Hey everyone! I'm wearing three tattoos in forearm, neck and in wrist.

Is it compulsory to cover it up every time when u go out? Wearing a full sleeve t shirt sounds like one heck of a job. Suggest me. Im basically from India.

Not sure it's compulsory, but it definitely is advisable. Tattooing in the KSA is illegal, as are many other activities you'd be better off covering up!

If it is not a permanent Tattoo better to remove in the visible areas, as you not willing to wear a full sleeves T-Shirt while going out !

Hey...I guess if you are a non muslim, no one is going to bother you...and by no one I mean the police or the religious police...

Not an issue, but better to cover up just at workplace as it's a professional environment.

When out of office, no one will bother you. You will get the once in a blue moon crack head giving you forbidden look or say something so ignore him.

If you don't feel comfortable then cover it up, you'd be surprised to see how many muslims are getting tattoos these days.
