Tattoo itching?

I just got a new tattoo in March and it's my first one.  For the last couple days it's been itching.  Does anyone else get this during pregnancy?

Hi all
I have many tattoos and none of them itching although my legs itch like crazy I even doom fogged our house because I thought maybe it was fleas or something but no its just me! My luck huh? My hubby is fine.

All of mine are driving me batty (and I have lots and lots) but I found any moisturiser seems to mellow it down heaps.  The only ones not itching are the really, really (15+ years) ones.

I have 3 tattoos and mine don't itch. BUT i have read online on various sites that pregnancy can cause itchy skin, I've heard many women complain about it so maybe thats whats happening and it chose the site of your tattoo for some reason?

Oh god  I have a tattoo that i love on my stomach right next to my hip bone and its getting a little stretched i hope it survives this pregnancy! I dont want it looking all hideous after because its so pretty I dont want it to get messed up!
