Confession of a Newbie....

wow even tatoos are illegal... unbeleivable !!

HimalayanGuy watch it, you can get a death threat for that ;)

Hey I don't make the rules, just explaining what they are here. I don't care if people have tats or not but in Qatar its illegal for religious reasons.

Exiledsaint, you are saying tatooing is not allowed in Qatar. Its ok. but the reason you gave is so much funny. If Islam says you are not allowed to spoil what God has given you, then how come Mushlims are doing circumcision? that is also a part of spoiling. also you can say it as modification of your own body.

hehe,what a nice start for the newbie:D!!rock on!!..being absent yesterday,and seeing this comments,i guess i got a majority of answers,"focus on something thats LEGAL!!":P,hehe..anyways thanks for your views,now i need something to keep me busy??any suggestions guySS??its friday,MAKEMYDAYFRIDAY!!

Its against the law because its against religion. You are not allowed to spoil what god gave you, unless you are chopping off the end of your knob....

bink, NO..just relax..u just can't do it in any islamic country..thats it..

don't be a show-off about these tattoos!

Are the Tattoo's on me already before coming here also haram?

Some old links for your reference..Tattoos are considered to be HARAM as per ISLAMIC law..So be careful..

It's purely for religious reasons, this is an Islamic nation, if you don't accept the law maybe you should live elsewhere.

I think when you're practicing something that provokes muslim people you should expect to be critisized.

ask me on friday...

Did you answer the question? no you did not. Did you try to offer help to the one with the question? No again. What is the actual law about Tattoo's, I would like to know now myself. Is it a real law or religious edict?

It's not about anyone's personal views, its illegal here. You can't blame someone who isn't ready to tolerate it that you break the law. You have to take the blame on yourself for breaking or trying to break the law in the first place. Just cos its legal where you came from doesn't make it acceptable behavior here.

I am sure you can find someone running ink here in Doha. Just ask around the pinoy community, they will know. You need to be careful of who is around when you talk about it, as you see from most of the replies above these closed minded people think this is their personal viewpoint site. And they may take it upon themselves to rat you out .

I would question the overall sanitary conditions of any illigal opperation here in doha.

Side note to you muslims> again why do you feel you need to chime in with your personal views, alot of us like Tattoos, drinking, enjoy the company of well dressed women. I do not march around shouting my personal views at you.

who said we are scared of tattoos? [Watch it - deleted by Mods]

not easy

officially there are no shops BUT there are a few individual I hear they can do for you.

in regards to experience, hygiene and professionalism - I would recommend fly to Europe/US and get it done there.

you can find some tattoo artist in some areas like here in Ras Laffan..

Bad start

Unfortunatley Muslims are scared of tattoos. Go to Thailand

Bad start ..:-( Tattoos are illegal...may be you can manage it in normally hidden areas...:-)
