Look guys I don't know what's going on with all these China news but as a european who's lived in china several years, a lot of it seems wrong. I was in south China for a year recently and many people had visible tattoos, just as many as west europeans. And nobody cared. At all.

A bit of a mirror version of people's assumption that southerners in the United States all talk with a drawl and wear cowboy hats.
I live in Shanghai since 201708 and visible tattoos are not rare on people aged 20 to 30 (men and women).
Thanks. I’ve never been to China, but was rather surprised by the headline here. I can believe it with Japanese or Koreans, but my impression is that Chinese culture tends to be pretty chill about these sorts of things.
