Why don't they allow tattoos?You can swim at the less popular, out of season beaches but you can't go to public pools.

Tattoos are considered "antisocial", "impure", and are associated with the yakuza (Japanese mafia). A long time ago, they were used to punish criminals, so they were always marked with their crime, and the distaste for them has continued.Why don't they allow tattoos?
