Jewish Cemetery and tattoos

I’m having a discussion with someone who claims that he wasn’t allowed to visit a jewish cemetery for a burial because he’s tattooed. I never heard of this rule, is this a thing?

I was never denied access to anywhere jewish because of my tattoos, I got stern side-eye at most (fair in orthodox proximity I guess), hence this would really surprise me.

(I know about being buried there/having tattoos removed before burial etc. But he’s still alive and wanted to visit).
