Are Jewish people allowed to have tattoos?

Considering that Judaism prohibits tattoos, getting a tattoo of a symbol associated with Judaism is kind of adding insult to injury.

There are two accepted exceptions to this, Jewish victims of the Holocaust who were tattooed by the Nazis and Jewish military veterans who got/get military tattoos.

Yes, there is no rule against having tattoos, however the fewer, the better. Huge, sprawling tattoos or being sleeved can work against you in the modeling industry. Smaller tattoos can be covered up with makeup or photoshopped out but having too many or one in a place that is highly visible means extra time in makeup and in photo retouching, which can be a nuisance.

Judaism allowed Holocaust survivors to keep their tattoos, since they were prisoners of war, but I don't know if what you want is okay or not. Traditional Judaism sees tattoos and body piercing as "mutilation" and doesn't allow Jews who do these things to be buried in a Jewish cemetery.
