In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
It is permissible for men to get removable tattoos if it does not cause bodily harm, nor contains impurity and is made for a valid reason allowed by the Shari`ah such as self-adornment and the like.
Answering your question, Dar Al-Ifta Al-Misriyyah, states:
God Almighty created women and endeared adornment to them. God described women in the Quran as naturally loving adornment. He Almighty says: “A creature who is brought up in adornments (wearing silk and gold ornaments, i.e. women)…” (Az-Zukhruf 43:18)
For this reason, the primary texts on tattoos are mainly addressed to women based on their innate love for adornment.
However, generally speaking, tattooing in which the skin is pricked by a needle until blood oozes and different kinds of dyes are placed in these puncture wounds to penetrate the skin and remain there with no removal is prohibited according to the opinion of the majority of scholars such as Ash-Shafi`i jurists and others. This is because it causes unnecessary pain and harm and is considered impure.
This is based on the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him), “God cursed the woman who makes the tattoos and the one being tattooed.” God Almighty says, “(Satan said) I will order them to deface the (fair) nature created by God.” (An-Nisaa’ 4:119)
There is no objection to getting temporary or removable kinds of tattoos, which are common in our times. There is no objection to males or females getting removable tattoos which do not cause bodily harm or are based on impurity, especially the ones which are invisible to others or made for the sake of adorning oneself to one’s spouse.
`Aishah, the mother of the believers (may God be pleased with her) and many scholars maintained this legal opinion. `Aishah (may God be pleased with her) is the narrator of the above mentioned hadith and this proves that the prohibition here is not general provided the procedure does not cause harm.
Based on this, it is permissible for men to get removable tattoos if it meets the above-mentioned criteria. Meaning, it does not cause bodily harm, nor contains impurity and is made for a valid reason allowed by the Shari`ah such as self-adornment and the like.
Almighty Allah knows best.
