Are tattoos ok in Qatar?

I am moving to Qatar soon for work and have some tattoos, will I have to cover them? Might sound stupid, but just wondering

there are no Tattoo shops at all...since it is considered illegal.

Regards

PS: try searching since this topic has had several discussions before.

may be frowned upon by many of the locals, but (barring nudity/profanity in them) nobody will give you a hard time about them seeing as you are an expat.

and @ brady ann...touche! :)

Obviously you have to hide them at work, since it's not professional to have apparent piercings or tattoos.

However, outside on public,it's ''socially unacceptable'' to have a visible tattoo especially if it's very visible and contains nudity or foul language!
