Tattoo

A tattoo is a form of body modification where a design is made by inserting ink, dyes and pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. The art of making tattoos is tattooing. Tattoos fall into three broad categories: purely decorative (with no specific meaning); symbolic (with a specific meaning pertinent to the wearer); pictorial (a depiction of a specific person or item).

Eyebrow tattoo is not forbidden if it does not contain a name of Allah or Quranic word holy name of any of the Infallible (according to precaution). It should not make the man look like women.

Makeup . Microblading . Mahram . Woman . Tattoo . Social Media

If a beautician performs beauty services on female faces such as makeup, lashes, eyebrow microblading and tattooing, is the beautician liable to Allah (swt) if they show their faces to non-Mahram men and on social media?

If you definitely know that this female will use your beauty services in sinful way, then you should not help her in doing wrong. If you do not know that and they do wrong later on, you will not be responsible of their sinful acts.

I have not seen a fatwa which explicitly prohibits tattooing. However, one has to be careful what picture or image will be tatooed. Anything which is immoral or with sexual connotations will, of course be haram. Similarly, it has to be remembered that praying with clothes which have images on them is makruh. One could possibly extend this ruling to cover tattoos also. My personal advice would be not to undertake this practice which has no Islamic basis. May Allah (SWT) guide us all.
