I’d wrap an ace bandage around it for the first few times you go. Once you know that there’s a good number of foreigners who are also tattooed, you can go bare skin.
Tattoos are restricted on display in gyms in Japan period with no mention of race.
From Google translate for Central Central Sports
(Look at their website https://www.central.co.jp/- it seems to be their name)
“have a tattoo, can I use (join)?
We are very sorry, but we do not accept the use of those with tattoos. Please be patient.”
I belonged to this gym once and I am sure I never saw a tattoo.
Some gyms such as Gold Gym merely restrict the size of display to 4 cm.
