[Phassetus]

Thanks for making me feel more assured brother.May Allah bless your works within this site. I really just worry re: other muslims impression of me based on my looks. I am quite shamed when I get stared and judged and it makes me feel better.Alhamdu lillah!Also is not removal of tattos haram due to the scaring and mutilation of my body?

Please brother, do not be ashamed. Now that you have accepted Islam in the heart, all your past sins are forgiven,.
