getting a tattoo while pg?

[pritigrl15]

Good or bad?
16wks and thinking of getting one on my shoulder.
Was going to wait till after but it would be more painful since carrying the baby and all....
Just wondering if its a bad thing to do while pg

I got a tattoo before finding out I was pregnant, but it would have been very early.
you're producing a lot of extra blood right now, so it probably wouldn't be the best time. and the other girls are right. the risk of infection is high anyways, but adding a baby into the mix doesn't sit well with most artists.

I have a tat I got after my son was born, expecting number two frightfully adding to it for my new little guy, very exciting but definitely should wait and as always look into the shop before proceeding :)

OK I most definitely won't risk it then. Thanks lol I can wait. Ha

the pain can make the baby go into shock even if it dont hurt u it can hurt the baby

Most credible artists won't do it due to infection risk. Plus your skin is hypersensitive right now. I don't recommended it.

There's risk of infection...Hepatitis B, HIV...

Im pretty sure most tattooists wont tattoo you if you tell them your pregnant. Not sure why but i know in aust you have to actually sign something saying youre not pregnant/liability waiber before they will proceed. :)
