Tattoos

:sl:


I have a few tattoos i got them when i was young and before i was ever muslim
i hate them so much and am worried that when i washu with other Muslim women it might upset them
I know that tattoos arent allowed in Islam
Unsure what i can do about cant afford to get rid of them
i wish i never got them so much regret :embarrass

Sister, that was in the past so dont worry about them now, you'l be fine.

If its impossible to remove then its ok, leave it.

Plenty of reverts are in this situation so don't sweat it too much
Alhamdulilah I never got any tattoos but I sympathize. Subhannallah if I had have got the ones I wanted to get I would hate it so bad
Be patient sister and never forget dua. Perhaps Allah will provide you a way to get rid of them from where you do not expect

Just hide the tattoos, don't worry, Allah SWT is a Kind Lord, a Merciful Lord. If it contains any shirk, definitely remove it. In shaa' Allah not shirk.

Since you had it before becoming Muslim, you are forgiven, since everyone who becomes Muslim, has his slate of sins cleansed.

my tattoos are on my forearms and one is a pentagram i forgot to say in my post what they are
i dont want to upset any sisters
but thank you sister and brothers

Don´t worry sis, you might not be the only revert in your local mosque who has or had tattoos. If someone asks about it, you can always say that you took it before and right now you haven´t enough money to remove it.

Thank you sister for replying and your advice

You can get them removed through laser surgeries. They are by multiple visits depending how large an area is. Pentagram? Where you a Wiccan at one time?

Asalam alaykum sis

Before i became muslim i was going to get loads of tatoos lol but then Allah guided me before any of that Alhamdulilah.

Btw i also have mental health (prefer not to say what openly though)
For that pentagram tattoo maybe you could cover it with a plaster or bandage or something that will stay stuck on untill if you ever get the money to have it removed in sha Allah.
(But i would bring spare out to take it off for wudu then replace it agen if need be)
