'Tattoo' ban for Japanese Rugby World Cup

The World Rugby Board has decided to inform the Japanese players that they will be covering their tattoos during their stay in Japan for the Rugby World Cup.

This decision has been made due to the prevailing attitudes on Japanese tattooing.

Tattooing in Japan is among the members of the Mafia gangsters in the criminal activity.

As a result, it has been decided to urge Japanese players to cover tangled skirts to prevent a misunderstanding of the Japanese rugby players.

Thus, there will be clothing for tattoos during physical visits, including fitness centers and swimming pools.

Speaking about this, tournament director Alan Gilpin has said that his request has received good response from the athletes.

"When we informed rugby about a year ago, we anticipated that rugby teams would panic, but we did not receive any bad response," The Telegraph quoted Allan Gylpenin as saying.

"Everyone agrees to wear tatoos at public places to respect the Japanese culture, a great respect for the sport."

Meanwhile, Nigel Cass, Chief Officer of the New Zealand Rugby team, said: "The team will respect the culture and customs of any country, while protecting it in Japan as well."

According to a survey conducted in 2015, it was revealed that 56% of tourists in the tourist hotel did not allow bathing tourists visiting taverns.

A misconception about tattooing in Japan was created due to the addition of picture frames to the Japanese mafia group in the 1960s.

By now, the Yakuza mafia has become part of the Japanese society and has been identified as about 60000 members.

The 9th Rugby World Cup will be held on September 20, 2019 in Japan.
