Tattooing

No, not me. I don't have any tattoos.

Following up on my statements regarding how Muslims do not necessarily follow all aspects of Scripture, nor interpret things exactly the same way, here is an interesting article regarding tattooing in Qatar. Apparently tattooing is banned here as it is haram (prohibited under Islam) but many do it anyway.

I was not sure why tattooing is banned so quick search came up with this.

Tattooing is not mentioned in the Qur’an, but I guess later scholars decided it was not a good thing.
