In his well-known book, The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam, the prominent Muslim scholar, Sheik Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, states:

"Islam denounces excesses in beautifying oneself when it alters the physical features that Allah created him with. The Glorious Qur'an considers such alterations as inspired by Satan, who "...will command them (his devotees) to change what Allah has created..." (An-Nisa': 119)

Tattooing is one of those excesses. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have cursed the tattooer and the tattooed. (Reported by Muslim)

Tattooing permanently disfigures the face and other parts of the body with colored pigment and repulsive designs. Some Arabs, especially women, are in the habit of tattooing large areas of their bodies. People of certain religious sects tattoo pictures of their deities or religious rituals on their hands and chests. The pain and agony that the person experiences from the needles piercing skin add to these images. Because of all of this, both the tattooer and the one who is tattooed have been cursed."

http://www.islamonline.net/fatwa/english/FatwaDisplay.asp?hFatwaID=75643 ---- The answer is clearly yes, they can. Because they do. What curses may then befall is a different question altogether. Maybe the best way to find out is to get one.

Why is putting a tattoo on your skin bad if you are a Muslim?

Muslims believe that their natural skin is perfect and that god has given them a nice skin so they tend to look after their skin and believe that having a tattoo doesn't make you look cool. Muslims like the god made them so they like to die just like they had been born with NO tattoos. I think this is a great idea and i think tattoos are bad for your skin.


In Islam with a tattoo do I still get to go to heaven?

In Islam, when one prays, they have to do wudhu (ablution) in order for the prayer to "count". Alot of Muslims say that because a tattoo is covering some layers of your skin, the wudhu doesn't count and if the wudhu doesn't count, then how can your prayer count? Whoever goes to hell or heaven. That is for Allah to decide and He knows best but it is better not to get a tattoo. Why risk the chance of your prayers not being accounted for.
