Prohibited tattoos: you can play your skin

While in some Arab villages, artists were tattooed for erotic purposes, after the arrival of the Quran they were considered contrary to Islamism which requires the body to be clean in order to pray, either with water or sand if it does not have it.

However, connoisseurs of the sacred text claim that it does not explicitly prohibit tattoos or piercings, so many Muslims from Islamic countries wear tattoos and piercings, although it does not cease to pose a danger in the most extremist countries since many imams condemn it on the basis, for example, the hadiths reported by Abu Hurayra.

In addition to religion, it is often the State itself that obstructs tattoos. In Spain, the Armed Forces regulations prohibit visible tattoos as well as those contrary to constitutional and military values; non-compliance may entail disciplinary sanctions.

In Japan, despite being a benchmark of this millennial art in the rest of the world, for its citizens it is considered taboo because of its relationship with yakuza (or geisha), so in many centers such as swimming pools or spas prohibits entry to people who wear their tattoos; and not only that, the mayor of Osaka raised this spring the dismissal of public officials who had any; apparently they hurt the sensitivity of some.

Live to see.
