Arabic tattoo’s is going to deal more with “Muslim/Islamic” tattoos also as that is the major religion in the region.
In the relgion of Islam tattoo’s is strictly forbidden, a lot like the other religons. One has keep in mind the fact that body piercing, tattooing, branding, etc. all fall in the category of “unnecessary interference, alteration and mutilation of Allah’s creation.” Therefore Muslims should not get tattooed, but many chose to do so anyway in this new age.

To quote:

“Islam denounces excesses in beautifying oneself when it alters the physical features that Allah created him with. The Glorious Qur’an considers such alterations as inspired by Satan, who “…will command them (his devotees) to change what Allah has created…” (An-Nisa’: 119)

Some Arab women are in the habit of tattooing large areas of their bodies. People of certain religious sects tattoo pictures of their deities or religious rituals on their hands and chests.
This being said, temporary tattooing is allowed such as Henna Art or “Mehndi” which is popular in Southern Asia.

We will start with the Crescent Moon & Star Tattoo
The Crescent with Star, however, did not start as an Islamic symbol, but rather gained its popularity as a political symbol in the Middle East, eventually becoming associated with one of the main religions of the region. In fact, early Islamic communities used little in the way of symbolism, especially in terms of iconography.

Verses From the Koran
Many people choose to put the verse that means the most to them from the holy Koran on themselves as a way to remind themselves of what they believe in.

(Hamsa) Khamsa Hand Of Fatima Tattoo
Also sometimes known as the “Eye of Fatima” this symbol is already used all over in jewelry and decorations. There is also an alternative Jewish name for this and it is “Hand of Miriam” The symbol holds some significance for many Muslims, particularly in the Maghreb, including Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia where it can be readily found in Arab markets. The Hamsa is a talisman to protect against the evil eye. In Egypt it is very widespread, and often painted on the fronts of homes, and in the Middle East, and in India and Pakistan. Because of this reason many people choose to get it as a tattoo.

There are literally many other “muslim tattoo’s” that people around the world have of different things, we just covered the most basic arabic tattoos even though most were Islamic tattoos in nature. It should be pointed out many even get the word allah tattood on to themselves as a way to identify themselves as muslims. I have included two other tattoo’s I have found, please tell me what you think of them.
