Why we don't do Japanese tattoos
I've heard new information and confirmed that it is true.
I think it is worthy to add the following warning to the article.
Could someone help me for correcting my poor English please?
I don't know if the word "tattoo" needs an indefinite article "a" or plural "(tattoo)s".
Thank you.
-----(Draft)---
Generally, a person who has tattoo will be in trouble when s/he needs to purchase a life insurance policy in Japan. Even though s/he can buy a life insurance, in Japan, it is considered legal that a life insurance company refuses the insurance payment for a insured person who has tattoo.

It should be "a tattoo" (or "tattoos" is OK too) -- also "a life insurance" should be "a life insurance policy" or just "life insurance". でもよく書けていますね。

Maybe something more like that? Hopefully this doesn't devolve into a conversation about gender neutral singular "they".

I think can refuse shows that there is the option for the Life insurance company to do it, so I've adjusted the sentence with my change in red..

Yudan さん、Phreadomさん、Two_heads_talkingさん
どうもありがとうございました。 みなさんに直していただいて助かりました。
Phreadom-san, thank you for the input about "they" as a gender- neutral-singular usage.
Yes, thank you for pointing it out!
I should have put "can".

I edited the article.
Is "their" in the second paragraph correct?
Any comments would be appreciated.

-- Some hospitals in Japan will not give an MRI exam for a tattooed person because several type of tattoo inks can cause a burn on their tattoo.

Yes, the "their" was correct... however, however "type of tattoo inks" should be "types of tattoo ink".

*puts hands up*
I think the right usage is to use can and may.
