I have heard that tattoos are haram by a lot of people. I am not looking to get a tattoo, but I was curious though why they are prohibited. I have not seen any text to support this thought. If anyone could provide any insight into this issue it would be very much appreciated. If there is any text, I would like to see the original Arabic text as well.

Tattoos are haraam because they are a disfiguring of the body that Allah has given us. The body we have is a trust from Allah and should be looked after. Tattoos disfigure the body and change in the way that Allah has created us.

If it's healthy and clean, it's allowed. Look 5:87, 7:32, 66:1. Determining whether it's healthy or not is not a religious subject. It's a scientific one. Do your scientific or medical research.
