Abu Hurayra (Radhiallaahu Anhu) said that he heard Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) saying, ?Do not adorn yourself with tattoos.? (Bukhari vol.2 pg.880; Qadeemi)
In another narration, Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) cursed those people who put tattoos on their bodies. (Ibid pg.889)
In view of these Ahaadith, it is not permissible to put any type of tattoos on one’s body even though pictures of inanimate objects are known.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
