Joy is right, HOWEVER... there are places that will tattoo a pregnant woman but it's unlikely that you'll find one. I think that it's a law to not tattoo a pregnant woman. Just wait until you have your baby, then get the tattoo. I just had my son and will be getting his footprints tattoo'd on my back. I'd wait until after your baby is born, it's only 8 more months.

Tattoo parlors will not tattoo pregnant women for liability reasons. You need to respect the law. Wait until after baby is born!

They will NOT tattoo you while pregnant. My SIL owns a Tattoo shop when she became pg she had to stop the work on her self and wait till after he was born to finish her leg piece.

You should not get tattoo's or piercings while you are pregnant! I'm not sure exactly what the adverse effects are but I know its one of the things you are not supposed to do. I do know that when your pregnant your immune system is depressed or kinda burdened by the baby and you are much more susceptible to infection. That much I do know. So yeah I wouldn't, I was planning on getting a tat or my nose repierced but I'm waiting till after the baby to be safe.

Don't do it when you are pregnant! What if you get something from the needle? I know it almost never happens but still. Anyways your tattoo would take much longer to heal
