What is the ruling on tattooing?

Question:
What is the ruling on tattooing?

Answer:
Tattooing is haram (forbidden) and a major sin among the major sins. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who performs tattooing and the one who gets tattooed. The one who performs tattooing is the one who does it herself, and the one who gets tattooed is the one who asks another to do it for her. So, tattooing is haram (forbidden) and a major sin among the major sins. Yes.
