I'm confused. Tatt's are banned where?

And why do you need to slim up your back for your ink? Your back is fine. Besides, shouldn't pushups only tone your back?

Tattoo's are banned at onsen in Japan, you can't have them if you go into the hot springs.

I'd just like to slim it up a bit, to me from the back it's way off proportion from my waist, I'd rather not draw attention to it quite yet. I might just say screw it and get it anyway, but since I'll have the opportunity to get in better shape when I go to the desert, might as well wait and see, considering I won't be able to get until I get back regardless.

Depends on how and how many you do. In basic training, I was PT monitor and I got in trouble a lot, so I was doing so many pushups to the point where it toned then it built muscle. I wasn't born like that, I just never paid attention to it until I figured out I wanted a tattoo all across the back. Then it was like whoa, mebe I should wait. If I just had a little chub chub I wouldn't care, but being out of shape has taken me out of proportion.

Even though Shana already answered:
Yeah, Tats are banned in majority of the public baths in Japan.
It's kind of a shame. First one I went to I almost got cavity searched for tattoos (wouldn't want that colon tattoo to leak my bad soul into the water!)

Mostly it is just a traditional holdover, most of the young Japanese society has given into tattoos being cool (hence the slow allowance of tats in baths, I'd really wager maybe 5-9% of all of them in Japan being cool with it, though that isn't a scientific figure) most of the elderly business owning types still believe that
A: Bad blood, bad spirits and bad ink will flow out in the water (due in part to the belief that the bath causes you to release internal conflicts anyways)
B: that whole silly tattoos=Yakuza bit.
