Pak-one, from that definition then, piercing one's ears is also condemned, no? Why is tattoo an excess but tearing a hole into your ear not excessive? In the end this is someone's interpretation, right?
Sure. Piercing is essentially mutilation as well. You asked for religious reasoning and give it to you. Now you decide to reject that based on "someones" interpretation, so its a free for all right? Do as you please and still call yourself a Muslim. Not that I am saying that you are calling yourself a Muslim.
As far as the Prophet cursing the tattooer, yeah, I have a hard time believing that, that is so counter to everything about the Prophet, he would never have cursed anyone for such a small thing, so yeah, sorry, I don't believe that.
That is fine, I am not asking you believe it. You wanted religious reasoning and you got it. I am not going to debate what happened a hundreds of years ago nor will I speak about what the Prophet did not do. Its not my place to do so.
In any case, I am not going to rest my argument on religion. Tattoos are trashy.
