Pearl of Wisdom

'Your quest to secure your means of subsistence should be such that it is neither like the earning of a wasteful . squanderer, and nor like the greedy man who loves and depends on this world. Rather, you must raise yourself from the level of weakness and incapacity, and bring yourself down [from the level of greed] to the level of an equitable and virtuous man, and seek your earning the way a believer should.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Bihar al-Anwar, v. 103, p. 33, no. 63

Question:
May I ask what is the source of this?

Surely for woman there is a Hadith that they should not make blue marks on their bodys. (Godna, i.e. small drills with the needles and then filling colour) which is exactly like tattos.

I would say that there is no specific with Hadith because no men were doing this. I understand there is no specific Hadith for men but we have to conclude that if it is not permitted for women then it is twice not permitted for men.
