The evidence
Printed on paper for easy reading — what we searched and what we found.
We searched the official site (kitaonsen.com) — bath, FAQ, house-rules and terms pages — and found nothing about tattoos. We did find a private hot-spring bath, listed on the inn's official site: it may provide an alternative, but the inn has not stated a tattoo rule (our inference). Confirm before booking.

タトゥーがあるのですが、大浴場を利用できますか？シールなどで隠せば利用できる場合は、その条件も教えてください。また、貸切風呂や客室のお風呂は利用できますか？Our translation I have a tattoo. May I use the large shared bath? If it is allowed when covered (for example with a sticker), please tell me the conditions. Also, may I use the private bath or the bath in my room?
Private-bath route
Private hot-spring bath天狗の湯は 770 年頃に大天狗により発見されたと云われている、北温泉始まりの湯です。 内湯には大天狗のお面が飾られており、現在のお面は令和5年に新しく作り直された2代目。 その奥には打たせ湯（不動の湯）、家族風呂があります。Our translation Tengu no Yu is said to have been discovered around the year 770 by a great tengu, and is the original bath of Kita Onsen. A great tengu mask hangs in the indoor bath; the current mask is the second, newly remade in 2023 (Reiwa 5). Beyond it are the waterfall bath (Fudo no Yu) and a family bath (private).
Our note: Family bath at the back of the 天狗の湯 onsen; booking/fee not stated. Note: 天狗の湯 itself is mixed-gender.
