Tattoos are part of fashion, I don’t think doing fashion is wrong but Sikh should avoid anything which is unordinary. Having tattoo will not be issue if it is not 'Khanda'. Still Sikh should look simple not yanki, gurbani is agianst any life which you get used to meaning you should not have 'Chaska' of anything. Having tattoo should be fine if it is your name or something but nothing relating to Sikhism. Well that is my view.

so do u think having a lion or somethink is ok

I dont think anything wrong with that, Sikhs should not cut or remove their hairs. So if tattos are not making you to do that it is fine.

Tattoos are Wrong Wrong Wrong! They are not okay because for a Sikh its wrong to alter body that Vaheguroo ji gave us..
We are supposed to be Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Roop Can You see Guru Gobind Singh Ji w/ a sher da tattoo or Khanda?
i cant!! So i wouldnt suggest getting one.. Khalsa is supposed to be like a Sher.. if u want to get a tattoo of it then its showing off or for ur own entertainment..
Khalsa is supposed to be pure w/in Not walk around w/ tattoos of shers!! i mean u can get it if u really want to but in my point of way ITS WRONG! if i see it on someone i wuldnt think highly of em!

liberty ji,

As I have mentioned that Gurbani tells us not to be used to any luxury life that can take us away from Waheguru ji. Now the way you are saying it is not allowed and Guru ji never did that, yes Guru ji did not do it but never stoped us from doing it and other thing is tattoos never existed at that time, Veer ji guru ji never travelled on Plane and never used telephone, never used internet does it mean Sikhs should not use all that now?? Please also refer me to sabad from Guru Shaib ji which condemn us to have tattoos or something like that. Yes staying simple is better I agree.

Travelling on the plane and using telephone HAVE NOTHING TO DO W/ ALTERING BODY.. or any spiritual meaning..
Sikh is supposed to treat its body like a temple not alter it.. ask any sant about it
tattoos existed in the 80s but our shaheed fighters didnt go to the tattoo shop to get a khalistan tattoo like people do now days..
khalistan aint a joke its a cause singhs laid down their lives for by forsaking their families and other things!
can you see shaheed bhai anokh singh ji getting a tattoo?
we shoudl keep our skin clean we shuldnt put ink in our skin just for entertainment..
its kinda like how we shuld cut our kesh..
this is definition of it : dont u see anything wrong w/ it? A tattoo is a marking made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons.


And who said tattoos didnt exist back then they did look it up they have been around since the ancient times (ancient japs wore them on their faces) the process was a lil diff.
to get tattoos u have to have ur part where ur getting it shaven - not sikhi!! unless its sole of feet/hand

Thank you bhen ji,

You are talking about 80s, very good I dont know how old are you but I have seen that time I was still child but I have some memories. You are talking about having tattoos for sikhs who laid their lives. We are not talking about any great sikhs's personnel lives we talking about having tattoos, your keep on mentioning names of shaheed sings I dont know how that is answer to questions. They were great people and they had great love for sikhi and Guru ji, but had they ever said anywhere that having tattoos is wrong. you are saying that sikhs should not alter their body anyhow, that means going to gym making musles is also issue because that also altering the body. I dont know why you people want sikhs to always look so separated from the world that they are superiors than others, Guru ji kept on calling themself dsan ke das.

Please prove your point by giving sabad from Guru Shaib ji, dont give the example of sants becuase sants never talked about having or not having tattoos. Other thing is I would like to be sikh of guru ji not sikh of any sant, Sants were sants because Guru ji made them sant. So lets talk about Gurbani and give me any sabad which says altering body is sin please note having tattoo is not altering body but decorating the body.

Now about 80, I have seen many singhs had written their name on their arms, i dont remember that people used to have tattoos that time but written 'Ekk Onkar" in punjabi and their name was common and people had that. Other thing about 80s that I have seen now there are thousands and lakhs of fans of Sant ji ( Sant Jarnail Singh ji Bhindernwala) I remember that he had many fans before 1984 too but as soon as after the attack it was hard to find his fan, people did not want to talk about him. I remember in my village there was family belonging to Tarkhan community. Their son had a cassette with speeches of sant ji, I remember what police did to them and after that in whole village and villages near by never used to talk about Sant ji. Just now police has loosen the laws and I have seen people again back with his stickers on everywhere. What i am saying is i have idea of 80s. I had two uncles who was army and then were arrested as sikhs army tried to protect the attack on Darbar Shaib ji, now days there are called dharam fozi but those days people used to not sit with them as police was always keeping eye on them. Only reason I was telling all that because I have good experience of 80's. I have seen singhs written their names and 'ekk onkar' on their hand and arms. Otherwise that is not our subject.

Our Subject is about tattoos and you saying Saheed Singh never did it , but did they ever condemned it that is the point , there should have other 1000 thing they did not do but did they condemn doing those 1000 things that is the point. So please tell me that if it is not allowed why it is not allowed and where it is condemned in Gurbani.
