(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kelly Osbourne has been left puzzled after a gym refused her entry unless she covered her tattoos with flesh-coloured tape.

The television star flew to Japan over the weekend, and discussed how excited she was about the impending trip with her fans on her Twitter page. However, she was shocked to discover she might not find it as easy to exercise during her trip abroad as she does when at home in Los Angeles.

Kelly has inkings all over her body, including on her feet, arms and back, and was told they couldnt be on display when she went for a workout.

just went to the gym where i was told i was not allowed in unless i coverd my tattoos with flesh colored tape it was sooooo weird (sic)! she wrote on the social networking site.

The 25-year-old has previously admitted she regrets some of her tattoos. She has spoken of her desire to get many of them lasered off, revealing last week she plans to start the process in the near future.

Kelly has been shooting movie Should've Been Romeo recently, and had several of her etchings covered for some of the scenes. She liked how her skin looked without them, prompting her to start planning when to remove them permanently.

I met with my dermatologist and I'll start the laser treatment as soon as I have time, she said. It will take several months, and while I'm not looking forward to the pain, I've heard it hurts less than getting the tattoo. I hope so! (C) Cover Media
