    Woman and tattoos

    Hi Everyone,
    I wanted to get everyone's opinion about the general opinion on young woman that have tattoos. How is it perceived in Algeria, in the different cities, specially Tlemcen. I wanted to know because i visited last summer, and i was told it was ok in Tlemcen, but now there are people telling me different things. Will you help telling me what your city thinks overall?

    tattoos in islam are haram... and since Algeria is a muslim country, its going to be viewed as distasteful by the majority of the country....

    Although, personally, I'm not a fan of tatoos, it's an interesting subject. In light of them being forbidden, would anyone have information about the custom of Berber women having facial tatoos?

    I think if u have layered ur body with them u will freak people out, but if uv got one or tiny ones no one would care really..
