What was supposed to be a relaxing day at the spa was anything but for Margaret Cho when she visited a Korean spa in Los Angeles. Cho was asked to cover up her tattoos by the management; apparently some of the older customers were offended by them, according to The Huffington Post.

The heavily-tattooed Cho is used to receiving a bit of grief for her ink. Tattoos are still taboo to some degree in Korea, especially among the older generation. In fact, it is forbidden within the Korean military to have tattoos so a large tattoo can get a person out of military service, according to Voice of America.

From the second that Cho disrobed in the locker room she felt uncomfortable as older customers were giving her dirty looks, the comedienne said in a blog post she wrote on Jezebel describing the ordeal she went through.

"Perhaps I do get stared at a lot because I am a heavily tattooed woman, but I am also a Korean woman, and I feel I have the right to be naked in the Korean spa with other Korean women," Cho wrote. "I don't feel shame that my skin is decorated. My tattoos are my glory. I am happy in my skin and I am not sure what to say when others are not happy with my skin."

Cho agreed to wear a robe when an employee reluctantly asked her to do so. The comedienne still felt uncomfortable and eventually had to leave. Cho did not blame the spa for her treatment as she could tell that the employee was put into an uncomfortable situation, according to The Huffington Post.

The owner of the spa, Jimmy Kim, told The Huffington Post the spa welcomes tattooed customers and that Cho never should have been told to cover up.

"The manager, who had only been working about 10 months, followed along with customer complaints, not our company policy," Kim told The Huffington Post. "The proper way to handle this is to inform the customers complaining that everyone has that right to a tattoo and to be in a spa."

Cho managed to keep her anger restrained throughout the incident.

"I restrained myself from saying 'joo-goo lae?' which loosely translated means, "you want to die?" I didn't say it. I thought it, but I didn't say it," Cho wrote.

Cho wrote about how hurtful the entire it was for her to be the subject of scorn for no reason other than how she looked.

"Their intolerance viewing my nakedness - as if it was some kind of an assault on their senses, like my a** was a weapon - made me furious in a way I can't really even express with words - and that for me is quite impressive," Cho wrote. "I guess it comes down to this - I deserve better."
