They finally did something right.

The country’s top media regulator — the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China (SAPPRFT) — now “specifically requires that programs should not feature actors with tattoos [or depict] hip hop culture, sub-culture (non-mainstream culture) and dispirited culture (decadent culture),” Sina, a Chinese news outlet, reports.


Gotta love censorship.

The Bureau chiefs really are a bunch of joyless fun sponges, even by the already-low standards of state regulators. But whatever. When they talk smack about sex and drugs it just makes them more fun to engage in, so YOLO.

You can still rock sick tats and strut around looking like a bad boy if you want, you just can't do it on TV any more.
