what is the explanation of not allowing tattooed people in a sauna

[mathverse]

Tattoos are associated with Yakuza.

Is there still a taboo towards tattoos on people obviously not associated with Yakuza, like tattooed foreigners?

[mathverse]

It's more of a dress code thing or they just dont want to serve foreigner. Not necessarily because they are racist but due to language barrier they dont want to stress about it.

nice way to describe xenophobic behavior
