Tattoo you and Japan’s gyms
Whether training hard or hardly training, more people in Japan are finessing their physiques with tattoos - and learning they can be scarlet letters marking them as unfit for fitness clubs. Modern gyms abound, but so do old-world ideas about who can join.

RE: Tattoos
We all know that there is no such a thing as a foreigner yakuza. But the gyms will tell you that you can't join because tattoos mean your a yakuza. I have a list of gyms that will and that won't let you join when your inked up. But to be fair I only have half sleeve tats on both arms (Easily Hidden).
Gyms you can Join:
Gold Gym (Harajuku)
Clark Hatch (Moto Azabu)
Gyms that discriminate:
1) TIPNESS
2) Oasis
Can you guys add some more in to this list and keep it going?

RE: Re: Tattoos
Thanks for your reply, you can add Konami to the discriminate list - basically the big chain ones are oldfashioned in their mentality.
Midbreath doesnt like it too much either
