Questions about sumo tournament, tickets and etiquette.

Hey, I’m a brazilian who will be watching the sumo tournament in person in september, but I’m trying to understand how to buy now so I won’t do any mess when the time come.

I’ve tried to ask those questions in the r/sumo but doesn’t get almost any response, then I’ve tried to do the same in r/japantravel but someone decided that my post was low effort and removed it :/

I’ve also tried to get those info’s at japanese sumo sites but I have failed as well.

I manage to almost buy some tickets here as a test (not first, last and second to last days tho), but i saw that i’ll have to get my ticket at a 7 eleven there.

So, my questions:

1. If I buy the tickets here in brazil on 5 of august, can i wait to get my tickets nearly \~10 of september? Are there an expiration date, or can i get them 1 day before the tournament day that i will watch?

2. Can I get my tickets at ANY 7 eleven?

3. Is there any problem with me having tattoos on arms and hands? Should I try to hide then at the tournament?

I know this questions probably going to be a little too specific, but I’m really lost on where to get those informations.

If anyone has any other tips or advices, I’ll be very grateful as well 🙂

I’m REALLY excited to my trip, to see and learn more about the japanese culture!

tks in advance and hope someone can help lol
