While waiting to go in, my daughter spotted these "...no admittance to anyone with tattoos.." signs. She was so worried as that morning, I had just drew Henna Tattoos on both our hands & arms. She was so afraid that we would be turned away...which we weren't. Konnichiwa Tanya san! We have now lived in Tokyo for 3 years & my 2 children attend the German School in Yokohama. Our home is in Setagaya, just 20 mins from school. My husband is German.XUEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02778103388264364774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-84081990845518263822009-06-13T22:54:41.854+09:002009-06-13T22:54:41.854+09:00So glad to hear your mother is doing better.

About the tattoos - thirty years ago in this country, they were considered dodgey and a sign of a less than respectable person; now, they're fashionable. In thirty years, which will they be? I would hate to be stuck with a permanent mark that can go in and out of acceptance! I know decent people get them, but I still cringe if I see one on a person in a professional field.The Calico Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-34475149335709421902009-06-12T14:22:34.660+09:002009-06-12T14:22:34.660+09:00Tanya, I will be praying for your Mother.

But at one job, both the girls they hired had tattoos in obvious places that couldn't be hidden. I didn't worry about it, and then one of them started wearing skirts and showing off all of her tattoos to the customers!Shastahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-6042435363207120472009-06-12T03:44:12.196+09:002009-06-12T03:44:12.196+09:00In japan tattoos must still be the territory of th...In japan tattoos must still be the territory of the Yakuza!The Calico Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06319271181930512880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-31575162484070446002009-06-12T00:06:10.118+09:002009-06-12T00:06:10.118+09:00our new church (of almost 2 yrs now!

Our old church was very traditionaly and this one has more modern music (that was hard for me to get used to!) If he was in Japan, he would have to grow hair! I will pray for your grandmother.
