Pools ok with tattoos?

[jjil]

hi everyone,
this is a bit of an annoying point...most pools we find dont allow tattoos regardless of your race or the fact they are western.

does anyone know of a pool near setagaya that is 1. nice to use 2. not going to chuck you out over western tattoos.

any reviews or advice would be good, tried searching with not much luck and i really dont want to have a wasted trip or spend money just to get thrown out.

thanks

My wife has a tat and we are never bothered in the public pools in Yokohama or some of the pay sites like summer land. Sometimes they ask her if it's a seal even though they know it isn't and she just says yeah so they are coming around to the idea.

The Honmoku pool all the yakuza gather in the back corner with their bodies fully exposed and there is never a problem. Of course we do see more and more people wearing those shirts in the pools which isn't a bad idea if you want to protect your tats from the sun.
