Q: Can I go swimming if I have tattoos?
I've heard that in some parts of Asia - notably Japan - people with tattoos are denied access to public swimming pools. Does this rule exist in Beijing, and if so, where? (I like swimming, but I have tattoos!)
You certainly can. I have tried and tested. Lot's of people will stare but suprisingly enough people like tattoos in China and they are always saying WOW.
Yes. Of course. If you arent sure, head over to the pool and check out all the other tattooed people.
too many tattoo is not ok i think...at least think about others enjoy swimming too ..maybe they dont want a tattoo covered guy hangin in front of them.... 
that no problem at all. only the children will think you are a bad man.
Of course! I didn't even know it was a problem in some parts of the world. Never had this issue in China though. The only problem i had was to give blood, they refused my blood because i had a tattoo the first time, not the second... strange!!
