The answer

The forbidden tattooing in Islam is that which is permanent and cannot be removed except through a surgical procedure, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Allah has cursed the woman who lengthens hair and the woman who asks for hair to be lengthened, and the woman who tattoos and the woman who asks for tattoos." As for colors and dyes that fade over time and are easy to remove, there is no religious impediment to using them for adornment, provided they are pure, are applied for a religiously permissible purpose (such as adornment for the husband or maharim), and do not involve imitation of immoral women.
