Why Tattoos are not permissble is Islam?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Tattooing is Haram.

Nabi Sallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam has mentioned:

Translation: curse be upon those who does tattoo and those who has been tattooed.

For us as Muslims, we suffice on the order of Allah and His Rasul Salla Alay Wa Sallam. We do not condition our adherence to Allah and His Rasasul Salla Alay Wa Sallam based on our logic. We believe every order of Shari’ah is for our benefit and every prohibition is meant to avert harm from us.

Nevertheless, tattoos are detrimental to one’s health. They cause allergic reactions and skin infections such as melanomas[1].

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
