Is selling tattoo machines and tools forbidden or permissible?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If a tattoo involves injecting the skin with pigments, it is a forbidden form of tattooing (washi), and selling its tools is prohibited because it constitutes aiding in sin. However, if it is a temporary external dye that fades over time and does not alter Allah's creation, then there is no objection to it.
