Assalam o Allaikum.

If you do not know that a certain act is prohibited in Islam then there is no sin upon you. In Islam, sin is based on the acts that we do willingly with knowledge of what religion says about it.

In Surah Al-An'am Ayat 54 Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) clears states:

When those come to thee who believe in Our signs, Say: "Peace be on you: Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) mercy: verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), lo! He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
