Tattoos and swimming pools

Post new topic

Hey everyone,

I am heading over to Riyadh soon and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice  or experience with tattoos and swimming pools.  I am able to cover my tattoos while in public with long sleeves and long pants, but am worried when I go for a swim.  Any recommendations of swimming pools to swim laps in would be awesome.  Any other thoughts on tattoos in the KSA also welcome. Thanks.

Cheers,


Jonah

It's normal, people will stare at them for few seconds and then ignore you.

Saudis living abroad getting tattoos these days so don't worry about it.

A friend of mine has big tatoo on his back and up until today he is working in KSA.

Jonah,
All most all swimming pools are in private compounds or hotels - you will have no issues at either of those places

It's not a bad place to be mate - if you play golf 🏌 there are few decent courses etc and some real nice places to eat
