Aaliyah, the pain you experience while getting a tattoo is nothing compared to the pain that you experience while getting a piercing and it only lasts a second or so. Does that mean one is allowed and the other isn’t? As I said, there is no crystal clear verse in the Quran prohibiting tattoos or piercings but modesty is clearly pointed out in the Quran. Flamboyant tattoos or loads n loads of piercings all over the face & body isn’t very modest, is it? So we have to make decisions for ourselves in the light of Quran and sunnah.

There aren’t any crystal clear ayahs in the Qur’aan that prohibit tattoos either..
