there are many tattoos shops building in every city i guess in china, maybe the tattoo you made doesnot suits the taste of the public...... but i am not sure chinese do not like tattoos. i myself have seen alot of chinese young guys are making tattoos and also girls as well..........
Tattoos are assimilated to mafia and gangs. Not really respectable. Plus, it will make you stand out in a crowd (if they're visible) and Chinese are really fond of discretion.
When I see someone with tattoo on the street, I look at them as bad guy. No reasons. In Hong Kong Kongfu films, bad guys are always tattooed. This is my sterotype.
Snake Heads of Xiamen and gangsters in Hong Kong and Tokyo use tattoos for affiliation and status.
