.e. what no one else is saying.
