To Saya, Japanese tattoos began as a punishment that lasted from 700 to 1800 AD. In other words, it was a punishment that lasted for 1000 years. And Japanese tattoo culture developed to hide that. That's why it became a yakuza custom. It has a different origin from tattoo culture overseas. That's why Japanese people don't think well of tattoos. Of course, we know about tattoo culture overseas. But Japanese tattoo culture is the exact opposite. And now the yakuza say that if tattoo culture overseas is okay, then it must be okay for us too. And that's what complicates the issue. P.S.: Please be aware that Ainu culture (Hokkaido) and Ryukyu culture (Okinawa) are different.

I'm not sure if it was all punishment. If you read 魏志倭人伝 (or 三国志・魏書東夷伝・倭人条 to be accurate) written in 3rd century, it records that Japonic men in both the Japanese isle and southern regions of the Korean peninsula (i.e. Peninsular Japonic people) had 文身 on their faces and bodies. Tattoos were for mythical/religious purposes (to scare away "sea monsters" while fishing/diving) as well as indication of social status, clan membership, etc. FYI, it was customary for fishermen in Japan to have large Japanese-tattoos or 和彫り on their backs until Edo period. It was done so that their families can identify their bodies when they weren't able to return home from sea. Modern Yakuza started out in Kobe and in Kyushu as controllers of the 人足 or daily workers of ports and coal mines. (It's actually why the 代紋 of Yamaguchi-gumi and KAMI-GUMI are the same. Kami-gumi is a listed company that operates the Kobe port.) Bars, gambling, prostitution, or smuggling of weapons/drugs just comes with the territory.

For me it is hard to understand why Japanese people would everthink that (for example) an overweight caucasian woman in her late 40s with a butterfly tramp tattoo is considered a yakuza member. But maybe I got to understand that the people at the store/onsen do not want to and shouldn’t take responsibility on deciding and also they have to consider the other customers’ feelings.

Because they don’t think, they follow rules. They’re not actually considering whether or not such a person would be in the Yakuza.

Yes, that's what I guess too!

In the western Christian tradition tattoos are also forbiden. That is because it is implied by them your body is dedicated to whatever is drawn on it and a human body may only be dedicated to God as temple of the Holy Spirit, since God is immaterial no image or sign is normally allowed on the body
