	Hope, "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) cursed the tattooer and the one who is tatooed...." reported by Muslim. This is from Al-Halal wal-Haram fil Islam (The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam) by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, page 88. I hope this is helpful to you. Peace, ummziba.

	I doubt the prophet used the word tattoo as the word the eytomology of the word tattoo comes from the word "toe" from the dutch language. It would be better if you had the Arabic version.

	Oh dear, Blond, I fear you are light headed from your recent fast! Those who don't watch american t.v. or who are not old enough to have been around for 'Fantasy Island' won't get your joke! I must admit though, I did laugh . Peace, ummziba.
