Thai Actress Kicked Out Of Japanese Hot Spring For Tattoos
Thai actress Aum Luckana was ejected from a Japanese onsen after waterproof tape covering her tattoos peeled off in the pool, despite the facility's strict no-tattoo policy.
Thai actress and model Aum Luckana posted a TikTok video describing her experience at a Japanese onsen before being asked to leave due to her tattoos. She explained that the facility strictly prohibits anyone with tattoos from entering the water, regardless of size. After being denied entry at one location, she tried another onsen outside the city but encountered the same policy. The facility offered medical tape to cover her tattoos, which she had to purchase extra of to cover all her inked areas. When she first entered the water, the tape remained in place, but when moving to another pool, water pressure caused all the tape to peel off, resulting in her being asked to leave. She managed to soak for about 45 minutes before being stopped, which she described as a great experience despite the interruption. Luckana concluded by advising anyone with tattoos considering a visit to Japanese onsen to bring waterproof bandages, adding humorously in the caption: "If I could go back, I would never get a single tattoo."
