Islamic stance on tattoos

[holdingtherope]

Hi,

I was just wondering whether anyone knows what the quran and the hadiths of the prophet (pbuh) say in regards of getting a tattoo.

Thank you.

Re: Islamic stance on tattoos

Then by that logic shouldn't all forms of cosmetic surgery(sometimes to get rid of wounds caused by horrific accidents or to cure psychological wounds like insecurities) be considered forbidden, but to my knowledge they're not. Taking that logic even further shouldn't ALL forms of modification of ones appearance(hair cuts, gelling waxing hair dye etc) be considered haram but they're not. ALL of these are contextual and as long as your tattoo isn't offensive I'm sure god will forgive you.(being a good person who donates to charity helps the needy and generally does good deeds may offset the the act of getting the tattoo)

Those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification

Does this mean braces aren't allowed if you teeth juts out?

I'm not sure. I've wanted a tattoo for several years.

I wish I got a tattoo before I converted.

Tattoo looks nice @ 1st but after few years...ink would fade..retouch is needed...also as your skin wrinkles the pattern becomes less attractive ;)

Re: Islamic stance on tattoos

What? Whats so good about a tattoo? Having a pattern on your body that no one will see, and further it may risk your health and after a couple of years look just disgusting, not thank you. As for cosmetic surgery, Allah doesn't make things hard, if it is medically required certain surgeries are fine, but if they are superfluous like nose jobs or whatnot for no particular reason they are not. Braces are also fine i think in order to straighten your teeth, you're not filing them?? I may be wrong.

Allah knows best

Why would you want or wish for something that Allah will curse you for?
