Salam
I am sure tattooing is haram for men in islam i guess, all i can seem to find is references refering to women in the bukhari hadeeth program i have, is it haram for a man to be tatooed,.

What if a man is tattooed before he becomes a muslim say they are in conspicuous tattoos that are covered is this ok or is there anything inhadeeth about this. I am sure i know the answer but cant find anything and would appreciate any help i could get.
thanks
J

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

The Prophet(saw) said Allah has cursed the person who gets himself tatooed and the tatooer [Bukhari and Muslim]

It doesnt matter if you are male or female, tatooing is haraam.

You are not held accountable for what you did before you embraced Islam so if you have tatoos on you from then, dont worry about it. Just make sure you do not tatoo yourself anymore now that you are muslim...

And allah knows best
