you shouldn't without a person who knows what there doing, but i have done it before
only if they cut of the ends of the tails cuz they killed Steve Irwin with the tail so yah
the tails don't need to be cut off. you just need to have proper supervision and only touch the wings.
Even if you know what you are doing you shouldn't handle them unless it is absolutely necessary, Rays, Sharks and fish have a protective mucilaginous coating that provides protection from things such as parasites, fungal infection and the sun. When you touch them you wipe off the mucilage and so to the protection. If animals are regularly touched (such as approachable resident fish in popular dive sites) they are more prone to infection and sunburn. If you snorkel or Scuba dive and you happen to see a tame fish with white scar-looking lines this is the reason

It is generally not recommended to touch stingrays in their natural habitat, as they may feel threatened and may sting in self-defense. If you are in a controlled environment such as an aquarium, it may be possible to touch a stingray under supervision from trained staff.
