Foreign. They both had it done in Yokohama, possibly by the same tattoo artist.

Like the "Giraffe" answer, the tat question has multiple answers depending on which Japanese game show you want to believe. King Fred's picture show navy tats and Japanese tats. Putin has judo-theme tats.
Likewise, oxen (as well as sumo bulls) weigh more than horses but the Japanese game show answer is that a giraffe was approved as a pet once by the local authorities.

Yeah I got that from the TV show.
Shouldn't it be Taro's turn to ask the question? :suspect:

Waseda vs. Reach All American Team

Next question..
Which diner in Tokyo (present day name is fine) did George Bush Sr. have the infamous puke spillage back when he was the president?

Putin does deserve a point but there is no mention of Frederick ever getting his tattoos in Japan.

I thought it happened at the residence of Miyazawa, no?
