Q: What is the ruling on tattoos? Can a person get tattoos? I have heard that it is permissible while some say it is not. Also I want to know what should a person do if he had tattoos before he was a Muslim or if he was a Muslim but ignorant of the fact? Is there any punishment and can they offer prayer with tattoos? Can a person with tattoo perform hajj or umrah? Also should a person get his tattoo removed or not because some of my friends told me that a person is not Muslim if he has tattoos he should remove it? But what if the person can't afford to do so or if the method of removing tattoos is painful?

Q: Are tattoos Haram? The two most common reasons I heard is ghusal will be invalid because it covers the skin and because it is permanently changing the body. However, with modern advancements we can now remove tattoos and the tattoo is under the skin so it does not affect ghusal. If both of these are now not an issue, are tattoos now not haram?
