The one who gets the tattoo done, and the one who does the tattoo are both cursed.
Abdullah ibn Mas’ood (r) said: "May Allaah curse the women who do tattoos and those for whom tattoos are done, those who pluck their eyebrows and those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and alter the creation of Allaah." (al-Bukhaari, al-Libaas, 5587; Muslim, al-Libaas, 5538).
The word curse possesses two meanings:
The first meaning is to revile.
The second meaning is banishment and expulsion from the Mercy of Allah.
