tattoos
I know most all moms are going to flip out over controversial topics like this but I just got to ask.. I have a good number of tattoos and have never once had anything go wrong with them as far as infections and stuff so I decided to get another one the other day its on my arm and feels and looks great.. I am 21 weeks pregnant but not really showing I read all the papers and saw nothing about pregnancy and risks associated with tattoos.. I could understand if you were getting one directly on your baby bump but like I said I got it on my arm.. Does any one els feel like its OK to do so uf you know your body your artist and your pain talorance ??.. I know for a fact that were I go is clean and safe. And I have wonderful hygiene So I feel there is nothing wrong with it
OMG. As a wife to a tattoo artist shame on whoever inked ur body the risks of infection are very high due to your immunity being low. Ur only pregnant for 9 months. Selfish of u not to wait smh
If you "know there is nothing wrong with it" then why ask on here? Just going to get a bunch of s*** for it.
I for one think it was a bad choice.

The baby does not feel the pain of a tattoo, nor does he or she feel the pain we feel. The risk is very small, that you would contract a disease. This would be a concern in a dirty shop. I would only be concerned about the mercury in tattoo inks... I'm not sure what the amounts are but I'd bet it's only a fraction of what's in the vaccines which are pumped right into our blood streams. You are right, there are very few warnings because there so few and small risks.
I have no problem with anyone getting a tattoo i have a couple of small ones myself but christ above why would you get one during pregnancy and risk any infection...could you not have at least waited til your baby is born?? Unbelievable!
I disagree completely with the lady above. You can do a simple search on line and get thousands of warnings not to get a tattoo during pregnancy.
The mercury is a concern (the comment about vaccines is ill informed), the fact that your immunity is lower during pregnancy is a concern, and not just with getting the tattoo, also taking care of it after.
The simple fact is, pregnancy is only 40 weeks, once the babyb is born, get as many as you like, but when you are pregnant you are making choices for 2, which is not fair when the other person doesn't get a say.

Ill informed... because I didn't refer to the mercury as thimeresol?
