The word tattoo is traced to the Tahitian, tatu or tatau, simply meaning to mark or to strike. A tattoo is a design or marking made by the insertion of a pigment into punctures or cuts to the skin. Tattoos are a type of body modification and this is not allowed in Islam.
Tattooing, in which the skin is pierced with a needle and a blue or other coloured dye is injected, is Haraam in all forms, whether it causes pain or not, because it involves changing the creation of Allah Taa'la, and because the Holy Prophet Hadhrat Muhammad- ur Rasullullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) cursed the one who does tattoos and the one for whom tattooing is done. In the same way, Shari'ah (Islamic laws) warns against Muslah (disfiguring) of the body, as well as "unnecessary intrusion, alteration and defacement of Allah Taa'la's creation".
The Holy Qur'an considers such alterations as inspired by (shaytaan) Satan, who "...will command them (his devotees) to change what Allah (Taa'la) has created..." (Holy Qur'an: An-Nisa': 119) The Holy Prophet Hadhrat Muhammad- ur Rasullullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) banned many cultural practices of the time. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allah Anho) says that Hadhrat Muhammad- ur Rasullullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) forbade tattooing. (Al Bukhaari) However, there is some difference of opinion by the Ulama (Islamic scholars) as to the reason why tattoos are forbidden, although all are unanimous that it is Haraam.
