Does Kyomu no Yado Yamaboshi allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

The house advertises itself by its rooms with an open-air bath on the balcony, and keeps two more baths downstairs for everyone else.

Yamaboshi sells itself on rooms with an open-air bath attached and keeps two further reservable baths, and it publishes no tattoo rule. A room with its own bath removes the question entirely; the two private baths do the same for anyone in a plain room. Nothing here should be read as permission for the gendered baths.
