Yeah well the area I live in here in Atlanta Georgia, it's all about money!! You got it..the price is right then..a tattoo, piercing, dying your hair (even bleached) etc is actually common, nothing surprising about it. Do they care about your health, no and neither does the mother if she decided to have it done. It's life!

I Would wait.. I Have heard that it takes alot longer to heal Because your body is more concentrated on baby and risk of infection is just not worth it.

The risk of infection or diseases (hepatitis, HIV, etc.) isn't worth it while pregnant. I'd say wait until after baby is born, that's just my opinion.

Any reputable tattoo shop will not do it. The risk of infection goes up alot during pregnancy it's just not worth it.

Actually a lot of tattoo shops will still give a pregnant woman a tattoo, she has to sign several different consent forms to release all liability and sign consent that the place/shop isn't responsible for any harm done to the mother or unborn baby. A lot of woman get there eyebrows and lips done. Is it safe? No, obviously it can carry very high risks, most of all...infection. I wouldn't recommend it...just wait until your baby is born and are not longer breastfeeding.

They won't tattoo you while pregnant.  It's more due to risk of infection than anything
