Are tattoos allowed in Islam?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

According to our esteemed Shi'i jurists, tattoos are makruh. However, one must also take into consideration the 'urfi/social view people have towards it. 

In general, it is not at all appropriate or befitting for a pious righteous person to indulge in such activities and get tattoos, especially to be seen with it in public. Such things are not at all a concern for genuine people of faith who care about their outer religious appearance and also their reputation. 

And Allah knows best.  
If I decide to get an Islamic tattoo, will going to the bathroom cause disrespect?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Tattoo must not have any word from Quran nor name of Allah and according to obligatory precaution it should not include any name of the Infallibles.

If you wear a tattoo with holy sacred names or Quranic words, it will be a disrespect and wrong to touch it with out a Wudhu.
