Regarding the rule of tattooing in islam, i would like to know is it permissible to get a tattoo and if not, is there any hadith which clearly states tattooing is haraam?

Answer

Tattooing is not permissible in Islam. Imam Bukhari (RA) has recorded a Hadith in his Sahih on the authority of Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) cursed the tattooist and the one who gets himself tattooed.
