**So do share your views upon this…Thankxx 4 ur attention:) **
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~
Tattoo is created by injecting the colour pigment into the skin. While henna/mehndi is just colouring over it. Moreover henna is temporary while tattoos are permanent. Permanency of them causes the invalidity of Wuzoo( وضو ) you do for prayers and also the invalidity of ghusal( غسل bath) when you have to do it obligatory.
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~
damaging or changing ur skin is not allowed.tattos r engraved but mehndi is just color that goes away.
Re: ~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~

Cosmetic surgery? Only if it restores an original appearance, or corrects a disfigurement.
There's a well known hadith that prohibits tattoos...making and getting...
For those who already got one because they didn't know...they don't have to get it removed.
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~
The plastic surgeries undertaken because of some serious problems(e.g. burn marks or scars) are understandable. They are a requirement.
And our** religion is very flexible**. It allows things which are done out of dire and unavoidable need.
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~
religiously tattos r not allowed but even logically u go thru all that pain n get one.And when after few months/yrs u out grow it then go thru surgery again to remove it....its touturing fashion.
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~

Exactly, Islam would never stop something like surgery, especially if its critical and makes ones suffering easier.
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~
Alhamdulillah you changed your mind :) Here is just one of the ahadith I found on the subject:
"Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has cursed such a lady as lengthens (her or someone else's) hair artificially or gets it lengthened, and also a lady who tattoos (herself or someone else) or gets herself tattooed." Narrated by Ibn Umar, Sahih al-Bukhari 7.820
And why not, heres another:
"Allah's Apostle prohibited taking money for blood, the price of a dog, and the earnings of a slave girl by prostitution; he cursed her who tattoos and her who gets tattooed, the eater of Riba (usury), and the maker of pictures." --- Narrated by Aun bin Abu Juhaifa, Sahih al-Bukhari 3.440
Re: ~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~
Okay now its clear as water…thankyou 
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~
There must be some other reason for prohibiting tattoos not the wuzoo, because ink is injected below the skin and while wuzoo you apply water over the skin not under.
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~
Logically speaking what about ear and nose piercing; it's permanent and painful. Are these allowed; why?
Still not grown out of my Tattoo which was made some 13 years ago.:)

With your references looks like it is not allowed for women to have tattoos, no mention of men. Are there any more references?
Re: ~~~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~~~
I want to know the reason tooo...I got scared out of getting a tatoo myself becuz my mother said dont get it ...you might get AIDS from their needle...I know illogical but my logic was Allah mian might give Gunah:) ..u never know..
Re: ~Are Tattoos Allowed in Islam?~~

No reply on this question. Oh did I opened a can of worms because 99.9% women from Pakistan have pierced ear/nose/both.

Posts #10 says only about women. I asked the question in post #14. So are we exempted?
