Tattoos are created from piercing body parts with needles while injecting colours other than the natural skin colour. This would permanently decolour the skin. Tattooing, these days, has become a fashion and is practised by both genders, Ahaidth 2-5, below forbid the tattooing.

For more information on tattooing of pictures of animals, living beings, strange creatures and signs, which are surely forbidden, please see: ( http://hubeali.com/images/newimg/Pictures-Portraits-Statues-Music-Singing-and-Games.pdf ).

The problem with tattooing Holy Names and/or Verses is that one cannot remove them (the permanent tattoos) upon becoming ‘Najis’ (in the state of impurity), so it would imply certain restrictions for its bearer which are difficult to comply with, as per several Ahadith, see, for example the following Hadith: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَمَّنْ قَرَأَ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ وَ لَا يَمَسَّ الْكِتَابَ Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from al-Hussain ibn Sayd fro Hammad ibn Isa, who from Al-Hussain ibn Al-Mukhtar, who from Abu Basir, who has said the following: ‘I once asked Abu Abd Allah -asws , about the one who read from a copy of Al-Mushaf (the Book) without having the Wuzu.

The Imam replied: It is not harmful, but one must not touch the Book in such condition.’ [1] Also, instructions regarding in removal of the finger rings, engraved with the Holy names, in the state of impurity, please visit: ( http://hubeali.com/images/newimg/Wearing-Rings.pdf ) Below, we have translated some Ahadith, all the other Ahadith which convey the similar meanings are given, in the Arabic text, in Appendix.
