belae1k Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hello, When I was 19 I got a spanish coat of arms tattoo on my upper back which is clearly visible when I have my shirt off. When I got the tattoo, I had no idea about any of the politcal problems between Catalonia and Spain. I got the tattoo because I have family in Spain and love the culture. Anyways, I plan on moving to Barcelona and am wondering if this may be an issue. I plan on keeping my shirt on most of the time but am worried about being assaulted if I am shirtless (If I am at the beach or something). Do any of you Catalans think this would be a problem? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 It'll definitely be a problem in some onsens here in Japan. Hope this is of some use to you. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Can confirm you'd be ok with a confederate flag tattooed on your neck here, m8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpma Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 It would be unislamic and "not commendable" here, if that helps. Probably best to just cut the offending part of the body off. Might be a bit tricky in your case, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belae1k Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hmmm I don't blame you guys for your responses... I totally understand... Really wish I would have gave the tattoo more thought. I was young and eager to get a tattoo. I do still plan on moving to Barcelona though. Looks like I'll just have to keep a t-shirt on all the time or look into ways of covering up the tattoo. Thanks for the honest feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a Catalan flag tattooed on your forehead to balance things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you put the links to the Tripadvisor pages for Catalonia, Barcelona and Spain? Did you think we might not have heard of them or do you get paid for the clicks? P.S. Start going to Espanyol games, your tattoo will go down very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 OP should get it covered up with a massive Union Jack imo. Much safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 In the early 90's whilst just a daft laddy I was in Pamplona for the bull run. A friend (who should have known better) and I, wandered into a large Basque demonstration. Daft mate was wearing an "I love Spain" t-shirt. Narrowly escaped a lynching. Quick of foot in those days. Good pair of running shoes and I reckon you will be fine OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
