Tattoes and Body Jewellery

body body modification piercing tattoo

Do you have any mods or body piercing?

including gauges, anchors the skin, implants Sylicone [no fake boobs! jaja xD], tattoos, any type of change, nothing! Personally, I have guides … bites size 2 and I'm getting a piercing industral a year, and the snake.

My ears are tense, my septum is 8 and I have two rings in my nostrils (I took Em Out, the police actually did) other than that, I have a lot of tattoos.

Is the Baha’i Faith against tattoos and other body modifications?

My dad is Baha’i and when I brought up the idea of me getting a tattoo, he was adamantly against it. He was also extremely mad when my mom got my ears pierced when I was younger. Is it part of his faith or is it just him?

Tatoos were not uncommon in Qajar Iran, you can sometimes see it in portraits of the time. According to EG Browne’s summary of the Persian Bayan,

Wahid VIII, Chapter 6.
Concerning personal cleanliness. Every four days everyone is to enter the Cleansing House; and remove the hair of the body …. and using henna all over the body; the men writing therewith Ar-Rahman on their breasts, and the women Bism; and looking in a mirror every day and every night. …. henna may be used either for all or a portion of the body. Men may write on their breasts, which is the place of the love of God, in most excellent writing: ‘Allahumma’ for the people of the circles (women) and ‘Ar-Rahman’ for people of the forms (men). More than this may be written if they like. … And when he looks in the mirror he should thank his beloved for the beauty of his form. ….

The point of this I think is that for the Bab, human beauty did not mean that the body should not be altered – but if you use this one, are you ready to have a prayer written on your chest?

The Bab himself had some sort of a mark on his forehead:

On the next day the Báb was brought out from his prison into the public square. His green turban was taken off, so that He should not be recognized as a descendant of Muhammad; the people would not have permitted the sacrilege of putting a Siyyid to death. As to the mark on His forehead, the sacred sign, only the learned would be likely to see that, knowing its significance, and it was these very learned ones who had encompassed His death, in spite of this sign.
(Lady Blomfield, The Chosen Highway, p. 29)

You might also point out that the age of maturity in the Bahai Faith is quite young.
