Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have been hostile to the use of tattoos, but many religions, in particular Buddhism and Hinduism, make extensive use of them. This article examines their use as tools for protection and devotion.
So, yes, Buddhism does allow for tattoos. But it's crucial to respect the symbols, and it's generally not a good idea to tattoo images of the Buddha on the lower body. Traditional Sak Yant tattoos are applied by hand. This is carried out in Buddhist monasteries in Thailand by specially trailed monks.
Christianity. Some Christians take issue with tattooing, upholding the Hebrew prohibition. The Hebrew prohibition is based on interpreting Leviticus 19:28—"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you"—so as to prohibit tattoos. Interpretations of the passage vary, however.
Because tattooing causes no harm to you or others, it is not regarded as a deadly sin. Originally Answered: Is Tatoo on body a sin according to Hindu beliefs? No. You can have a tatoo anywhere of anything you like.

I'll cut to the chase: There is nothing immoral about tattoos. Mother Church has never condemned them, and neither can I. It is one of those areas where a Catholic must follow his or her conscience.
Today they're common everywhere from Maori communities in New Zealand to office parks in Ohio. But in the ancient Middle East, the writers of the Hebrew Bible forbade tattooing. Per Leviticus 19:28, “You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves.”
His prayer and pilgrimage are certainly valid. It has to be remembered that genuine repentance of any sin erases it completely. Although in the case of the tattoo, the effect remains on one's body, the fact that the person concerned has repented means that no further action is required.
“Religious symbols and Gurbani verses ought to be respected, not flaunted in such disrespectful manner. We appeal to the masses to refrain from engraving the Sikh religious symbols on their body,” said SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami.
Church members believe God loves all of His children, regardless of what they look like. Previously existing tattoos will not prevent one from serving in the Church and receiving all of God's blessings.
Even though tattoos are not forbidden by the Catholic church, you need to remember the Catholic teachings when choosing a tattoo. You shouldn't have any tattoo design that can be understood as immoral or Satanic. The tattoo that you choose should show the values that you identify with and want to continue to live by.
Some Christians who are against body piercing use the “Book of Leviticus” to support the view that body piercing is a sin, arguing that you “should never mark your body”. While others read the same Book and interpret the marking of the body as more figurative than literal.
My obvious answer to this question is YES ABSOLUTELY! Most women desire to feel beautiful and feminine, and I believe this is how God created us, especially when it is driven from the inside out. Look at Queen Esther – it was her beauty paired with her bravery and boldness that literally saved the people of God.
Buddhism, the Thai state religion, teaches that use of intoxicants should be avoided. Nonetheless, many Thai people drink alcohol, and a proportion are alcohol-dependent or hazardous or harmful drinkers.
For hundreds of years, men have been visiting this Thai Budhhist temple famous for its tattoo culture.

Followers of Sikhism do not have a preference for meat or vegetarian consumption. There are two views on initiated or "Amritdhari Sikhs" and meat consumption. "Amritdhari" Sikhs (i.e. those that follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada - the Official Sikh Code of Conduct) can eat meat (provided it is not Kutha meat).
Doing tattooing or having a tattoo done on yourself both are haram, and Allah curses such people tattooing means. You take a needle, and you inject dyes. One of the commonest ways is that you take out blood and in place of blood you put a dye maybe blue colour or any other colour this is called a tattoo.
Tattoos are not allowed in Islam. If some one already have before coming to the straight path then it is ok. but he should do some surgery to remove them if medically possible. If you are with fast and you make tattoo on your body then it will invalidate the fast.
There is a difference between permanent adornment which changes the colour or shape of part of the body, and temporary adornment. The former is haram and is changing the creation of Allah, and the latter is permissible.
A: In the Bible, cremation is not labeled a sinful practice. Frankly, the topic is not dealt with at all in terms of the detailed lists of instructions for living and dying set forth by almighty God in the Old and New testaments.
