Is Tattoo Haram In Islam?
According to Professor javed ghamidi, it is not haram to get a tattoo but there’s a hadith in sahih bukhari, hadith no: 4886 which clearly states that prophet cursed a woman who practices tattoo. The hadith is as follows:
Narrated Alqama:
Abdullah (bin Masud) said. "Allah curses those ladies who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those ladies who remove the hair from their faces and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allah's creation." His saying reached a lady from Bani Asd called Um Yaqub who came (toAbdullah) and said, “I have come to know that you have cursed such-and-such (ladies)?” He replied, “Why should I not curse these whom Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) has cursed and who are (cursed) in Allah’s Book!” Um Yaqub said, “I have read the whole Qur’an, but I did not find in it what you say.” He said, “Verily, if you have read it (i.e. the Qur’an), you have found it. Didn’t you read: ‘And whatsoever the Apostle gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you, you abstain (from it). (59.7) She replied, “Yes, I did,” He said, “Verily, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) forbade such things.” “She said, “But I see your wife doing these things?” He said, “Go and watch her.” She went and watched her but could not see anything in support of her statement. On that he said, “If my wife was as you thought, I would not keep her in my company.” -

Please refer to the following video

This video does not respond to the changing Allah’s creation argument. It talks about shirk

There is critcism on the content of this particular narration of Bukhari 4886 because of the high possibility of amalgamation of some words of the narrator(s). The primary narration, according to us, seems to be Bukhari 5946 (https://sunnah.com/bukhari:5946) which is quoted as a direct saying of the Prophet (sws) and when seen in the light of Quran 7:33, the argument of polytheism or polytheistic tattoos as presented by Ghamidi Sahab makes more sense while understanding this narration.
