It was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that tattooing is haraam (forbidden).
It was narrated that Abu Juhayfah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the one who does tattoos, the one who has a tattoo done, the one who consumes riba (usury or interest) and the one who pays it, and he forbade the price of a dog and the earnings of a prostitute, and he cursed the image-makers.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5032).
Tattooing is a major sin, but if a person repents from it, Allaah will accept his repentance.
