What people said
What exactly do the "but tattoos!" crowd want from her?
Exactly this.
For a regular person tattoos are nothing but a disadvantage,
but for a celebrity it doesn't matter.
In a popularity-driven business, if it earns you buzz from the peanut gallery, it's even an advantage.
If some office worker got inked I'd be put off, but for an artist it's fine, right?
But artists especially are the ones who'll keep creating new work and reinventing their style going forward —
doesn't it bother her to carry around permanent graffiti someone else drew on her for the rest of her life?
It's like a slave brand, the opposite of self and individuality.
Broken windows theory.
Give it three years and she'll probably look like Hoichi the Earless (the folklore figure covered head to toe in tattooed sutras).
Hyde only went this heavy on tattoos recently, but he's actually had them since way back.
Even on FC2 (the adult site) people have tiny stickers covering little tattoos all over their bodies now — such a mood killer.
but it never goes away for the rest of your life.
Talented in what sense, exactly?
Face next.
Same with the YOASOBI guy (Ayase) and Kitani Tatsuya —
funny how it's always the ones cranking out harmless, forgettable pop songs
who want to get tattoos. Please, put your personality into the music instead.
She fills arenas on tour every single year, you know.
Apparently it's more in the vein of Yoshida Takuro.
Full-body tattoos are basically just a patterned shirt at that point.
those are Aimyon's temporary tattoo stickers
Background and Points of Debate
In Japan, tattoos still carry a strong stigma — many public bathhouses and hot springs refuse entry to anyone with tattoos, and older generations often associate them with organized crime. At the same time, tattoos have become increasingly common among musicians and athletes in recent years. The thread brought up both Hyde and Messi, splitting into two camps: those who say “it’s fine if you’re a performer/artist,” and those who more harshly argue “she should be standing out through her actual music, not her looks.” One comment also raised the possibility that these were merely temporary tattoo stickers rather than real ink, and it’s worth noting that Aimyon herself has not confirmed whether the tattoos are real or how many she has. Her hometown also became a point of confusion, with an incorrect claim that she’s “a delinquent from Osaka” being corrected to Hyogo Prefecture — a reminder that this is the kind of topic that spreads easily even while the facts remain unclear. The whole discussion grew out of a single photo she posted on social media, and there has been no official comment from her about her intentions or the number and content of the tattoos.
